Let me expand on my previous posting re 2010 flick (it's too late for you to stop me anyway...) Previous discusiions here, several moons ago, implied that the director of this flick had the wrong attitudes for serious SF film work. I didn't see any evidence of that in the few TV commercial scenes, but then they were so short that it's hard to tell. At least it didn't seem hoked up like "Dark Star", and they trimmed the plastic flashing and excess glue off their models. The moons of Jupiter play a big part in this story. Months ago I mentioned that the film had better do an awesome job in the SFX dept to match the moon actions in the novel AND our close-up Voyager photos of the actual moons. Next to NASA's pix, 2001's Jupiter stuff looks pretty dull. COme to think of it, NASA does pretty good zero-G special effects too-- have they got something Hollywood doesn"t? :-) "That's cheating--using REAL spaceships!" mike k
