It is great to see movies thriving again! I love going to the movies. I don't want to see movie theaters go away! I was in high school when Craig started playing bond. He was a damn good one. I'm going to miss him playing 007! I feel so old! I'm also a big fan of the world of Spiderman! So I'm thrilled to see Venom 2 breaking records!

I have been requesting for Outlander' Star Sam Heughan to replace Craig as 007 for years! I hope and pray he wins the role! But I'm realistic  Hollywood hates fans, so they will, unfortunately, Pass him over as James Bond and ignore the dozens of polls he keeps winning. Sam has bested everyone Cavill, Hardy, Hiddleston, everyone the man was born to play James Bond!

Loved his books, was not thrilled with the follow ups by others.
There was a time I had all of Asimov's books and lot's by other SciFi authors courtesy the Science Fiction Book Club all hardback. Unfortunately I had them stored at my BIL house and lost them all to black mold when his home flooded. Holding a Kindle just doesn't have the same feel a real paper book.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The other thing I like about hard copy is that it doesn't change between the last time you picked it up and the nest time.

Over 45 years ago Larry Niven wrote a hilarious short story on why Superman would never be able to mate with an earthling.

I hope it's better than the original. Everybody  I talked to that saw the original said it sucked.

@Gefn

I saw it,and thought it was ok.
