I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Quote"Our vision isn't your grandfather's 'Moby Dick,' " Cooper said. "This is an opportunity to take a timeless classic and capitalize on the advances in visual effects to tell what at its core is an action-adventure revenge story."

holy shit :bleeding:

This is quite the WTF moment. Who cares about Moby Dick but why such a weird adaption?

:yeahright: Put Spellus and his obsession aside, plenty of people care about Moby Dick.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Yeah.  I wonder if Spellus is developing a taint of his own. :o

This truly will be craptastic. Will it be bad enough to be funny?

Hopefully they can get Nicholas Cage to play Captain Ahab.

Lots of Americans have Old Testament names (and it was even more common in the 19th century), but relatively few of them are Jewish.  Seigy would know that if he actually knew anything about the United States, instead of being a third-world barbarian.
