  I can, but only when it makes sense.

  It made sense for Dune, where the story is too vast to tell in one movie of reasonable length. Lawrence of Arabia proved that it is possible, but also that it’s not easy.

  This was a stage production, which you watch in one sitting, with intermission, more than likely.

  In this adaptation, that intermission will be longer than half an hour. Way longer.

  I have no hope that it will turn out to be a good adaptation.

  Because low effort horror producers are the first to need a “new” idea, and expired or public domain properties are the easiest way to get them.

  Surely, you’re not serious?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Actor Chris Pratt produces faith-based film about military chaplains⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Faith-based has been another word for films with a religious emphasis for a long time now.

  And pointing out that he’s a Christian is par for the course on Christian websites, and relevant, since the film is religious, and readers may wonder why he’s making one.

  Not that it’s been an obscure fact that he’s Christian. He’s ben very open about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Actor Chris Pratt produces faith-based film about military chaplains⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a Christian site. What kind of spin would they put on that headline?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Même] Which movie was this for you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, I was just quoting one of the most memorable lines from the movie.

  It was fun, but definitely not a good movie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Même] Which movie was this for you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But, but…

  There was a firefight!

  So, protestant?

  Yup! People will have no job because of this. The least they can do is be honest and unambiguous.

  Fun is, depth isn’t.

  Fair enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨63% of Gen Z Would Rather Play Video Games Than Watch a Movie — GamerBlurb⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It tends to lead to hyperactive minds…

  Citation need, I think.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lord of the Rings Characters: Screen Time vs. Mentions in the Books⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But that’s what happened here. The x-axis has been unevenly distributed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lord of the Rings Characters: Screen Time vs. Mentions in the Books⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A mention is not the same as an appearance, so the discrepancy for some characters could be even greater of you take that into account.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lord of the Rings Characters: Screen Time vs. Mentions in the Books⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How else can you make it look like a linear grouping?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dennis Quaid’s ‘Reagan’ Is the Worst Movie of the Year⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would even consider watching it of they covered it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Hellboy Poster⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m more surprised by them referring to it as the fourth instalment at all.

  This movie is supposedly a reboot, so not part of the same storyline as the previous three.

  Yet, that is what those words seem to communicate.

  Marketing? Sloppy writing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨31 years ago, Jurassic Park was released⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Having read it again not too long ago, I was actually surprised by how much of it was not good.

  The framework was interesting, but much of the actual writing wasn’t nearly as good as I had thought.

  Maybe it’s because I had read it in a Dutch translation the first couple of times, and the translator had had improved the prose without intending to, or maybe it’s because it was many years ago.

  Whatever the reason, I felt like it needed another pass of the editor.

  The movie, on the other hand, still thrills me every time I see it.
