1/27 Star Wars : Special Edition FIVE DAYS AND COUNTING
Let's reclaim the #1 spot from crap like ID4, Jurassic Park and etc.
\_ Jurassic Park wasn't bad. Nice dino's, plot that almost followed
the book, a few semi-decent actors, and a lawyer gets eaten by
a big dino. What more could you want?
\_ Can you say "deus ex machina"? - android
\_ A plot that almost follows the book.. Are you nuts?? Did you
*read* the book?
\_ Yes I read the book. I read it long before they made
a movie out of it. It was a reasonable movie adaptation
of the book. Maybe you preferred Dune or 1984's versions
of their respective movies?
\_ I thought Dune was a much better adaptation.. It didn't
fundamentally alter the ending of the book, or who died,
who lived, who did what, etc.. And most of all, it
*never* inserted the quote "This is a UNIX system!
I know this!!"
\_ And if you did, why would you consider following the book
to be a good thing? But anyway, dollar revenues are a
terrible indicator of movie popularity; movies didn't cost
$7.50 in 1977.
\_ I wasn't talking about revenues. I *liked*
J.P.. I don't give a shit what the public
thinks about it or how many tickets it sold.
\_ nor were there as many theatres.
\_ Where do you buy tickets ahead of time? |
