Jay 37,373 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I don't read enough to have any kind of interesting answer to that The only books I've really read since fifth grade are the Harry Potters, Chuck Palahniuk's first eight novels, and Ender's Game, Speaker For The Dead, and Ender's Shadow. I'd love to find time to read more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dune is an amazing book. I enjoy reading it every two years or so. The sequels get a little weird, but God Emperor is really good, and I am fond of Miles Teg.

Always a treat to hear from Marty but I think more so on this one than any others. Like you, I love the book and it's difficult to imagine this adaptation being anything less than exemplary...can't wait to finally see it and for him to begin talking about it in earnest.

They better do a good job. The problem with the first one is that it makes no sense unless you already know what's going on. The Sci-fi miniseries was alright I guess, but I didn't particularly like the casting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 And the bombshell from the poster is that this does have an original score....not by Howard Shore.

Wojo 2,453 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 The TV series retconned the ending of the first film. The film sequels play fast and loose with continuity, and even contradict the first film. I only ever saw the original movie. Nothing I read about the sequels made me interested to seek them out.

Quintus 5,399 Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 I never did catch the Highlander bug. It became this big cult at the time didn't it. I've seen the original only, and it is enjoyable enough. But camp as heck, and so it's difficult for me to take to seriously (as its lore fans clearly did). How can a movie with a Queen soundtrack be anything other than camp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 The original film is an 80's cult classic. The second film is truly awful. The third one is redundant. The TV show was ok. I used to watch it for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can a movie with a Queen soundtrack be anything other than camp? More like a small cult, Lee. I saw this in London, in September, 1986. I loved every frame of it then, and I love every frame of it now. Yeah, the songs are camp (A DOZEN RED ROSES FOR MY DARLING/NEW YORK, NEW YORK is brilliant!) and Michael Kamen's score is top notch. Stick on the beautiful- looking 4K Blu-ray, and wallow in a true kitch classic. Steef is right about the sequels, but I have yet to see the "renegade" cut of H2.
