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. :)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

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

Perhaps it's a cylinder viewed from the side?

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.
