Is that sarcasm? ;-)

I:Robot had a few of the ideas from the books, but wasn't really anything like it. I laughed when I saw that they are selling Asimov's book with Will Smith on the cover. Running Man was almost entirely different from the Stephen King book. Both very enjoyable films, but different from the books. Maybe I could think of more examples if I tried. Agreed, probably none would be on the same level as Super Mario Bros The Movie. The thing is that you sometimes get films that end up better than the books - but I don't think that's happened with a game yet.

I'm interested - what are Arts No's 1 - 6? Presumably, painting, sculpture and music are there near the top?
