Roland Emmerich to ruin "Foundation"

[stePH]

Hasn't Asimov already ruined Foundation?

Aw, you beat me to it.

It was way too talky.

I had Foundation's Edge and Foundation & Earth more in mind.

I had Foundation's Edge and Foundation & Earth more in mind.

I had all of them in mind.

I love Isaac Asimov, especially since he was the first sci-fi author I read, but to me, Foundation was boring and I never got past about halfway through it, much less the sequels.  I adore his other works, though, including his Black Widowers series.  My all-time favorite is Heinlein, though, which is why I'm such a big fan of Spider Robinson.

Hunh.

Guess I need to get moving on my plan to resurrect the zombie corpse of Isaac Asimov and send him after Will Smith. The list of people he must destroy just keeps getting longer.

...my similiar plan with zombie HG Wells and Steven Spielberg did not go well...

Why is Will Smith to blame?  I personally lay fault at the people who wrote a screenplay with the working title "Hard Wired", and then bought the I, Robot license to squander on it.

yea i wouldnt blame will smith on that one... he can act, its everyone else's fault.

[Anarquistador]

Okay, I'll blame everyone else.

I just like to blame Will Smith for stuff. It's irrational, I know.

I have the same thing with Rob Zombie. Weird.

This may interest you - The Time Traveller Show podcast had an episode with an archive taped talk by Asimov, about an hour long, from 1973. See http://timetravelershow.com/2006/11/07/show-notes-for-the-time-traveler-show-10-asimov-speaks/

It was quite interesting and entertaining.

Only at the bit where big breasted women get off with old college professors, the first three Foundation books are okay.

Like I said before ... Foundation's Edge and Foundation and Earth were still Asimov's work; that's what I was referring to.  I never even bothered checking out the additional books that somebody else wrote (Benford?)
