Okay, BadgersHat.
Sure, I exaggerated the hell out of my example to make a point (and for a little humor value).
But my point was that I did not object to someone making a new story that took place in Asimov's world, but rather to them making a story that COULD NOT take place in Asimov's world, and then sticking Asimov's name on it.
This is a particularly sore point with me, I guess, because I owe a lot to that man. Not so much with his science fiction, but with his science fact articles. For thirty or forty years, this guy wrote interesting, easy to read science articles in the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, and I got most of those collected works as a kid. He opened my eyes and gave me a sense of wonder of the universe.
But I'll stop bad-mouthing the movie until I actually see it.
Huh. Probably, "I, Robot" book sales will rise to levels unseen in decades.

I just got back from seeing this movie (it's only just opened in the UK) and I just want to say WOW!
I loved it!
I was genuinely scared, nearly cried at one of the Sonny bits and laughed a lot.
It took me all of 30 seconds to dissociate Alan Tudyk from Wash and I thought he was fantastic as Sonny.
5 stars! (out of 5 of course)
Oh and as a bonus before the movie there was a trailer for Dodgeball. I'm rather excited about that too.
