I say go ahead with your amendments then publish the book. Look on the project as a tribute to your father's work.
I'm guessing I'm the only one here who's never seen any of the 'Star Wars' movies?
There's loads of films which I hear people raving about that, for one reason or another, I've simply no interest in watching.
Conversely, I suppose the same can be said by others about the old movies I enjoy.
No, you're not alone. I've not seen any of them either, bar a bit from one that was on TV a few Christmases ago where they were fighting a giant worm thing in the desert. It's not really my cup of tea. Like yourself, I'm sure there are plenty of popular films I've never watched though I've seen plenty of obscure spy films to make up for it. :)
I'm no fan of the Sci-Fi genre anyway so am aware that I carry my prejudices forward into any of those types of films/TV shows.
Yes, I have my in-built prejudices against sci-fi and fantasy too and I think that colours my judgement on such films and TV series. I tend to prefer films and TV series that are grounded in some recognisable reality and where people don't have space age technology or special magical powers. There's too many films I want to see within the genres I do enjoy (spy and detective films) for me to waste time on anything else.
Thank you, I will do that.
a) Harder sci-fi
b) Softer sci-fi, or fantasy, as long as they are not too fairytale-ish or comic-booky (too "Disney", perhaps), or if they contain a cynical, quirky, even snarky style and/or worldview
That's why I've enjoyed quite a bit films like 2OO1, 2O1O, Blade Runner, 12 Monkeys, Outland, the older Planet of the Apes movies, Soylent Green, Terminator, etc, which I think fit into (a). I've also enjoyed very much films like The Fifth Element, which I think fits into (b). I've also had fun with films like The Matrix, but not as much as the others I mentioned, because I feel The Matrix is more comic-booky. And despite enjoying them to some extent before, now I don't really care at all for the Star Wars movies. They weren't Disney when they started making them, but they are very fairytale-ish, and soft sci-fi. Worlds removed from something like Planet of the Apes.
lmao , great interview
God bless you, ma'am.
Seconded. I hope she'll pull through this time of illness. She's a remarkable lady who has given sterling service to the nation for over 70 years.

If only Felix had spinach available.
Usmanov's (or officially his sister's) EUR 500m+ yacht Dilbar was towed from the dry dock at Blohm & Voss at Hamburg to a berth in Bremen yesterday, since B & V needed the dock for better purposes. It is still impounded under EU rules due to Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
