Press Releases and Film News / Another Orphan prequel?
Last post by Alex - Today at 03:26:49 PM
Poor Isabelle Fuhrman. 16 years on from the original movie she is set to reprise her role as Esther. It must be tough to play a preteen girl at her age. Although ok, she's not really a preteen girl, but anyway.

I thought the first two films were fine. I'd imagine I'll watch a third.

Got around to finishing the first assessment a few days early. My biggest problem is that I don't know what level they are aiming for, so I am waiting for the returns to give me some idea on how much more or less I need to write to complete the course successfully. I remember not long after we got married, Kristi asked me to read over one of her friend's final dissertations for his degree. I guess it was some sort of ethno-logy or sociology, but anyway, he'd written about some native American tribe. I read it and said this man does not deserve any level of qualification for this junk. It is what I'd have expected from a 12-year-old doing a report for school and I couldn't understand how he'd managed to get as far as he had. Anyway, I refused to help because I didn't feel he deserved the qualification he was after. Kristi was a bit more merciful than I was and put him in touch with a university lecturer and from what I later heard, he did actually pass. I did not read his final paper, but the original had just blandly stated a few textbook facts and shown no real insight or understanding of his subject.

Mind you, much later on I'd find out the differences in getting a degree in our two countries and if I knew then what I know now, I guess I wouldn't have been quite as harsh.

Anyway, I dread the thought of submitting my stuff with and it being too simplistic, so I tend to write on the heavier side, but then knowing that I'll try and compensate and simplify it down again. My work will typically go through many drafts before I am satisfied with it. Heh, once I even totally rewrote an essay because I found out some information I didn't know when I first wrote it and it entirely changed my perspective on someone. My instructor told me I wasn't allowed to change it when I spoke to him about it, but my original assessment of the subject no longer seemed fair and I couldn't not change it. Nothing was said when I did put in my final draft anyway.

I have found out several things that I didn't know previously about (we've not experienced a meltdown with Ash for example, but being forewarned about it means I'll be able to deal with it better if it does happen) and had new ways of dealing with other things come up (which really is why I am doing the course in the first place. I don't actually care about the qualification, it is the information I can take away that I am after).

Quote from: HappyGilmore on December 07, 2025, 12:56:27 PMTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. 1990.

By no means, an Oscar nominated masterpiece. But, fun, enjoyable, and fairly well executed for an independent film based on a weird little comic book. And, the costumes put together by Jim Henson and his company are really neat, and I wish recent films would use that. The two Michael Bay films were CGI and looked garbage.

Exactly. I went to see it when it came out, and this is one of those movies that is much better than it has any right to be.

Matthew Lillard has been in some films I really like. I wouldn't say he's my favorite, but he's not terrible either. Seems like a genuinely nice guy who shows up and hasn't had any negative press.

Owen Wilson can act, but seemingly relies on the oddball funny stuff all the time.

Hmm. I would have said Killer Sofa, but I think that came out after the original post.
