Larry. Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Well, a couple of myasterisk-related things: 1. That link I posted the other day seems to have been taken down. I guess he posted before the Great Tairy was ready and he had to yank it. Hrmm.... 2. [url="http://www.terrygoodkind.net/SFX171.wfr_interview.pdf"]It's like a detective novel [/url]- it's all about solving problems (and women using their morally clear breasts to display nobility).

The Pita Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Kahlan does Dallas! EDIT- I just read the link. They're making Underworld 3? After how bad 2 was? (except for that scene in the shed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anatole Kuragin Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Underworld 2 was bad? Maybe you didn't notice there were vampires in it, so I won't flame you. May you all be blessed with a thousand ponytails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosicus Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Yeah, we've heard that "detective" bit before in one of his nonsensical rants. It's actually more like a detective story where the detective carries a gun and shoots everybody he meets (and later justifies it with some shaky logic). The story isn't about the gun, but without the gun you don't have any story at all. I do giggle whenever Tairy says it's about "characters". He should try developing one someday.

Moosicus Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Aemon Stark posted [url="http://www.nationalreview.com/flashback/flashback200501050715.asp"]this[/url] in the Tomatoes thread, and I thought I'd drag it over here in case anybody missed it. I've never read any Rand, and I doubt I will, since after reading this old review it seems that Tairy might be far closer to her than I'd previously imagined.

Ayn Rand has never worked in anything other than paragons and caricatures. That was a large target of ire for me when we had to read Anthem in high school. Thankfully the experience saved me from ever picking up any of her other books on virtue of their art deco covers alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxom 1974 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 So now it's not fantasy, it's a freakin' detective novel? WTF? Make up your mind, man! Geez. And it's all about the priorities for you eh, Pita? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elrostar Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I feel that there's a fundamental flaw with Underworld 3. I mean, the basic concept of Underworld was, let's cut right to the chase, Kate Beckinsale. As a vampire. In tight leather and pleather. Looking [i]hot[/i]. I vaguely understand that there was some other content in the movies as well, but I believe that my points above really capture the essence of it? Surely, she was the point. And she made for a couple of very entertaining movies, I might add. How is this third movie going to work without Kate Beckinsale? It seems to be missing the point, yes?

Jaxom 1974 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hey, my previous question still stands: Literay discussion forums where one might go to see what the non-SFF reading world thinks of the impending TG novels. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 [quote name='Marko Triskelic' post='1416425' date='Jun 26 2008, 11.40']Jaxom - The beauty here is that such a place doesn't exist. Tairy, despite emphatic claims to the contrary, is [i]such[/i] a SFF writer, that he would never be discussed anywhere else.[/quote] Oh I'd think that there has to be some forum somewhere where the declaration of a "major" author recieving a "major" sum of cash (Loonies or otherwise) to write the next great thing would be worthy of some sort of mention. Crossover or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyria Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Ok, I'm going to ask what will probably seem like a reaaally dumb question, but why does everyone call TG Tairy? I see it all the time, and I was just curious. The other thread with the .net folks is the only Goodkind thread I've ever read. I just finished it, and I think my eyeballs are bleeding. For the record, I think the SoT series (well, the four that I read. I can't believe I made it to four) sucked arse. Great big giant sticky sweaty smelly dripping unwashed ones. I really cannot understand, even after reading that whole other thread, why someone would like these books. I also know that people can say that about a lot of stuff that I like, and I'm just way too lazy to argue. To each their own, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosicus Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I thought it was to avoid accusations of libel and such. Hey, we're just making fun of some made-up guy named Tairy. But now I'm thinking that Tyria is a spy. :leaving: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
