If I stay up much longer I'm going to start looking for breakfast.

Too many Heffelumps and Woozels for my taste.

A) Everyone who has ever read those books envisions the characters differently. Even though this is the case you are upset because someone doesn't envision them the same way you do?

B) You are already writting off a movie that has been filming for less than a month? Feel free to hate movies when they are out or at least when we start seeing some reviews, but I don't get dumping on something before you even see anything outside of one person's vision of characters from the book.

Example: I read the book "Silence of the Lambs". When photos of Hannibal's character were released he looked nothing like the description in the book. Still, as it turned out, I prefer the movie version.

I've read War and Peace, I've read much Dostoyevski, I've read Freud and Jung in translation, I've read some pretty dry spy novels... but I could never get through Lord of the Rings.

Thought the movies were great though. Glad he's ruining another book for my sake!

As if there was ever a "BAD" episode of Xena. Haven you crazy!

Um . . . . . . . .WRONG!

Best Response Award

You've taken the raw material that I gave you and you ran with it nicely.

I smiled.

I REPped.

We all went home happy.

Anyone looking for a MODOK? I've got one for trade.

All joking aside I actually miss "The Action Pack" on WGN or whatever channel it was that aired it. Hercules, Xena, Jack of All Trades were some fun shows among some of the others.

Dude, you could have had a little fun.

But if you want to be serious:

I'm not going to bother writing the same stuff repeatedly. If you've ever seen me post about "The Turd Sandwich Effect" before, just reference that.

Seriously! I have more proof that this will suck than just about any other movie that I've judged from long-distance. I have the previous films, now I have a stupid name-change, and I've got Anime HAIR! It doesn't take Nostra-freakin'-Domus to smell this one coming.

I expect this will be as much of a let down as Green Lantern, and I called that one when I saw the costume designs.

I also called:

Green Hornet
Rise of Cobra
Transformers (take your pick)
Pirates

I called these "films" when they were announced, or when I saw character designs, or when I saw the sneak peek trailers.

It doesn't take a genius. Hollywood's making a film based off some old property because they've run out of ideas? It'll probably suck. They've decided to poop on the source material and take it in a different direction with comedy or character design? It'll more than probably suck.

Wade said it best: Gandalf the Pink

Please tell me that if you found out that they were actually doing Gandalf the Pink that any one of you guys would also be able to tell that the movie would suck!

You can site examples of books that weren't as good as the movie based on them. You can bash Tolkien's writing style. You can put me down as being prejudicial and not having an open mind. It doesn't change the fact that Gandalf the Pink would make the WHOLE movie suck. Sometimes little things can tell you a lot about something.

Agreed. I noticed that Encore has been airing some of the 2-hour Hercules episodes as movies lately.

To some extent, I miss them as well.

They were ridiculous, though. Ridiculous fun, don't get me wrong. Just yesterday I was, oddly, thinking about Xena fight scenes where she knocks out warriors by running over their faces and stuff. But I'd still like to see those in reruns somewhere.

I wouldn't be watching every night or anything, but I'd still watch an episode or two when the opportunity presented itself.

So... I'm thinking Ford Fiesta. Thoughts?

Agreed that Gandalf the Pink would probably cause me to buy a plane ticket solely to personally slap Jackson.

Still, your earlier post comes across like you were just itching to rip on it purely because the movie will exist. I don't agree with the anime hair comment. The one that most people are upset with is the star shaped one. If you look at it closely you can tell that it is a hat that the character is wearing.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Ford products: RUN!

It's been a long time since I was in Repo. It's been a long time since I worked in a body shop. But if the nineties and the number of Fords that I owned or drove were any indication, you want to stay away from them.

The Fiesta's a four-banger, right?

I'm betting that the whole thing is not made to last.

Of course, things may have changed at Ford, but I doubt it.
