Off Topic Discussion / Re: World Cup?
Last post by zombie no.one - Today at 01:45:29 PMI quite liked the USA crowd's chant of: "Soccerball! Soccerball! We're gonna score a home run in the third quarter!"... (think that's what they were singing?)
I predict France will demolish Morrocco later, but an upset would be nice

Last post by pacman000 - Today at 12:23:18 PMWas trying to think of a Beowulf movie, but most of those are set in 500 AD. :/ So...
17) Erik the Conqueror (1961)
Set around 800 AD. Still a jump, but not a 500-year jump.

Lots of editors say remove adverbs & adjectives, replace them with more precise words. I say keep 'em.
And, yes, those twists were great.

Last post by pacman000 - Today at 11:51:10 AMCircus World by Barry B. Longyear
Either a short story collection or a fix-up novel, about a world populated by circus folk, who settled there after their spaceship crashed. They must figure out what to do when two warring quadrants decide their planet is key in a coming conflict. Feels more like fantasy than science fiction, since the society has reverted to pre-modernism, but the last chapter is 100% sci-fi.
If I were to make a movie of it, I'd base said movie on three stories: The Tryouts, The Second Law, & Priest of the Baraboo; these contain the real plot of the book.

Bad Movies / Re: 100 Historical Movies in O...
Last post by Rev. Powell - Today at 10:32:33 AMI thought we would fall into one of two tracks: either Greek mythology or the Bible. Mixing them would be complicated. We're now in the era of post-King Arthur, Charlemagne and the vikings. Not sure about Asian, African, or American history (those are harder to date).
There are a lot of obscure historical movies you could uncover with research, but jumping by centuries is probably inevitable at this point.

Last post by pacman000 - Today at 10:19:53 AMThere were some movies set after Jerusalem fell, but before Christ we missed. Plus a few set in ancient Greece & Rome, like Ulysses,Jason & the Argonauts, & Troy.
Hm. Robin Hood isn't for another 500 years. I've got nothing in the 500's, but don't want to jump five centuries.
Anyone know of any significant events in Asian, African, or Mesoamerican history, from that time, on which some films are based?

Last post by Rev. Powell - Today at 09:38:39 AMQuote from: Alex on Today at 08:47:57 AMShame we skipped The Life of Brian. If I recall correctly, that one gives you its exact date & time right down to it being tea time.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by Alex - Today at 08:53:15 AMHow to Kill Monsters (2023).
Badly acted and with (barely) passable special effects (they are better than The Creeping Terror; I will give them that), I somehow, nonetheless, found this film quite endearing and enjoyable. I was wishing it had the sequel the ending was clearly open for.
Then again I was only paying half attention to it, so maybe I am being overly generous.
