Re: OT: Movies I Have Seen Lately
seabiscut was nowhere near as depressing as the true story was. the jockey ended up as a shoe shining drunk, and i think the horse went to the glue factory. the real tale was a true tear jerker.
I liked the LotR movies alot, but the book was alot better. they most people will complain about things they left out, which is not so bad for me. things are bound to be missing, and the extended edditions fixed alot of the problems i had with them. what i dont like, are the parts they hammed up and spend to long playing out. too many long homoerotic scenes, too many long slow-motion scenes of frodo being injured (in every movie - which was okay, because he was sort of a ***** in the books too).
ah well.. it would be boring if it was a perfect world. the previews for that wierd rocket-man style 1930s sci-fi movie look REALLY COOL, and the trailers for hellboy and the sequel to pitch black (the original was poop) look entertaining, too.
