12/21 Yet another Philip K. Dick story going to the big screen!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338337
Too bad it's Ben Afleck.
\_ Old news. How about Ray Bradbury and "A Sound of Thunder"
and remake of "Farenheit 451"?
\_ Ooooh. That's one of my favorite short stories. I hope they don't
screw it up.
\_ It's being turned into a movie. Of course they'll ruin it.
\_ Yeah, just like Lord of the Rings
</sarcasm>
\_ LotR went out with a wimper. No sarcasm. It was lame
after all that to squirm in my seat waiting for the
closing credits.
\_ Apparently the "true Tolkien fans" would have only
been happy with a word-for-word 36 hour miniseries.
\_ Two words. Darth Faramir.
\_ Flying Flaming Denethor!
\_ Forest for the trees, eh guys?
\_ Don't even get me started on the trees.
\_ What, you mean how a slightly-less-than-average
intellectually endowed hobbit outsmarted the
oldest being in Middle Earth?
\_ Nah, I mean, how the stays on Elrond's
corset were completely realistic, and
how any true fan of Tolkien could tell
that he was speaking Sindarin with an
Telerin accent.... Whaddya mean, it's
just a movie?
\_ Pfft. Any Tolkien fan would know that
Elrond would not speak with a Telerin
accent, being the son of a Noldo.
Legolas, on the other hand, would.

\_ Seen the marketing for "I, Robot" yet? Looks like they've turned
Asimov's clever little short story collection into a dumb Will
Smith action vehicle. |

| www.imdb.com/title/tt0338337 -> www.imdb.com/title/tt0338337/ There were a multitude of posters bombarding me as I walked out of the theater. Both of these movies looked completely asinine although the blonde in The Girl Next Door looked hot. So seeing these posters after having been bombarded by the brain dead flick Paycheck revealed the future to me: Hollywood makes the majority of their movies as stupid as possible and there is nothing in the world I can do about it. Actually, there is only one thing I can do about it and thats stop going to the movies. But its movies like Paycheck that give me a harsh reminder of what mainstream Hollywood has in store for me now and until the end of time: One lame brained flick after another. Oh sure, I know Hollywood makes most of their product for teenagers but do their movies have to be this idiotic? Paycheck is the story of Ben Affleck on the run with the greatest envelope in the world. Why did he kick the bullets at the third subway wire instead of shooting the guy?
