The Searchers wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Probably need to watch more westerns though
I watched Wyatt Earp a few nights ago. Ugh, skip the 1st hour. Hoakey and stale. The rest is alright though. Dennis Quaid as Doc Halliday is the best aspect of the entire movie. Out of the park. Have Tombstone waiting to be watched too, as I want to see how both handle the same subkect matter.

Tombstone is awesome
Re: The Movie Thread - Black Aspen - 07-05-2010
The Road was everything I had hoped for it to be. Damn the fools that told me to not pursue it.

Re: The Movie Thread - Odin - 07-05-2010
Book was better IMO.
Re: The Movie Thread - Hobospartan - 07-05-2010
I liked the book, but couldn't finish it. I was really enjoying myself, but it was difficult to read, and when I was reading it I really wasn't in the proper mood, so I go about 75 pages in and quit. One day I'll be going back and finishing it.
The book IS better 99.9% of the time though
Re: The Movie Thread - exanimo2 - 07-05-2010
I hated the book, so I refused to watch the movie.

The only two exceptions i can think of are the Godfather and The Kid Stays in the Picture.
Man, the Godfather is such an awful book.
Oh, and i guess Lord of the Rings. it's not as though i think it's poorly written, i just can't dig the factual manner in which he writes.
Also, the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy radio series are better than the books that were based on them, but that is mostly because i don't have Peter Jones narrating in my head while reading the books.

Blasphemous cunts!
Slightly on topic though, the book actually became even better for me after having the imagery of the movies to use.

dude if you read the book youll understand how the movie's end was total shit and they completely cut some of the best parts out of the movie.
also the movie had a completely different feeling, and was a complete letdown. for me at least.

I disagree
I am currently reading the fellowship of the ring, and the problem with the book is that tolken normally doesn't talk about the scenery/imagery, and focuses mainly on the plot. Where as in the movie, they focus a lot on the scenery.
Re: The Movie Thread - Ianki - 07-05-2010
I saw Micmacs tonight.
![[Image: micmacs_a_tire-larigot.jpg]](http://criticalinstant.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/micmacs_a_tire-larigot.jpg)
Jean-Pierre Jeunet is one of my favorite directors and i had high hopes.
It's better than Amilee, holds water against Delicatessen, and falls short of City of Lost Children (no one can beat Ron Pearlman speaking french).
It's a great movie, filled with the whimsical and dreamy style that populates most of his movies while still retainin the dark undertones of his earlier movies. Give it a try.

a plot is a story, history has been passed down through the ages in stories, if it focuses on the plot.... ??? it reads like a history book

I was looking forward to seeing this, glad it is good. I haven't seen any of the other movies you mentioned. What order should I see them in?

City of Lost Children and Delicatessen i guess. Amelee is good, i guess. just a little too 'magical'.
Delicatessen is sitting on netflix instant just for ya.
