From: Slocum@HI-MULTICS.ARPA > computer in Rollerball was 'Zero.' (I distinctly remember the > 'head' computer scientist [computer priest?] losing it and kicking > the thing when it wouldn't do what he wanted) Oh, one of my favorite actors, Sir Ralph Richardson, played the computer priest. And he was just as eccentric as his computer (a fluid dynamics based computer, as I recall). You remember him, he was also the wonderful wizard in DragonSlayer (which I enjoyed a lot). He's one of the few great actors (I'm talking really great- I put him somewhere near Lawrence Olivier and John Gielgud) to do much fantasy or science fiction work. (No, I don't consider Shakespeare to be fantasy, except Midsummer Nights Dream, and maybe The Tempest, and maybe ...). Brett Slocum (ARPA : Slocum\@HI-MULTICS) (UUCP : ...ihnp4!umn-cs!hi-csc!slocum)
