Oh my God, KING KONG was truly fabulous.

I feel like I cheated them -- I certainly got more than my price-of-a-ticket's worth.  The big movie to end all big movies.

Seriously, excellent film.  I actually fell in love with the gorilla -- and Naomi Watts was pretty fine, too.

Just full of amazing action sequences, but the emotional stuff is what made it such a fine movie.  Trifle long, but who's complaining, when you compare it to the other arid fare that costs the same amount and takes a little less time to see.

Stop it, I'm going to have to wait for the DVD and watch it on our tiny 7ft screen.

So here is the question: Does the theme of Christianity remain strongly throughout the entire trilogy?

apart from the mystic visions (turning wheel, dreams which reminded me of german mystics Jacob Böhme or Angelus Silesius) it is especially two central christian themes (in my opinion) which pervade the entire story - don´t want to spoil it for you, since i don´t know how much is already in The Dragonbone Chair. especially the last 50 or so pages of the final volume still give me the impression that MS&T has a lot of christian spirituality in it, which has not necessarily something to do with the somewhat ostensible aedonite faith.

No, cos you'll still have a 7ft screen and I'll still be stuck with the tiny thing I've got now.

Granted, it was free, so I can't complain too loudly. *g*

*coughs*

You really do not want to know how I read that from Active Topics, out of context.

*rofl*

Of course in RL I'm shy and retiring, maybe some compensation going on?

everybody play the KK video game. tad included. make conner play it.

*dryes herself with towel*
thx ^^

thanks for answering my question ^^

mmh.. just three more days!!!
I'm totally exited. But the better part of Christmas are the holidays. Maybe 'cause I developed a special hate toward school -_-..

Tad, are you happier with how Shadowmarch turned out then it would have if the Sci-Fi channel would've went through with it?

So that's what LeGuin's been up to lately...

I don't know.  But if the Sci-Fi channel had done it, I'd have more money, so I'd be able to console myself with lots of drugs and cheap sex and foreign sports cars.

Well from what I've seen of your digs you're not exactly hurtin for money, I don't reccomend drugs (for anybody), you already get free sex (And with a looker to boot!) and there are many perfectly good American Sports Cars...8)...and probably a lot cheaper too...8)

Also, if I might ask: If Peter Jackson were to make another movie based off something - discluding The Hobbit, because I'm fairly certain I heard that it was his next project, and if I'm wrong and he is already making a different movie, disclude that one too (lol) - what would you want it to be Tad? In general, there are many movies I would want to see made, but I'll name three because I know Jackson would do a great job. The order has nothing to do with preference.

1.Lost in Space: This time, what the show actually deserved

2.Legend: an adaptation to David Gemmel's book. I know his Drenai series are pretty much the same rehashed formual, but you have to admit - the battle scenes for a movie would be fantastic.

3.Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever, Trilogy #1: and that would be Lord Foul's Bane, The Illearth War, and The Power that Preserves. One of the greatest fantasy trilogies ever, not just fantasy trilogies, mind you. It would be dark though, and if you haven't read the books, I won't tell you why because of spoilers and because of people that might not be mature enough to hear it.

Tad, thanks for reading that long bit. Also, I would love to see any of your books into a movie, but I would say too that I'm not sure if anyone could take on such a challenge or is worthy, because your books are perfect.

Happy Holidays, Tad and family.
