You know that's very true, hard science fiction masquerading as fantasy or 
fantasy masquerading as hard science fiction.  I'd doubt most Hollywood 
producers would understand it well enough to do a good job.

But only if it was a _good_ movie of Ringworld. Varley's Titan, Wizard and 
Demon would also make a great series of movies.

OT: Happy JRR Tolkien's Birthday

[Mike Johnston]

JRR Tolkien begins the Lord of the Rings tale with a 111th birthday party
for Bilbo Baggins, calling it an eleventy-first birthday ... a very curious
number and a very respectable age for a Hobbit. Today is Tolkien's
eleventy-first birthday.

Just noticed the article about this on the BBC web page. Bet the movie
theatres will be packed today!

Mikedalf,

Come and see us here near Oxford and I'll take you to the hallowed inner 
sanctum that is The Eagle and Child in St. Giles where the mighty T. sat 
with fellow Inkies and alledgedly discussed ecrivital doings (BTW I made 
that word up) while supping pints.

Can't stand fantasy myself. Hard SF all the way for me.
