Interesting stuff on Asimov! You know, it's been at least 25 years since I've read any of Asimov's stories, other than the "Foundation" trilogy.

There are a few authors like that I feel a need to go back and reread periodically--Tolkien of course, Heinlein, Verne, Wells, Poe, Stephen King, a few others. And certain runs of Spiderman and X-Men :)

I saw the movie The Bicentennial Man, starring Robin Williams, and enjoyed it. I have no idea if it was close to Asimov's story, since I never read the original story. But, I thought the movie was thought-provoking, and raised some interesting questions concerning what qualifies as "life".

Did you see AI? What did you think of that?

I saw AI, and didn't really care for it. But then, the only Kubrick film I really like is A Clockwork Orange. Plus, I think it was sort of obvious which parts of the movie were Kubrick's, and which parts were Spielberg's.
