I am certain that the news will sadden many fans of Arthur C. Clarke world-wide.

I was first intrduced to his work in December 1968. The school that I was attending here in Athens took us to see 2001: A Space Odyssey at the Cinerama movie theater on Patision Street in Athens. Well talk about a movie firing ones imagination to astronomical heights. I was comepletly overtaken by the visual effects of the movie. I, and many others, still consider it the best sci-fi movie ever made.

2010 was an ok movie, but nowhere near 2001.

I have a very interesting book that talks about the making of the movie. The only humor in the movie was the scene where Dr. Floyd is reading the instructions on how to us the zero gravity toilet.
