I was reminded of this site recently, and since it hasn't been linked to in over a year, I figured I'd post it for you guys. Besides, the URL changed since it was last posted. :)

Why was the Sathanas in ther eagain? Just random chance?
-
There was a space slug in StarWars? I don't recall that, expecially if it was realy huge.
Aswell, get a load of the grey rectangle in the -10x section. Go Arthur Clarke:D :D

Good to see someone mention the Rama. :) Boring ass ship, but a real beauty if you read the books.
Nice to see the Deathstar next to the Earth's moon. That laser is obviously a lot more powerful than I ever gave it credit for.

But...its a rectangle...not even beveled edges, jjust...a rectangle
I'm sure you can make up all sorts of cool fiction about how the ship works, the crew etc, but its still a rectangle.
BTW, were is it from. I mean like from what book/movie. If its from 2001, then I see no excuse for the rectangleness. From what I know (and don't quote me on this, it was before my time) 2001 wasn't made much before Star Wars, and comparetively the SFX are...incomparable

Woo, Lexx. The big bug rules.

Rama is a cylinder--or at least some of them are. In the book by Arthur C. Clarke (and the follow on series by Mr. Clarke and Gentry Lee) they are humanity's first encounter with an alien race--almost. This mysterious ship comes hurtling out of the void, slingshots around the sun and heads out of the Solar System. humans go out there to explore it, but it seems to be deserted. Really cool story. The ending of the entire series is rather... pathetic, but the journey getting there more than makes up for it. It isn't an action story, its a thinking story.
Incidentally, there is a game, Rendevous with Rama based on the second book in the series, that puts you in place of one of the main characters (Rebecca de Jardins, IIRC). Pretty good game.
As for the SFX in 2001: 2001 was released in 68. Star Wars in 77. Oh and Star Wars is silly space opera. 2001 is a story about man's place in the universe. Apples and oranges, man.
