[DisturbedPervert]

Knowing 

Yes, quite an excellent unintentional comedy.

[FunkMonk]

Master and Commander, again. I love that movie.

[The Brain]

Master and Commander, again. I love that movie.

Turning an American into a Frenchman was disgusting.

[Admiral Yi]

Master and Commander, again. I love that movie.

Have you read the books?

[Habbaku]

I want to see In The Loop very, very badly, but it isn't out nearby yet.

I guess you are ... Out of the Loop!

[Josquius]

Superman 4- Actually not that bad. Beats Returns anyway. And probably 3. But still awful.

[FunkMonk]

Master and Commander, again. I love that movie.

Have you read the books?

Not yet, though I've been meaning to.

I suspect this is one of those cases where movie and book are quite a bit different. I, being a man of fairness and impartiality, only care insofar as either entertain me. In this, the movie excels. I'm perfectly happy if the movie departs from the series of books in any meaningful way, as long as I'm entertained and a fair bit of historicity is maintained.

Have you seen the TV series it's adapted from?  If not I can't recommend it enough.  It's very good.

Not really.  The movie is very faithful to the spirit of the books.  In substance it takes plot elements from about 4 or 5 different books, but like I said I think in spirit it catches the books beautifully.

I love both the series, and the movie.

I had no idea there even was one.  Don't suppose you have a link I can watch them at?

Very good then. 

I'll come around to reading at least a few of the books some time. Right now I've got a little too much on my plate.

[Darth Wagtaros]

Its the first and I think 12th books if I'm not mistaken. I started the series some time back and couldn't get into it.  I found Sharpe's Rifles instead.  Even though a lot of the books seem more and more the same as it went on.  I liked the Sharpe's Rifles movies.
