Robot Jox novelization request

Probably a good book, I remember Haldeman saying his screenplay was hard science fiction, and he didnt like the movie because it was like a cartoon compared to his screenplay

I recall hearing him say something similar.

I think it was less that it was "hard sci-fi" and more that the director wanted a cartoony movie and Haldeman imagined a more serious and daramatic story. There was a lot of back-and-forth conflict between the two of them.

He talks about it (and a lot of other things) here (just ctrl+f "Robot Jox"):

>Stuart pinpointed what we'd been doing wrong. He said, "Joe, our problem is that you're writing a movie for adults that children can enjoy, but I'm directing a movie for children that adults can enjoy!"

>It shows in the movie, oil and water. Some people enjoy it, but to me it's as if I'd had a child who started out well and then sustained brain damage. Most of the scenes that I worked on with Gary and Anne-Marie look like a normal movie; many of the others look painfully cartoonish.

I actually just finished rewatching this movie on a whim about an hour ago. You can REALLY tell where two opposing outlooks clash in the movie. The beginning has some really serious and dramatic sci-fi moments that give way to more and more jilted Saturday morning cartoonery. Stuff really comes to a head with the sex/romance stuff - you can tell who had a bigger influence in each scene, especially if you're familiar with how Haldeman normally handles those themes, compared to the low-brow Hollywood cliches. And the ending is pure Haldeman.

Wasn't there a /m/ archivist fella who used to post links for obscure /m/ books?
I couldn't find any of links
Any kind anon has it? I remember the only one I had downloaded was O'Neill's high frontier - the book about space colony.

I don't think I've seen ebooks of Robot Jox but I might be wrong.

I'd like to see an ebook of Robot Commander, that choose-your-adventure-ish thing Steve Jackson made as the universe cooled. I've seen pics of a moonrune version.

I tried the desuarchieves but of seems they were purged like a portion of 2014 posts are.
