It's a cool fantasy book that was made into a movie (and I guess a miniseries too?).
iirc, the miniseries was like a sequal to the book series or something like that.

The second Dune book (Dune Messiah, I think?) is very good. The next 4 get worse and worse. There's a whole series of new ones written by someone else. I don't know anything about them.
The newest ones are written by the son of Dune's author. I guess I should get the second book and not bother with any beyond that.

I read a book called "Doon" once. It was about a desert planet that had all the beer in the world. instead of giant worms there were giant pretzels. instead of your eyes turning blue they turned bloodshot.

Yep, it's about people on a desert planet trying to get spice.
Yeah, but what's the spice? :devil:

Movies are hard to watch after reading the book.

I read "One flew over the cuckoo's nest" and the movie was horrible in comparison. I couldn't watch the whole thing, it was just not right.

I loved "Lorna Doone"! The BBC version, I have the DVD.

Lorna Doone is a pretty boring book, but I liked the classic comic version as a kid.

shane was also a better book than movie, at least i thought so in second grade. if it weren't for jack palance the movie would stink.

I couldn't get into the book, but the BBC movie was great. Very well done. I was on the edge of my seat towards the end when John is chasing Carver.

Heh, here is a review of the DVD, my sentiments exactly. Get this DVD! Beautiful soundtrack.

"This superb BBC/A & E production filmed in the English and Welsh countryside, is a haunting adventure and touching love story. The story line is quite a complex one and although it turns out happily, it keeps you on the edge of your seat right up to the very end. In fact you might want to keep a box of kleenexes handy!

John Ridd's father was killed by the outlaw Doones when John was a boy, and his life complicates further when he falls in love with Lorna, a member of this this evil family. The journey to find some way to be together is a theme throughout the movie. I did have to watch the movie for a second time before I completely grasped the many background details that motivated the characters.

The romantic chemistry between handsome Richard Coyle and classic beauty Amelia Warner took my breath away. It's the best love story I've seen in a while and it contains so many beautiful scenes that I will want to watch over and over again. The movie has many contrasts such as the beautiful English/Welsh countryside - the dark and forboding scenes with the Doones, the ruthless and evilness of Carver - the extreme goodness of John Ridd. During the darker scenes there is a fair amount of killing and violence and so in my opinion the movie is most appropriate for mature pre-teens to adults. It The soundtrack is beautiful as well, but I believe that at this time it is not available to purchase. In closing, I would just like to say that I think this is a gripping story and I would highly recommend this movie. It really has something for everyone."

Man if Lorna Doone could cause that much of a thread snooze, with the evil Doones kidnapping and killing to gain power. I ought to review the PBS version of "Pride & Prejudice", there's not even any killing in that movie.
I love the PBS version of Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth. OOh, when you see him standing sideways as her carriage moves away, he looks hot...mmmmm,mmmm,mmmm,mmmm:-p They just don't make men like him any more. :cry:

Review - This is by light years THE best adaptation of Jane Austen's novel that exists. Of course, no film (or mini series) is ever entirely 100% faithful to the original text, but the A&E series makes such small changes that you hardly notice...and then it flows too well for you to care. Such can not be said of the other adaptations out there ESPECIALLY the newest one with Kiera Knightley...I've only seen the previews of this and even that makes me shudder. The story is utterly re-written and does not have the same "feel" of the original novel. Please, if you plan on seeing the new film version of this wonderful novel, then watch this mini-series first. I guarantee you that nothing else could hold a candle to it. Nothing! And by the way, my boyfriend (an adamant "chick flick" hater) loves this mini series!

Well, I think it's just what happens just before puberty. He had all those really big growth spurts as a child, and now he's just gaining weight, but not really growing, but as soon as those hormones kick in during puberty, he'll spurt right up again! :biggrin:
