Osiris Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Yer both the versions of Dune had their good points and their bad. Though I understood the orignal more after seeing the SFC version. Johnny Depp - "Dieago asked me to do a small favour for him, I agreed. The favour was to pick up 50 kgs of blow, thats 110 pounds. Not exactly a small favour like bumming a cigarette for example, Why not, not like I was on parole or anything..." THe movie Blow.

Not exactly a small favour like bumming a cigarette for example, Why not, not like I was on parole or anything..." THe movie Blow. Blow has quite a few funny lines in it. Another good one is, Bobcat Goldthwaite: "I can't feel my face. I mean, i can touch it, but i can't feel it." Blow was one of my favorite movies of last year. As for Dune, sometimes a book can't be translated to film and have it work right. Personally, i didn't think either one of them captured the essense of the book. If you wanna be picky, neither does Lord of the Rings. Peter Jackson certainly amazed me that he was able to get that close to the books, i never thought he would be able to pull it off. But the movie lost a...the only way i can describe it is...a "comfortable feeling" that the LOTR trilogy had. The books ease along. Even though it was three hours long, the movie feels "rushed". Which always makes me laugh when people get angry cause the movie is so long. It has to be that long or else he wouldn't be as faithful to it as he has been. And even with it being three hours, he takes quite a bit of artistic license with it. That being said, i don't envy the makers of both Dunes' or Jackson with LOTR. It's extremely difficult to translate a classic book to the screen. Especially books like those two, which a good percentage of the world's population has read and loved.

Osiris Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 Yer Blow certainly had some good lines in it, not just comedy but thoughtful ones too like when he dad says "Sometimes your Flush, sometimes your bust, and when your up its never as good as it seems, and when your down you never think youll get back up, thats the way life is. Money isnt Important, its not real george, only seems like it is." Thats a very true line I personally feel, but apart from that one, I agree a scene from a book etc can be interputted so many ways, I mean id personally love to see Jeff Waynes Musical War of the Worlds made into a move, I think with current video / animation technolkogy some great effects and powerdful scenes could be done, but thats just my interpuration of it, might suck as a movie. Sorry for getting off track of the topic I just really liked the point in the above post and thought id build on it.

dARKSTAr Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 I was watching "Das Boot" tonight and was reminded of one of my all-time favorite lines. A line that me and my friends used to say to each other all the time. A little background for those who haven't seen it: Das Boot is the story of German sailors aboard a U-Boat during WWII. It's also one of the best war movies ever made. Anyway, the sailors are coming off shore leave and the doctor is checking them for sexually transmitted diseases. One sailor comes up to the doc, strips and the doctor inspects him and says..."Crabs!!! Crabs you dirty boy!!! With a winky the size of yours, they'll eat it to the bone!!!" :D :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/21080-fav-line-from-movie/page/3/#findComment-186618 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, i didn't think either one of them captured the essense of the book. Of course, there are others that can't translate, like Philip K. Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep." The director just used the plot of the book and built an extreme good movie around it called Blade Runner. As for FOTR (Lotr), I thought they did an admirable job. It was better than anything so far. They did catch the essence of the book. (climbing up on my soapbox) Dune (DeLaurentis) is just bad. The baron made that movie. The SFC Dune was pretty good, but why create plot points that didn't exist in the book. Call it something else like "Fremen Attack" or "Sandworms on Parade." When you call it DUNE, it should be DUNE. (climbing down off my soapbox now).:cool: :cool: :cool: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/21080-fav-line-from-movie/page/3/#findComment-188596 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dARKSTAr Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 Skeet...That's very true about Blade Runner. Although it did introduce me to Dick and his writing, so it holds a special place in my heart. A couple other movies along that line are Stanley Kubrick's version of The Shining. Kubrick took the very basic outlines of the book and made his own version of it. I've grown to like his version a lot (mostly cause of Nicholson's manic peformance) but when i first saw it, i was very disappointed. And the TV movie, ahh well, that was just plain bad. Apocalypse Now is another movie that has very little to do with the novel. It's based on Conrad's Heart of Darkness, but is only very loosely based on it. About Fellowship of the Ring, don't get me wrong. I loved it and was happy that he was able to catch as much of the books spirit as he did. However, he turned the movie into a popcorn eating slam-bang adventure movie. Maybe he did that because Hollywood questions whether people will sit through a story anymore without a lot of explosions and special effects. I don't know. But the Rings Trilogy is more like a fable or a fairy tale. There is a magical mystical gentleness that is missing from the movie. That gentleness, Jackson did not capture, and I'm not the only one saying it. It doesn't make the movie bad, but i think that with the advent of the computers, there are more and more people who don't read anymore, and i would hope that seeing the movie would inspire them to read the story rather than proclaim the movie as the best thing since sliced bread. The books are far, far better than the movie. There is also some artistic licence that he took with the story that sort of mystifies me considering that the movie is 3 hours long, but that's a point for another discussion Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/21080-fav-line-from-movie/page/3/#findComment-188614 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessterw Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 Hmm... I can't think of any good lines that no one's mentioned already. Although (and this is kinda off topic) one of my favorite scenes in a movie is from Indiana Jones and The Raiders of the Lost Ark (I think it was that one lol). It's the part where Indiana is about the face up with this crazy sword wielding, twirling arab. The guy is doing all this fancy moves with the sword and Indiana nonchalantly pulls out his pistol and shoots the guy. LMFAO the first time I saw that. The funny part is that it wasn't supposed to happen that way, Harrison Ford was just kidding around and they decided to keep it. :ermm: Sucks I still can't think of any lines...
