The sad thing is for me, is that I tend to view "horror/ripper" flicks as comedies. I watch them (when and if I watch them) to find interesting special effects, and the odd goofy stupid antics of the characters. It's sad, because that is everything that the genre is NOT about. . .

Alfred Hitchcock, that's a man I respect. That and the creators of the Twilight Zone (Not scary, but damn good acting, and storytelling. . . Draws you in.)

You and me and a ton of other people these day.

stephen spielrberg...well he had good and bad movies. Let's not forget about AI and Jurassic Park 2

[Gabriel]

You just didn't like JP2 because they put in the little black girl and took out the camelion dino's. But I still have to agree with you, Jester, everyone has crappy movies, even Speilburg. I mean, has anyone here actually seen War of the Worlds? That movie sucked dick on toast.

Yeah, I saw it.  I liked the old fifties version better even though it wasn't as close to the book.

Ah Gabe, as always, your eloquence and masterfull vocabulary astonish me.

THe creator of the Twilight Zone was Rod Serling.  There's a man who knew the freaky nature of things, probably was weaned on Chthulu milk.

Now ROOTless, you know that sometimes when making a point, you use a stilletto, and sometimes you use a nuke. I'm thinking that rated a bazooka.

Well my profound apologies then, and might I perhaps ask what you felt I did wrong?

[Jester]

lol, thast quote you used was mine

[kv]

Well, when you fault Jurassic Park II, you have to fault Micheal Crichton (however you spell his name- I'm sick and don't feel like looking it up).

I mean, at the end of the first Jurassic Park book, Hammond and Malcom die. They talk about shipping thier corpses back to the US for burial.

In the second book, magically they're ALIVE AGAIN! And then they rehash the same plot from the first book, with slightly different characters. Hell, the kids even had the same interests- the boy liked dinosaurs, and the girl liked computers.

I figure the second book was mostly a rehashing of the first movie.

So how do you make a good version of a sequel to a book that was kind of crappy to begin with?

As for AI, it was good, just... really long. I didn't get it, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a beautiful movie.

I never said Jurrasic Park 2 the book was good or bad. I just said the movie sucked and never should have been made. But, now that you mention it the book was kinda poo also. And I have no idea how anyone could have liked AI. It was friggen pinoceo that was 3 hours long. Worst movie I've ever seen

[Gabriel]

Um, nothing. I was just continuing the conversation. Didn't mean that as a smack-down or anything. Sorry if it read that way.

Gabriel

[ROOTless]

Oh, sorry, I do seem to have forgotten to put in the <sarcasm></sarcasm>-tags on that one...
