timepiececlock: (Promise4 - not to leave)
For one brief, shining moment I thought the most-annoying one had stepped on a land mine and we'd be rid of him forever.

...but it didn't blow up until later. Curses! Foiled again. It would have been so welcome.

It's a sad thing that I find the subplots of the humans in this to be more interesting and better written than the actual main plot and main characters.

2nd half:

Ah-HA! Here comes the random unexplained appearence of cool mystic American Indian dude I was promised. That does help. And so does the first appearence of Teh Pretty Yoko Kanno Music.

...ending with bad dialogue. ::cringe::

Help!

What program reads *.rar files? I really need to find one so that I can actually use this stuff I've downloaded...

Thanks.

Okay, I love when scifi/fantasy/action anime and game stuff get made into movies. Don't get me wrong on that.

But for the love of my wallet, couldn't they have picked something better than TEKKEN????

Looking at this and remembering the single comic from the Books of Magic that I got from the library about 8 years ago, I have to acknowledge that it does indeed seem like the Harry Potter books ripped off from Gaiman's concept like a Vegas hustler. And I think they also kinda ripped from that kid's book with the evil helicopters, So You Want To Be A Wizard or whatever.

Still, I do love that more fantasy films are being given serious money for production. The Constantine trailer is up on the net as well. Probably helps that I actually _haven't_ read the books for that one.

You know what I'd REALLY like to see become a film?

Jeremy Thatcher Dragon Hatcher.

Of all the school-age fantasy books I read, I rank this as one of the best. It's only one book, not 7, only around two hundred pages. But it's sweet, funny, exciting, and ultimately angsty and mature. It's about every young kids dream-- getting a baby dragon to raise all your own, and the troubles that come with.

Best of all, it could be very neatly translated to a well-contained 2 hour movie without cutting too much, or having it be HP/LOTR size. And it has the coolest name for the dragon ever.

In my dream paradise, the person who wrote the script for The Iron Giant would write the script. And then someone really super cool would direct it. And they'd cast a child actor that can actually act. ::looks bitterly at J.K.Rowling and glowers::
