it would be like trying to turn an epic into a short story.
Good point.  This is why I don't watch the Harry Potter movies. :suffer:

They aren't that bad.  Ok..... maybe they are.  But they are still pretty good movies IMO.

I like them a lot personally. Yes some of the latter movies chop down the story quite a bit but in general they are still quite good and the breadth of actors they have in it are amazing. :D

Yeah.  Agreed. ;D  THey are amazing movies.  Just too short.  (Well that depends on your point of view)

The last two are too short. They should be making them at least three hours. preferably four. I would love it if they did and Extended version like they did with Lord of the Rings.  That would be SOOOO Awesome.

Quote from: xelanoimis on June 29, 2009, 01:24:28 PMOh, and another interesting thing I'm watching is that the company owning the Myst license gave permission to two fans willing to do a full Myst movie. Well I hope it works out. Google it for more details.

Hmmm, it looks promising. I have all the games, but I've never read the books (although I hear that they're very good). I'm glad that they decided to adapt one of the books to film, rather than trying to base it on one of the games. The games are terrific as games, but I think that it would be very hard to make them into good movies. RPG games like The Legend of Zelda are more suited to film adaptation.

Anyway, I hope they do a good job of the film.

Deep roots are not touched by the frost

A light from the shadows shall spring
Renewed shall be blade that was broken
The crownless again shall be king

It really makes me squeal with joy that my stamp posts are the first ones in this thread -- still! Looking back on my old posts though, I have to ask: didn't that avatar used to say something? I thought it said "He will seek victory" flash to Minos "even in his defeat" flash to Minos. Did I make that up? It was awesome if it did, I gotsta get me one that does that! :P

That would be AWESOME. But I disagree about the last two, I thought they did a good job editing down the story without changing things around too much. I think Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire were VERY guilty of that. No house elves in Goblet?! Ridiculous.

NO HOUSE ELVES?!

Huff....puff...face reddening...teeth clenching...calm down, Haids...

Okay, I'm good now.  This is EXACTLY the reason I won't watch 'em.  I'm getting mad about something small like that, I don't see how I'd survive the whole movie.

Completely random, but is there any way to tell the total number of posts made on the forum other than adding them up? (Which before this post came to 255909 if I punched everything in correctly and there's no forum boards I can't see) :P

That's a good bit of posts.

I've seen that before. :P

256565? Looks like there are some boards I can't see. (Or my calculator skills are lacking) :P

I've never seen it before, but it was interesting.  I'll have to get my posts up if I ever wanna see my name there.  :P

What happened at the end of August last year that we had 97 people on at once? ???

Yonkey

I think we were either hit by spambots, or some gaming site linked to our site.

Is it a bad thing for a gaming site to link to this one?  ???

No, absotively not! I wouldn't think so anyways.

It's definitely not a bad thing.  But I have a feeling it was more of a spambot attack.  Usually when another site links to us, there's a bit more traffic than just one hour of one day.
