Finally! Instead of worthless, drug-addicted movie "stars" we see man whose death actually can be mourned without shame. Clarke was a worthy human being, a genius at science and the writing of science fiction and an inspiration for good movies. Although your accompanying animosity makes it terribly difficult to agree... yes, Clarke was a giant... (and one of those from whom I'd most like to hear what he sees now...) Yes, and that certainly was a touching eulogy by Rich, wasn't it? I doubt Clarke would've approved. If only we could get Rich to move to Sri Lanka in homage to him. Only if they'd let me shoot Tamil rebels for sport from my porch. |
