  1. In Topic: Dune Remake

    Oh yeah, Snyder's movie part one was bad. I will see the second in maybe a month and likely think it's even worse.

  2. In Topic: Dune Remake

    I've seen the movie. It's pretty good, yet "a deeply Maghreb/Pan African and Islamic story has a visual representation that is not only non-Islamic, there's vanishingly small Maghreb/Pan African representation in the major roles" still applies.

    I thought the beauty and the odd techno-feudalism was well displayed. The acting was all pretty good. The depiction of the plan that Paul sees is a bit rushed and the impact of what he will do isn't shown enough with the 8 people collapsing of starvation scene that got replayed. Upon further considerations, compression of the timeline from years to maybe 7 months was a bad idea. It gives Chani and Jessica less time together, Alia no time, and makes it so the Fremen accept as their own two complete strangers in less than 6 months. That did a disservice to everyone. A cat and mouse game for years would have been better.

    I also think the Emperor coming with the might of the Sardaukar should have been shown a bit more than occupying one sand plain outside one city. Have it encompass the entire planet and start attacks on sietchs - show us the risk the Fremen took with the decapitation strike.

  3. In Topic: Whats making you happy right now

    Mate, having fun doing it, not getting injured, getting healthier, and seeing different places is all worth it. Speed pales in comparison to all that and more.

    Way to go, HD and TS!

  4. In Topic: Four new Black Company books?

    18 April 2024 - 06:05 PM

    I loved the weird. Port of Shadows was a disappointing book because it didn't bring much in a new way to an already skipped over in main continuity story.

    Cook has said a bunch of things about his writing over the decades and I'm at a point where I would love to read these books, yet I don't fully believe that they exist.

    I kind of don't fully believe this.

    I love how well you write in discussions. It's like a far more articulate version of me saying things I want to say.

    I needed an excuse to change my profile status so I used it to respond to your incredulity that I am still alive.

    Um, the NEW SANDMAN trades have the Absolute -recolouring-...but the older trades don't. You can see a comparison here at the link below and personally I think it's staggeringly different for tonal value of the panels. http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/09/23/absolute-sandman-recoloring/

    Oh, and cheers for calling me out on the pics on the election thread, I have a bad habit of not registering if a thread's in Discussion or not but I will cut down on the no content posts there.

    heh, sorry, didn't mean to make it look like you were resentful of my presence or anything. I just felt most comfortable approaching you about it. As QT mentioned there are others who feel the same as him. I'll still be around, but I'm just saying I wouldn't be offended. :p

    By the way, if you guys want to have a Terez-free WoT thread, I wouldn't object to that. To be honest, I probably won't be discussing WoT online much longer anyway. It's not good for me. ;) I'm told some people feel like they have to defend a dissertation to discuss WoT with me. Not true, really, but I get it.
