Hmm... dragons, werewolves, and vampires, eh? I don't think Jackson would be interested. Sounds too banal for him. Maybe Sam Raimi would be interested.

OR ... maybe SOME people can say ONE positive thing EVER in SOME post someday instead of scanning over the messageboards looking for other people's opinions to freak out about.

Personally I don't think it's possible to make a (good) Silmarillion movie, but if PJ does it, it would have:
*Feanor would fall down all the time, and perhaps have a perpetual constipated look on his face. *Galadriel would rescue Maedhros. *Thingol would die by falling on a spiked wheel. *Mim would be tossed by Turin and die.

Good ideas, Cass! Except I think Feanor should do the eyes-rolling-up-in-head thing that Elijah does...

============================================== In some respects, I think I would have an easier time watching a film about the Silmarillion by Jackson since I have only read parts of the book and do not remember much to any great deal of detail. I may still have problems with the film, but it will not be due to my familiarity with the story. Part of my problems with PJ&co. treatment of LOTR is due to my familiarity with LOTR. Part is due to unecessary parts in the film, IMHO (ie Ents quickly changing their mind about attacking Isengard, after stating in the Film about 1-3 minutes earlier that Ents are "not hasty" (or words to that effect), Shield suffing down the stairs, Dwarf jokes (I thought they were amusing, but not appropriate for the film), Olympic torch Orc (funny yes. appropriate for film no) Burping in the film and sloppy eating habits. (might this occur in a "real world ME" yes. Appropriate to include in the film. no.) ) to name some examples that I can think of at the momment. Again this is MHO.

I tried to make an opera libretto from various sources concerning Beren and Luthien, but I gave up. It was just too much action for such a small space. And that's the problem in a nutshell. Each chapter of the Simarillion could be a novel in itself. Drama is such a different medium that you can't even approach the story the same way. And cinema is so visual compared to other forms of drama that it is like four generations away from the source. I'd like to see Jackson's detractors here attempt a screenplay conversion of even a short story. It's so easy to be an armchair quarterback.

And yes - I agree the only way to do the Silmarillion would be to take gorups of chapters and flesh them out.

As far as a Silmarillion movie goes I agree with what SGH said, a movie of it just shouldnt be made by anyone. I can understand wanting to bring a beloved classic to the screen and introduce those that didnt know about it to the LOTR trilogy, but leave it at that. People should now be encouraged to find out more about that whole world if they liked it. I will say I know alot of people that read lotr after seeing the movie and then wanted to read all the other books too....yah.... IMHO

Hep C is alot like AIDS just slower, and it specifically attacks the liver. It comes from blood-to-blood contact, nothing sexual related (which can be the case with AIDS). It can be treated with Chemotherapy, but the disease itself is terminal.

Since anything related to Peter Jackson -- even when it has nothing to do with the Lord of the Rings movies -- has been deemed okay to post in this forum, does this mean a Peter Jackson thread on King Kong would be okay to post here too? What about the cast? Can threads about their future film projects be included there too since this appears to have become the "anything movie-related goes here" forum?
Just wondering. |
