Thanks for the precis of Transformers, as forewarned is forearmed and I have a hot date with a ten-yo boy to see it next week. And the HP movie which I'm sure will do its best with the large amount it had to work with!
tell me when you're going to see HPV, I am totally there. still the best book in the series so hoping for a rockin' hot movie.
still the best book in the series
I thought HPV was the worst. I guess I'll have to reread the lot of them again to celebrate the the movie. Perhaps V will look better on the second read.
Which one was 5 again? I thought the first one was the best: it was the shortest, and the plot was unashamedly primarily about jumping chocolate frogs and odd-flavoured jellybeans.
And lemon sherberts and jacket potatoes.
I agree.
The movies just can't capture moments like that.
Last nights discussion on GeekSpeak (WoW guild channel) about Transformers went roughly like this:
"So basically, its a romantic comedy robot fight film."
"Not enough zombies though."
[insert roughly standard discussion about the critical lack of zombies in films today, and how we had proper zombies back when _I_ were a boy...]
"So what we need is a Romantic Robot Zombie Fight Comedy film; a RomRobZomCom."
"Actually, I think I know someone who would make that film..."
"Well I'd watch it."
"Me too!"
So there you have it - market research complete; somebody get to work.
HPV?
Ahh, you are all talking a MOVIE, not Human Papillomavirus.
With you now, carry on.
Taffs
yeah, definitely thought V was the best for me, apart from the teenage crankypant hystrionics - which were far, far worse in VI. V had action and all the good characters in it all together for jolly adventure time.
VI was crap. IV was overblown but made into a really decent movie. III was good cos of the introduction of interesting characters and gave good movie. I and II were sweet.
hoping for a lot better in VII, and I don't care who dies or gets maimed as long as there's a decent wrapup of all the loose ends. actually I guess I *do* mind who dies etc, because I reckon she is going to cop out and use magyckkkal ways of bringing most beloved characters back from the dead. cop out.
but I reckon HPV movie is going to rock.
Shaun of the Dead is a ZomRomCom.
Perhaps they could make Shaun of the Daed 2: Robots.....?
