I knew people liked me *sniff* :p:

Good to be back, all. A happy new year to everyone!

So... anyone been reading any fantasy lately? I managed to devour both Eragon and Eldest by Paolini while on holiday - both books got two thumbs up from me! Excellent reads :biggrin:

So I'm going to go on a rampage...or something. Anyways; y'all have fun without me (difficult, I know, but you'll manage it :wink:

)

HOW ABOUT...

What do people think about the decline in the quality of Original Fantasy Cinema in recent times. Is it just me, or is everything in that department usually reserved for small children, or just plain ****e?

Heh, well, no one replied to what I said, so the thread didn't pop up in my subscribed threads list, so I couldn't keep it alive :p:

As for your question... to save myself a long answer - and perhaps to irritate you just a little bit - I'll leave my answer as: yes, I agree :p:

It's all about the money these days, there's no love any more :frown:

It's always been about the money... ah well.

Anyone seen Eragon? Is it worth watching? Loved the books, but I'm wondering if the film's worth watching...

Well i saw Eragon but it didn't seem that amazing to me. I don't know about the books but the film seemed lacking in substance. There wasn't enough of a plot imo.

I haven't seen it. I was going to go see it last night; but the Vue had upgraded it to Gold Class only, and I ain't paying £3 extra to go see a film that I'm having reservations about paying £4.50 for! So I went to see Apocalypto instead; which was rather good.

Also, check out my rather cunning quote in my sig for what I think of the books. Did anyone else notice a startling similarity between the plots of Eragon and Star Wars? Seriously; I was rather wierded out.

Yes but it was coupled with love (usually). Where else would we have gotten brilliant shows like Hercules, Xena, Charmed, etc and then there was the Marvel comics. We dont get superheroes like them any more, these days they're all rip-offs (eg. The Incredibles). *misses the good ol' days* I seem to be spending a lot of my time recently becoming nostalgic :s-smilie:

Stop making me nostalgic people! I'm only 18! :frown:

Purely cosmetic. Star Wars is infinitely better than Eragon (or it would be if the Empire had won). Plus the manner in which the Emperor rose to power was far more intricate and spectacular than Galbatorix's rise.
Comparing SW and Eragon :mad:

Blasphemy
