Filmography and musings on time travel

I watched a film called Timeline last night, which James had kindly recorded for me. Has anyone seen or even heard of it

Oh, hm. I read the Crichton novel it was based on, I didn't know it had been adapted. The novel seemed pretty generic to me, I'm curious to see it worked fairly well as a film.

It was certainly colourful, and I think it gained a lot from being... let's say substantial. Everything was very chunky and 3D and the sound effects were good. I don't think it *was* directed by Ridley Scott, but it'd certainly learnt a lot from his style.

I didn't know it was a book first! I can imagine reading it might be more plodding that watching it.

P.S. I've been sitting on your email reply for over a week now. Just poke me or something :)

P.P.S. I'm working on my Christ's application at the moment, and the font they use is Trebuchet MS :)

LOL. Indeed, I commented when I saw Da Vince Code that an arguably vapid book often made an exciting, subtle film, so maybe I was right :)

*hugs* Always. Have you written anything? If so why not send that and write more later. How are you, other than applications?

Trebuchet MS :)

LOL. Probably more distinguished than "MS Rocket" :)

Whereas when I saw that film, I observed that it was remarkably true to the book.

whom some of us will always think of as Borias!

Not Khrafstar or Br'Nee then? Or even Celeborn?

[rochvelleth]

Goodness, I'd forgotten he was in Farscape! Yes, all of those too :)

And Dr. Thingy in Shortland Street and Guy de Lousignon in KoH as well.

I just found this quote from him on Borias:

I don't see Borias as being bad. I see him as a person who is loyal to his principles, with war being a part of his world. His fundamental motivation was derived from survival, principles of war, family, and even love, and the maintaining of a life beyond just running around killing people. So, in a way, he has quite an honest profession.
