I don't generally like films of books
yet I must have a massive streak of optimism hidden somewhere since I still watch them in hope

I was gutted when I went to see Eragon as a movie.
it just murdered the books.

this.
It was so crappy.

I know!
Also - I read the twilight series long before it got so cliche'd and the movies came out. The movies nearly made me burn the books.

I dunno
I thought the film was better than the book. But then I really dislike the books
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 27 Jul 2010, 11:00, Reply)

Nah I read them a couple of years ago.
loved them. then the movies came out and wrecked it all.

I would agree with you one hundred percent
but the films have introduced me to the wonder that is Nikki Reed. Apart from that the films suck balls.

so many things have been ruined
but the biggest travesty is I,Robot. Watched the first ten minutes and vowed never to watch the rest. Crying shame that.

They just took the tittle
and the idea of the 3 laws, but made a new story out of it. Nothing to do with Asimov.

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 27 Jul 2010, 10:59, Reply)

Did you know that the cast and crew of that film lined up at Isac Asimovs grave
and took turns pissing all over it?
( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Tue 27 Jul 2010, 10:59, Reply)

I didn't
But it doesn't surprise me.

Did the producers poo on it as well?

They did, they smeared it all over his gravestone
then they all had a dance on top of his grave. I think it was "The Macarena"

Poor guy
I wish he had woken up as a zombie and eaten their brains before they made the film.

I'd watch it

Can't be worse than "Mega Shark V's Giant Octopus"

do not speak ill of the MEGA SHARK V GIANT OCTOPUS!

Watch Black Sheep
If you want a bad-but-awesome horror film.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 27 Jul 2010, 11:21, Reply)

if you want a plain bad one
watch Aquanoids
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 27 Jul 2010, 11:22, Reply)

I've given up on "so bad they're good" horror films
after I sat through a film about giant killer mosquitos, and then realised that I had seen it before.

I took a long hard look at my life after that.

I didn't know there was a book?
who's it by??
(Poppet some assembly required., Tue 27 Jul 2010, 10:59, Reply)

/cries
it was a collection of short stories by Isaac Asimov. The story the film is very loosely based on was much much better

I know where you can get an ebook of it, if you want. Very good reading

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 27 Jul 2010, 11:08, Reply)

I hope you at least know Asimov
as he's the best SciFi writer ever.

Have you heard of Fundation?
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 27 Jul 2010, 11:04, Reply)

I've heard OF him, but never read anything of his.

(Poppet some assembly required., Tue 27 Jul 2010, 11:05, Reply)

I see
He's really good. Well, the stories are, he, as a writer... not so much...

Fundation might be a bit too much to start, but I, Robot is a really nice collection of stories, very much worth reading.

my dad gave me the Foundation series when I was seven or eight, and it was the first book to interest me in sci-fi

It wast the worst film ever
I fall asleep half way trough. Really dissapointing, considering how much I had enjoyed the book.

( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Tue 27 Jul 2010, 11:06, Reply)

Ha! There's product placement...
...and then there's stopping the film to advertise trainers.

Probably worse than the bit in Minority Report where they stop the film to go shopping at GAP and stop to look at a Guiness advert.

What?
Are we still talking about Eragon?
