Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama going Hollywood?

Doug writes "Arthur C Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama is being made into a movie! I first saw it at this interesting article about Pixar. And sure enough, there is a website set up for the movie! Staring Morgan Freeman and Lori McCreary. Its about a huge several kilometer long space craft passing near Earth, visited by humans who are taken across the universe. The trilogy was awesome, and I hope the movie is on par with Clarke's 2001!"

    Wasn't this movie already made. I swore I saw the Rama spacecraft in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. It was looking for whales ;-)

    Panic Room was surprisingly enjoyable. When I first heard the premise I thought to myself, "Holy shit, Jodie Foster and some little kid trapped inside a room for two hours annoying the shit out of me? Jesus Christ, this is going to get old really quickly." I was all set to shit my pants in protest but as the credits started to roll I realized that I had not soiled myself. While the little girl in the movie did annoy me, my level of annoyance never rose so high as to warrant a fecal matter bombing. So I'd suggest you see it.

    And both Seven (don't call it "Se7en", that pisses me off) and Fight Club were very good. If you enjoyed Fight Club, you should read "Choke" and "Survivor" by the same author - but you might want to consider avoiding "Invisible Monsters." You have to be ultra-intelligent like myself to properly enjoy "Invisible Monsters" and, without the ability to test you, I can't say one way or the other as to how intelligent you are. Oh, and in that vein "American Psycho", "Less than Zero", and "The Rules of Attraction", all by Bret Easton Ellis are also some books you might enjoy. Don't go to movies. They're bad for you and usually lead to pants-shitting.
