This doesn't have to do with the topic, but I just bought Rendezvous With Rama and Rama II from Goodwill.
 k:Mars may not have life, but you have to watch Pluto, or as the locals call it, Yuggoth. There's some nasty stuff there. |

Off Topic:
Sebatianos, OF COURSE the movie has better soundtrack. I've never heard of a book (a regular paper book) with soundtrack! :blink: I was refering to the story as a whole where the film has buggered so much with the story for no reason. An example is that in the film they go to Jupiter whereas in the book they travel to Saturn. What's the bloody point of changing that? In the book they even have a little action as they use Jupiter to slingshot onwards to Saturn. Damn Kubrik, ruining the story like he has with that lousy part at the end of the film... :ranting: OK, ranted away now... |

I know we're getting off topic and I agree with you that the book is much better. I nearly pointed out that the movie isn't so bad - It's quite good up to the point when they come to the present... The prehistoric apes learning to use bones is a good sequence, but I miss the preditor animals chasing our forfathers and them learning to fight back.
And about changing Saturn to Jupiter, well... That's not entirely Kubrick's fault. Clarke was very much involved with the creation of the movie and after he finished the book he wanted to change that himself - because of Europe. I loved his descritpion of the moons of Jupiter and sligshooting forward to Saturn and I really loved his discriptions of the moons of Saturn, be Clarke himself desided to change that! He wanted to destroy the biggest planet for the creation of the Sun in 2010 and he also knew that Europa has bigger possibileties of life, so he wanted the Monoliths there. At that point he already knew that he'll write 2010 and even 2064. So he changed the planets. He couldn't change the book that was already on th ebookshelves, so when the movie was being made he asked Kubrick to change Saturn into Jupiter because it fitted the sequal (of the book) better. And now back to the topic: Do you think life could evolve on Titan? I personally don't think so. There's not enough heat and not enough radiation from the sun to create mutations... Heat is I still believe a prerequiremant for life. Even Mars would be too cold now - maybe a few billion years ago... |
