Toxic, psychotic, self-aggrandizing drama queens simply aren't worth me spending my time on.

Bobcat Goldthwait?

I was just joking.  Thinking of a comically bad choice for that character.

To be honest I just imagined Matt Damon again.

You know Rendezvous with Rama is in production.  That was one of my top 3-4 favorite books.

Cool!  I didn't know it.  I will look forward to that one.

Books in that sort of category that I liked:
Ringworld
Riverworld
Gateway
Eon
Titan, Wizard, Demon trilogy

Same guy as did Dune.

Ooo.  At the very least, it will look and sound great.

Some of his choices on Dune I would have done different, but I think this will be an easier adaptation.

His Dune was at least better than that Lynch abomination. ;)

I always thought Dune should have been done in rotoscope like the original LOTR. ;)

I would like to see The White Mountains, The City of Gold and Lead, and The Pool of Fire be made into films.  A great trilogy of books that rival War of the Worlds.
