I'll cop to being one of the purists with regard to Eowyn's big dramatic revelation
Sigh, yes. They would have had time if they'd dumped some of Arwen's stuff t still not over my Arwen issues
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The most faithful book-to-movie adaptation I've ever seen is Battlefield Earth. Watching the film was exactly like reading the book.

Reading the book makes you feel horrifically embarrassed for Forest Whitaker?

I just saw The Dark Knight. I thought it was okay, but I wish I'd seen it sooner, so I wouldn't have had so much build-up time. It was neither as dark or as powerful as I had been led to believe. I'm going back to read the white-font.

Reading that book made me feel horribly embarrassed for all humanity, and therefore by extension, Forrest Whitaker.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
quester, I was coming in here to post just about the same thing. I thought there were too many explosions and not nearly enough plot. I thought the first one was far superior.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm watching Shoot 'Em Up on Cinemax. What a silly, silly film! It's fucking hilarious! Clive Owen just killed someone with a carrot!

sj, I agree about the plot! I just seemed prefunctory. There was not enough character development to justify the characters actions. I think that Maggie G is a good actress but she didn't have the right energy or chemistry or something for the role.

That makes two of us. Except I kinda do get the love. I just don't share it.
