Saturday night, tired

Okay, before we start with the linkspam catch-up, I have a musical request. One of my top favorite songs ever, seriously ever, for reasons even I can't fully fathom, is the Divinyls' "Pleasure and Pain." Here is the original, 3:50 in length. Now, I have been looking for a long time for an extended version, which I did find (here's that one, 4:32 in ( Read more... )

stardust, harry potter, narnia, movies, neil gaiman, pirates of the caribbean, brokeback mountain, books, his dark materials, cloverfield, music, x-files, asshaberdashery

Oh god. Oh god.

That article by the screenwriter for The Dark is Rising is so very frustrating. That man is talking out of his ass. God. DO NOT WANT. ICON DOES NOT WANT EITHER.

What I find so interesting is that his idea of the story being about family, well... that's not all that crazy in and of itself. But it also doesn't explain all the severe, non-family-related moments of fail in that trailer. How'd that happen, pal?

It was the "Harry Potter is great. That many people can't be wrong." bit that had me rolling on the floor. Uh, remember this little thing called Nazi Germany? Were that many people right as well?

And Goodwin gets splattered all over the windshield five seconds after the debate cars have started the race. NOBODY saw this coming.

... Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking.

:sheepish grin: Er, yes, well, I do have better analogies than that.

Crap, no I don't. Regardless, that guy is talking out of his ass. I've only read The Grey King and Over Sea, Under Stone, and still. Do. Not. Want.
. . . maybe the Inheritance Trilogy is a parallel? But those books actually do suck . . .

*snicker* Yeah, Goodwin came to mind as I was typing but, well, it was midnight, and I didn't have any other good analogies on hand.

What I hate about the "family" bits is that he distorted the version that was in the book to something unrecognizable. It's not really an adaptation so much as a different story with the same character names and vaguely similar biographical details.

*Sigh* I'm really not going to have any excuse to see this movie aside from "But . . . but it's got Eccles!", am I?
