Title: "Deathlands" (2003) Post by: nobody on April 03, 2005, 09:23:44 PM I saw the first part of this cheesefest on the Scifi Channel while I was waiting to go see Sin City today. It's definitely a must see movie for those of you who love god awful cliche filled post-apocalyptic flicks.
It's about a "prince" (of sorts) named Ryan Cawdor who roams the deathlands like a nomad after being exiled from his "vill" (village) by his evil older brother. When I was leaving the house, Ryan was about to return to his vill and reclaim his worthless crown. I can't wait to see the entire film. BTW, here's what I learned from this movie: in the future, almost all words will be shortened for no actual reason. vill = village canni = cannibal muti = mutant stupi = stupid (No, that last one isn't a joke about the movie. Someone did say "stupi"). Title: Re: "Deathlands" (2003) Post by: Yaddo 42 on April 04, 2005, 04:09:30 AM Caught the opening of this before going to sleep this morning, didn't quite hold my interest.
When will writers learn that inventing slang, especially in scifi, can backfire horribly if it sounds stupid or phony to the viewer or becomes a distraction?
