I bow to your superior judgement. I abase myself. Of course I have seen and loved most of those films, I have played Planetfall and Stationfall, and I do reread Adams. (I was talking about books rather than film though).

Thank you so very much for your courteous and thoughtful comment. I stand corrected, of course.

Note to self: you idiot! why are you engaging in such puerile and pointscoring crap? Choose more carefully whom you respond to in future. Never let this occur again!!

Science fiction by its very nature makes such an ideal vehicle for everything from social satire to outright slapstick that your assertion that they don't mix well is, it seems, the very quintessence of absurd.

Hasn't someone else just stated that?

Shhhh.... OB thinks he's being clever. Just let him wear himself out, then someone give him a juice box.

:laff: As soon as the TTLG forums are back online, a thread immediately turns into a slanging match. :cheeky:

So much for a big, happy, taffing family aye? :joke:

Amusingly, that *is* the big happy family.

Sooo... we're to understand that the works of Douglas Adams were, in your opinion, unsuccessful? Likewise for the science fiction of Mark Twain and Kurt Vonnegut Jr? And can we furthermore surmise that you were nonplussed by Red Dwarf, Quark, Futurama, Spaceballs, Airplane II, Real Genius, Men in Black, Weird Science, Dr. Strangelove, Brazil, Time Bandits, Demolition Man, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Sleeper, Back to the Future, Galaxy Quest, and The Fifth Element? And it probably goes without saying that you've never played the adventure games Planetfall or Maniac Mansion, let alone their respective sequels.

Wow! You have better taste in movies than I would have thought, ZB! :p (Red Dwarf forever, yo!:cheeky: ) And I agree with you about sci fi and humour. Where would we all be if Captain Kirk didn't have to confront Tribbles or if Lister didn't have to have his arms amputated because of a talking virus just to have them back again in the next episode? :laff: :laff: :laff:
