Haven't had it in two months. Thinking about changing that cuz the excess alcohol consumption is much worse.
Definitely agree about the book. I remember reading it back in the 80's. I could hardly put it down. I'd even dream I was reading it, it captured my imagination that much. And I think that is the hardest part of translating it to the big screen. We all imagine it differently. David Lynch's vision of the book definitely did not line up with how I had imagined the characters and settings.
Internet high five!
I consider "Dune" maybe the best Sci-fi book ever. No way it touches HG Wells achievments (sp) because he did his best work in the late 1800's
2 comments. Totally agree about the enthralled reading both "Dune" and LOTR". I thought Lynch's Dune was as perfect as you may ever get pre-CGI. Adhered to the book down to the "Water of life" scenes . Had to take shortcuts from the novel, of course. In the book, the stillsuits cover the entire body, including the face. Not happening in a movie where you have to see the actors faces to see who is who.nerd_alert wrote: ↑Sun Jul 14, 2019 8:29 amDefinitely agree about the book. I remember reading it back in the 80's.

Same will the LoTR books. So full of characters and settings, I recall being enthralled while reading the books. I think it had been long enough between when I read the books and when the movies came out, I didn't have as strong feelings about youhave missing characters and events from the books.

So I figured it must be pretty good. I don't even remember the name. The plot of the movie was some fur trader in the 1820's that was part of a group of trappers and DiCaprio's character got attacked by a bear. Some other trapper decided to leave him to die and killed his son and took their shit and left DiCaprio to die.
I fucking hated this movie, although i watched it all the way to the end (and it was pretty long). There was almost no dialogue and there were virtually no good moments. The only upside i could give were that the indians seemed to be cast appropriately.
Pity Oscar.

He got an oscar for that? Seriously, there must have been maybe 10 lines that he spoke. 2 of which you could understand.Reservoir Dog wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2019 12:17 amPity Oscar.

Yep. It been a trend in movies and TV for awhile now: just mumble your words or speak really softly and it supposedly adds "gritty realism". Fuck that. Is it too much to ask that I can hear or understand what the characters I'm watching say?Flumper wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2019 4:58 pmHe got an oscar for that?
