While reading Arthur_C. Clarke's page on Wonkypedia, I bumped into this info:
"In 1994, Clarke appeared in a science fiction film; he portrayed himself in the telefilm Without Warning, an American production about an apocalyptic alien first contact scenario presented in the form of a faux newscast."
So I was curious to check out said telefilm. It turns out to be the crummiest crap of all times - it's so pathetically lame it's almost funny. But my point is: for Arthur C. Clarke to participate in this utter trash tells me all I need to know about the man.
Arthur C. Clarke is featured at 44min25secs into "Without Warning"... Enjoy.
