diabloblanco18 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 So they're doing Wizard's First Rule in 22 1 hour episodes? That seems a bit much, really. I could've seen it done in a 2 or 3 part mini series (probably 5-6 hours total). Are they really gonna pad this one out, or are they gonna do the first few books (so we can get to some of the much more hilarious moments of the series!). Oooh. If they do the second book as well, I'll get to see the horde of naked teenage boys! And Kahlan. She's nothing special, though; her clothes come off in public at least once per novel.

The Pita Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Klan enjoys flashing people. It is known. I'd like to welcome our new witty-named member, and say that Myshkin's namesake has one of the greatest monologues since A Feast for Crows (I choose life by completely ignoring publishing orders) Edit-And I'd like to present my title: Since I wear my long hair without a ponytail and my goatee is not a beard, I am Without a Ponytail and Beard. Also, my avatar has no ponytail or beard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry. Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Big Barbed Namble Cock - smell the ratings? Surely that would be for the "sweeps" season, right? Hrmm...haven't been thinking much about the Yeard recently - good or bad thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pita Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 It's bad because one needs comedy in his life. It's good because one does not want to think about the Yeard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry. Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 For comedy, I have many other sources, such as a simple remembrance of some of the students I've taught over the years Maybe one of these days I'll get around to writing a book about my experiences in the classroom. Maybe. Not now, though. But what I'm waiting for is for someone to do a Tairy/Dragonlance/Porn parody. Think about that...if you dare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, please, please tell me that is supposed to read Tairy/Dragonlance/Pern. On the other hand, the evil chick Tanis was with is pretty hot....

Jaxom 1974 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Cutter of Butter. At least he didn't declare himself the "Cutter of Cheese".

That's 19-20 hours of the programming right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, Tanis gets most of the chicks (Caramon and Tika are kinda like the extra stars who'd get their one spotlight scene, but otherwise it's all about Tanis). Tanis is the reluctant hero, just like Richard. Yeah. That's it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinDonner Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 So, you people who've read WFR, how would you split it up into 22 episodes? My knowledge of the book is sketchy, but I think it would be something like this: Episode 1 - the Odd Looking Vine Episode 2 - Kahlan's first Almost Rape scene Episode 3 - Zedd makes everyone's testicles disappear 4 - Michael tries to ban fire 5 - Michael continues his ban-fire speech 6 - Richard meets the Mud People, who won't eat red fruit 7 - Richard fixes their roof 8 - The bad guys! Darken and Deminn Nass cackle evilly. 9 - Kahlan tells Richard she can never have sex with him 10 - Richard captured! 11 - torture 12 - torture 13 - torture 14 - torture 15 - torture 16 - torture 17 - torture 18 - jaw-kicking escape! 19 - Boxes of Orden opened, Darken dies (or does he...?) 20 - Con Dar! Richard and Kahlan defeat the power of love by using the power of love. 21 - Speech about the Nobility of the Human Spirit 22 - Speech about rising up, living your life and being free. Did I miss anything? I would love it if every episode ended like Captain Planet, with Richard and Zedd giving earnest monologues to camera about What We've Learned Today. That would be so awesome.

Gold Storm Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 This would be perfect for Skinamax, you have Kahlan running around naked or in in a very tight dress, the Mord Sith in tight red leather who are also lesbians, and that one chick that every time she moves it looks like her boobs will pop out of her dress. For the ladies, you have Richard showing off his muscular chest every five minutes. This could be on the Adult PPV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wine-skin changer Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I thought the jaw kicking escape should be in the middle of all the torture, after all you forgot the denna/agiel-buggery scenes. 22 episodes though? if they do all of the books that's like...............way too many. ugh. fixing butter in a raptor gaze would not cause bread to butter itself, if it did, then there would be no excuse for gratuitous knife play.

Foreverlad Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 At first I assumed the writer strike would protect us from this abomination, but came to realize that no one in Hollywood could write this kind of crap anyway, so no rules will be broken. I'm hoping all the hype regarding the series will allude to "the next epic fantasy series" and "....in a world of magic and wonder". The studio will invest a fortune in production and Tairy, disgusted and angry over the misinterpretation, will pull the plug on the entire thing. HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU PEOPLE?!?!?!? IMPORTANT. HUMAN. THEMES. !!!!!! Because it's so important he share his wisdom with us, he'll end up doing a PBS special where, for 37 one hour episodes, he'll sit in a chair and read the entire book aloud. He will. Just wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would actually fit better, since it is essentially the cinematographic equivalent of Tairy's prose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry. Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Tairy wouldn't ever appear on PBS. That's publicly-funded programming that the government chips in with some dough. Government is teh evil to him. Faux News, however, might have a slot for him, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
