Movie Time

Aug 01, 2005 09:46

The first major movie I want to direct, is Hatchet. You know, that book by Gary Paulsen? In the series there's also Brian's Winter, and The River. The Chronicles of Narnia are already taken so I can't direct that, too bad. The trailor looks great, I have faith it whatever director is directing it. Anyways... I've been thinking about this a lot ( Read more... )

I never read Hatchet simply because everyone else did.

Did everyone else not like it, giving you reason not to read it? If they didn't...why deprive yourself of a good book?

But don't worry, I didn't really like the book that much. You didn't miss much.

Everyone likes the Harry Potter series, or at least close enough to everyone that I can be safe in making that generalization, yet I regret having read the three books of the series that I did. I guess I just have a problem being grouped in with the rest of society.

However there are actually more people who haven't read Harry Potter than have, so by not reading it, you group yourself with more of the rest of society.

Are you serious? One of your favorite movies? I don't mean to be an asshole here, but it wasn't that good at all.

SPOILER ALERT

Having the son meet them at the house at the end? That's the stupidest thing that I've ever seen. It was a corny cliched ending. Hell, the entire movie was cliched.

It had good special effects, a fairly engaging story, and some slightly above average performances going for it. That's it.

_mr__anonymous_ August 1 2005, 23:04:54 UTC

Yet it was based off a 107-year-old book, so maybe the other things you've seen stole scenes from it?

From what I understand the book and the movie have practically nothing in common; the characters are completely different.

I totally agree...Cruise is a good actor I'll give him that but most of the others weren't that good. It takes a good group of actors to make a movie, plus a director with great ideas and Spielburg seems to be running out of them.

Cruise is a good actor, but in real life he's inSAAAAAANE...

Scientology indeed.

I responded to everyone who has responded here!

_mr__anonymous_ August 1 2005, 23:06:00 UTC

Even myself!

daviecrocket August 2 2005, 00:27:54 UTC

Spielburg running out of ideas? Hahahahahahaha. That makes no sense to me.

Pete... yeah, I do agree that I wasn't so cool with Robbie returning at the end either. But the rest of the movie was great. For such little plot to work off of, they did a good job of expanding it and making it interesting.

First off if you ever even listened to the actual recording there was alot of plot to run off of that he didn't even use.
