Movies

Speaking from the perspective to only read the series of books after the movie, I must say that I found the movie quite good.

But, I can understand how it could be disappointing for fans who read all the books first.  I still found the use of the voice attivated guns, stupid, and really should not be in the moive.  The Fremen fought primary with Kris Knifes and martial arts, not by yelling at them loudly.

Next Installment In Delta House's '"This Movie Is So Bad Only An Omega Could Make, Finance, Or Want To See It" --Abe Lincoln, Vampire Hunter DTXbro Jun 17, 13:41

oh come on, it could be the greatest comedy of the year. I laugh just thinking about it. {nm} jwammo Jun 17, 13:52

I shorted it at $121.11, whether it's a good movie or not, a $45m opening was just never happening. {nm} austpow Jun 17, 14:26

This seems so harsh, considering that it's source material is a NY Times bestseller thats gotten 'decent', if not perfect, reviews {nm} whitewalls Jun 17, 14:32

Hmm, a movie that flopped based on a popular book? Can we say, "Dune"? (Though I personally liked it.) {nm} elchan Jun 17, 15:40

I didn't say it wasn't going to flop (it is). I just think that assuming there isn't a market for it at all, or that it was cooked up... whitewalls Jun 17, 16:27

I think Delta House is trying to be funny, and that usually involves taking on extreme opinions. ;-) I found the post quite amusing. {nm} elchan Jun 17, 18:14

There was some effort to leaven the despair with humor, but the criticisms of the makers, movies, and audience are sincere.{nm} DTXbro Jun 17, 19:15

Of course, I didn't mean that I found the analysis funny, just the way it was told. ;-) {nm} elchan Jun 18, 08:32

You know...I like some Lynch...Wild At Heart is in my top ten favorite films...but his Dune adaptation was appalling. Of course, since I can Catzan Jun 17, 19:30

What were the posts about Blair Witch Project like? I agree that Abe:VH isn't any logical premise, but there's always that fringe chance... {nm} arf Jun 17, 22:00
