Whats the name of the book again?  And the author?  I was looking for some new books to read.  :thepimp:

In order: Hyperion, The Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, and The Rise of Endymion. They're by Dan Simmons. I've only read the first two so far but I plan on continuing.

On a side note, if you get rid of Jupiter, you are asking for trouble. Right now Jupiter acts as a giant comet magnet. Take Jupiter out of the equation, and lots of rocks out there start to get into our inner system and it´s only a matter of time before one reaches Earth again.

Anyway, anyone remember an old movie about a black hole, where a ship encounters this massive other ship trapped in a black hole´s pull, inhabited by a mad scientist and his robot? I can´t remember the english title. "Black Abyss" maybe?
In the end, the huge ship gets destroyed by the gravity forces, and they escape into the hole, emerging in a new universe. Coolest movie í ever saw when i was a kid. Anyone knows wich movie i mean? What was it called?
No Freespace 3 ?!? Oh, bugger...

Actually, it was called, rather unimagiinatively "Black Hole".

And it was by Disney, so I'd suggest you not ruin your fond childhood memories.

Yeah, i just did a search on it, and found the original title. The translation into portuguese was off by a mile.
It´s all coming back to me, the struggle between the small cute robot Vincent against the big red and evil Maximillian! By todays standards, that movie was crap. But for a young boy watching it for the first time, it was awesome!
And the ship was (and still is) a very cool design.

I remember that movie. I thought it was scary when I saw it. :p

It's very different from Disney's other movies.

You know, R2 and Amidala were VERY close (he was always in her room when she was asleep....) Whose to say her constant undressing didn't drive him "bonkers" and he tasered her and then... (censored)

Man VIncent was so unlikeable, but Max. God I loved the big red guy (even if he was a bit of a psycho). I also liked STARR that dude who was king of the laser gun range. Rememebr him?


I tried to convert the cygnus but it fialed (probably intersecting polys) Atra made it..

Anyway they tried to get rid of Godzilla in G vs Megagaurius (the black hole cannon was code named D.T. Dimensional Tide) They fired it about 3 or 4 times... Check it out for cheesy black holes fired by satelite into the Earth...

BTW are we turninginto Romulans now? All are space craft powered by Micro Singularities?

Vincent and Bob were some of the coolest robots ever though, especially since Vincent could kick arse with twin arm-mounted laser cannon ;)
