I rather liked it.... it wasn't quite the story of Andy but aside from the title it was fairly close to Asimov's original intentions in the stories it was adapted from, and that's a lot. If you are an Asimov fan, there is a half-hour adaptation of "The Ugly Little Boy" that was done by PBS in the early seventies and actually is one of the best adaptations around in my opinion. --scott The Betty Page film was not too bad, but Joe Bob would definitely give it the thumbs down for showing a lot less than it promised.... -- "C'est un Nagra.

There were assorted short stories of his that didn't fit into the two major ones: the "robot" books: I Robot and so on, There was the Daneel Olivaw and Elijah Bailey (a cop from earth) stories and then the two latter were connected to his Foundation series in his later books. Bicentenial Man was a book of short stories (including the title short story) he wrote (he wrote over 360 books in his lifetime, using all 10 divisions of the Dewey decimal system possibly a world record for a writer). The exact title of the book was: The Bicentennial Man and other stories. According to my copy the LoC number is:ISBN-0-449-23573-4. BTW the I, Robot Movie had nothing to do with the stories either - aside from a somewhat more striking version of Susan Calvin than Isaac would have cast. The I Robot stories were four (?) books of short stories. -- (setq (chuck nil) car(chuck) ) |
