I should have been revising for my business exams, yesterday and I should be revising for the next ones, now. I just take a little time out, to browse and stuff, just to relax. I used to post whenever I had an opinion on something or just wanted to comment on something... I still do. :P Indeed, Dolphin, sometimes one-liners aren't spam. But usually, posts over several lines have more content than mere one-liners. Not necessarily... (though of course it depends on how you define content).

Plan: Get back into human form, and if there is time, kill Harry. Doesn't really seem stupid to me. Read "101 Rules for Villains". Luring the protagonist into an ingenuously designed death-trap and then try to kill him in a mock-duel is about as dumb as it gets. If he wants the blood, he could get it in a more subtle way, possibly without having to abduct him. For one thing, he'd have a chance at resurrecting himself without anybody noticing. By abducting Harry, he is taking a big risk: Should Harry get away - as he does - Dumbledore will be alerted immediately. So he spends an entire year setting up an imposter, designing a clever abduction trap, and basically counting on being able to kill the same person who nearly destroyed him as a baby. No less, he is so sure of himself that he baits his enemy and allows him the chance of winning a duel. A waste of evil. :P [ Thursday, June 16, 2005 04:05: Message edited by: 2984 ] -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Of course, it's a cool thing to list in one's CV or an application, but from what I hear it has marginally more practical value now than being able to operate an ENIAC. Of course, I stand corrected if any programmer knows better.

Books Being Made Into Movies in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Wednesday, June 15 2005 05:25 Profile Homepage #32 quote: Originally written by if moniker == dall OR din: An explanation of exactly why I despise the movies boils down to two points. One is that while the main selling point of the book was the story and the sense of wonder that it creates by giving the reader the idea that the world of Middle-Earth is as realistic and deep and alive as ours, while the main selling point of the movies were the UB3R L33T KEWL BATLTES!!!111 and the poorly done romantic subplot (why must almost every goddamn movie, even ones where all the main characters are children under the age of eight, have a romantic subplot?) The second is that the movies relegated Faramir to the role of an ambitious idiot who is overcome by his conscience, Sam to an immature, prepubescent sidekick, and Gimli to a bumbling, intentionally stupid character designed only for comic relief (and as a foil to the stupidly magnified Legolas). Plus, they got rid of the Scouring of the Shire. And I find that screenplays adapted into movies tend to work out very well actually. Depends upon the screenplay, of course. Isn't that interesting? The main point I got from the LotR movie were the fantastic landscape shots and settings, which managed to convey to me a feeling similar to what the book had done with its verbose descriptions - ie. a deep, realistic and alive world. Who cares about the battles? Oh, and make no mistake; I was pissed when they made Saruman do that tumble off the tower on top of the spike wheel, and did not even deign to include that in the theatre edition. But I also realize that there was no way in hell Bombadil could have been included without absolutely ruining the movie from the start. Bombadil is "Hobbit"-stuff, as are names like "Ori, Dori, Oin and Gloin". And after what happened earlier, the Scouring would have been anticlimactic in the extreme - like a sequel before the movie has even ended. Also, no movie is better than its book. Of course it isn't as good. But when considering a work like Tolkien's, how much does that really say? Edit: Congrats? What for? Hey! :eek: YAY! Edit: Celebratory images moved to other thread that already is about postwhoring.
