Same here -- even though I haven't read the books.:)
I'd also like to see more interesting SF make it to the big screen, such as the _Man-Kzin_ series, though that's off topic.
Anyone interested in space colonization might also want to check out my essay on the topic at my site. It was written several years ago, but it is not totally anachronistic.
