I just watched last nights episode of GoT. Spoiler alert...
I think they're getting a little ridiculous with it now. I'm actually wondering how anyone became an adult on the show. -

I've never watched the Office. I guess I'll hit it up on Netflix after I finish Arrested Development.
-
06-03-2013, 05:48 PMBallSoHardI actually started watching arrested development last night. Was ok; ill keep watching.Quote:

Gatsby is a remake from its original movie, which started from the book. When reading the book it's great and suspenseful, but the original movie was kinda boring. I figured the remake would be way more interesting because of the cast and Leonardo Dicaprio who's amazing.

Had some holes, a little slow, which is understandable considering the story, but I am a sucker for cool tech in a movie and this had some. it was just fine not horrible, but not great either. I feel very blah about it.Quote:

Gatsby was good, I thought. DiCaprio was the perfect gatsby, I thought.
-
06-04-2013, 04:29 PMThe JNRHe was good. And I thought Daisy was good too. The big problem was Nick Carraway. Not necessarily that Tobey Maguire did a bad job, but that the character was just off. The spirit of the novel wasn't there. It makes me sound pretentious and book-nerdy, I know.Quote:

There were plot holes and such, but the thing that bothered me the most was that the movie could of been so much better with certain added elements.
-
06-04-2013, 04:32 PMInner_GII've read the book. I felt the movie did a good job, and there is no disputing its the best version yet. That book is just to complicated to successfully show in film, in my opinion. I went to see it for entertainment, not for book accuracy.Quote:

You're right, it is the best version yet. And I don't think it's the accuracy, I think it's exactly what you said. The spirit of the book is too complicated to put on the screen. It just doesn't shine through, even with Leo's good performance. Maybe there's nothing they could do about it, but it still left me disappointed.

Are any of you guys Percy Jackson & The Olympians fans? I read the books Lighting Thief and still on Sea Of Monsters. I thought the first movie was great until reading the book which Rick Riodan wrote so great! The 2nd movie looks like it'll stick to the 2nd book from what I read I the preview I've seen. But to be completely honest, the book series is just as good as Harry Potter.
-
06-04-2013, 05:23 PMcoltsguy510HUGE fan!!!! I'm waiting for the next Heroes Of Olympus book. They're also very good, but not quite on par with the Percy Jackson books. I hated the movie, having read the books first. There were so many very easy fixes they could of made.Quote:

I could continue to go on & on about The Lighting Thief movie. Even though I'm amp to see the next movie I still rather have a reboot of The Lighting Thief with a different cast. The pictures I seen while reading the book was not to be found, hopefully The Sea of Monsters change my perspective.Quote:

Watched Man of Steel last night. Even though I can see why it didn't get great reviews, but good instead. I still loved it and would watch it again.

Man of Steel was really good. The wife hated it because it left her wanting more Smallville and less action.
