nightscape94 965 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Getting to the Tower is the goal, but there are so many great characters, settings, adventures, and terrifically painted images by King's writing, that the story is so much more than a generic outline may imply. Every story has a MacGuffin, many of them similar, but how you fill in the landscape and how you go about the journey is what distinguishes the material.

Quintus 5,399 Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 This is a fun look back on movie hype and rabid fandom in the early days of the interne, well worth a read! Funny how nothing has really changed since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Quite. I liked the first Hellboy, but the second wasn't all that interesting to me. It killed whatever momentum the series had.

Naïve Old Fart 9,525 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Yes. BLACK SWAN was good. Not seen PI, or THE WRESTLER. NOAH took diabolical liberties with the Genesis story, but was entertaining, and proved that, if her life depended on her acting ability, poor old Emma Watson would lose it. The only thing that I remember about REQUIEM... is Ellen Burnstyn being menaced by a refrigerator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my problem with the second. It was more a skeleton of a story. Suddenly we have a telegram style of storytelling similar to some Harry Potter movies. A collection of scenes (with nothing that binds the scenes) designed to show off SFX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I wasn't implying that. I'm very aware that Depp is a very talented actor, especially when given the right roles.
