sry, no. they're utter crap.
I thought the original was utter and compleat crap.

In waht way are the sci-Fi ones crap?

I would like to know also. I thought the Sci-Fi movies were much better.

the good - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087182/
the bad - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0142032/
and the long-forgotten - http://www.duneinfo.com/unseen/timeline.asp

Okay, so in what way are they crap?

The people reviewing seem to agree with me...

Post by **Pext** » Mon Jun 13, 2005 1:41 am

the miniseries is crap because it feels like a well budgeted xena episode.

david lynchs movie on the other hand is a masterpiece.
you have to understand that it's not a 1:1 adaption of a movie like lotr - it's a film, that takes herberts ideas as a base for itself and builds it's own world.
of course, not everything is resolved and explained just like in every other lynch movie. but if you want things simple, you can still watch xena.

it's cheap literature vs. art

Yeah, I somehow didn't feel the Xena vibe the whole time i was watching it....

I thought Xena was cheesy.

I thought Dune was quite good....

Hannibal wrote:Revenge of the Shit-Tith: 4.5/10. In some ways this movie felt even more incoherent than Ep. 1 and 2...it certainly was just as bloodless if not more so. Lucas is simply out of his depth where human beings are concerned. Some nice SFX sequences can't disguise the general turd-hood of the film. Disappointing.

I wanted to watch it this weekend, cos some people told me that THIS part would be much better, but then I found this:

- and now your 4.5 ... don't think I'm gonna watch it anymore.

Haha

Meh, my degree means shit right now. Now I have to try and actually learn coding stuff on my own because I don't know where else I'll go with it. I didn't apply myself at all (and it's not because of quake heh)

I wanna go back to school and get a better math background, go into forestry or natural resources management or something.

You still on the same path you were? You're light-years ahead of me man, believe me. Keep it up

So I just bought Unforgiven, Interview with the Vampire, Mystic River, and The Last Samurai for $20. I still haven't seen Unforgiven (yea yea I know), and the other three are good movies to own.

I liked Unforgiven pretty well.

Yeah, I added Math as a second major, still doing EE. The end is in sight, about 2 years to go, then it's grad school for my master's in EE. Although, I'm getting a lot more interested in the math side of my education, so I may end up doing the MS in that. Don't know.

You must really love playing computer games if you got a degree in computers :lol:

Post by **Duhard** » Mon Jun 13, 2005 2:53 am

I just rented Seed of Chucky...gonna watch it soon.

Post by **StarShrieker** » Mon Jun 13, 2005 4:51 am

actually, the thing is, I really don't enjoy computer games much, and it shows.

Hmm, should I even bother watching the newest Chucky movies? I can stand dumb movies once in awhile but seriously...

My math knowledge has dwindled of late; I'd really like to change that.

I went to see it precisely because a few friends told me it was better than 1 and 2. They were wrong. The 4.5 was overly generous...and Maddox is exactly right.

did you not see sin city?

but seriously, i doubt batman begins is any better than the Burton's Batman. i mean, christian bale is quite a dork and that ben affleck-y "does it come in black?" is really fucking homosexual

Don't you fucking say a thing about christian bale like that, or I'll kill you.

I would have to agree with feedback. Bale is fucking awesome in everything. EVERYTHING.

i'd venture to say that that is not a good review.
