it's legit one of the best RPGs of all time.

I'm not a Nolan fan but I really enjoyed Oppenheimer. Have seen it twice and I'll watch it again at some point down the line, provided I don't get hit by a bus.

Masters of the Air (new WWII AppleTV series) [SPOILERS]
Relic replied to Corvinus85's topic in Entertainment
It was in France, but yeah, that was probably the funniest bit out of the entire show. There HAVE been a bunch of missed opportunities, but I've mostly enjoyed this series. -
Not really tho? "I said, “The one way this could be done is by HBO.” Anyway, whatever Martin might have said at some point, clearly he changed his mind. Either way, the show runners took his work and made mince meat out of it, imho. Even S1 had its issues, but everything after that was a cheap imitation of a once great story. The fact that so many people liked what remained of it speaks more of Martin's genius than the showrunners. Once they ran out of his words they shat the bed completely. Perhaps that won't happen with 3BP, but trusting a complex story to these dorks is probably not a good bet. RE your question about epic works of +1000 pages being adapted, I can't really think of any that fit. Shorter books that i DID enjoy as films are The Godfather and No Country for Old Men. I've also quite enjoyed Justified, which was based on some Elmore Leonard novels. Liked a good chunk of The Expanse, didn't mind The Hunger Games.

I need to go back to this point before replying to your other questions Whoever said that aSoIaF was unadaptable? Where are you getting that from?

Leave the great Al Pacino out of your political statements. The man is presenting a fucking dumb award, not deciding whether to nuke china or not. The absolute gall. ::shakes head and storms out of thread

Yes, they successfully dumbed down an incredible complex story and made it digestible to the masses. If you think that's going to work with 3 Body Problem, well, good luck. I don't understand how anyone at all can blame GRRM for the failings of a show he had no control over. Ridiculous.

Why anyone would entrust another adaptation to these clowns is beyond me.

Dune part 2: the spoilers must flow (Spoilers for the movies)
Relic replied to Kalbear's topic in Entertainment
For sure that's her purpose in this movie, but it's sooo heavy handed. Makes all the other Freman look pretty stupid, too. -

Relic replied to Veltigar's topic in Entertainment
Was it bold, tho? Pretty convenient ending, allowing for all sorts of possible season 2 continuations, if there is a season 2. I found that ending pretty annoying, myself.
