So it was fine to whitewash Earthsea by that reasoning.

You also made a point about historical fiction. Unless this is one of those stupid modernizations, Annie took place during the Great Depression, and those New York orphanages would have been full of abandoned white children.

... Oh... It's one of those stupid modernizations.

Exactly. It's a Depression Era story and concept through and through.

Instead of thinking up a new story concept, they just buy the rights to "Annie" and make whatever modernized changes they want since they "own the work".

It's lazy screenwriting. Just keep re-adapting old successful concepts until they al become just uninteresting mud.

Meanwhile, someone like Richard Linklater takes the time to film his actors over the span of 12 years to show the changes a boy goes through as he matures. Boyhood

This one is going to actually hurt:

DreamWorks Is Developing ‘Hot Stuff’

Good grief, even I can barely remember this little guy from when I was about 5. Harvey Comics.

This is material aimed at 3 year olds. If.

I'm just not seeing the demand.

My take on it.

A billionaire walking around without bodyguards? In New York? When he is clearly a public face?

Bwhahahahahhahahahahahahaha.

Yeah like that'd ever happen.

I'm glad this documentary, and all the visual materials, are out there and finally getting notice. Before this, the only evidence for this production has been the old issues of Starlog Magazine from like 1978.

It's a great documentary, but Jodorowsky's version of Dune would have been a disaster. (Harkonnen's throne room decorated with burning giraffes..........). And he even says he was going to ignore most of the story. It would have been something trippy to watch, but would not resemble the book at all.

I dare anyone here to even attempt making it through any one of his other films. I certainly tried, and could not.

I mean....giving a "Dune" production's reigns over to a director primarily interested in surrealism ? Who would ever do that ? Oh, wait....... Lol

ed: Jodorowsky delivers what I call incomprehensible random surrealism. David Lynch at least keeps the strangeness more incorporated within an actual story.

While I can say that Christian Bale is an excellent actor, and his take on Bateman was unique and fascinating, it really was a departure from the way the character is written by the author. Also, the director kind of made his character dry and somewhat unpalatable. I like most of Christian Bale's characters but even playing a protagonist in this one, I actually felt dislike for his character both in wanting him to die and in wanting the movie to spend more focus on other characters instead, such as his nemesis--even though you can't really attribute the good acting to the director, Christopher Harron, you still have to admit that the fink with the smile and the stare really stole the show. I know he's da foe, but sometimes the audience can really relate to an antagonist, ya know?

Anyways, I understand why the creator, Bill Finger Ellis, felt that the movies didn't do justice to Batman. Christian Bale is a great actor, but he's not the right sort of character for the role.

IT'S A SMALL WORLD: THE MOVIE directed by Jon Turteltaub is a real thing Disney wants to make!

and I need to lay down for awhile, and think things over................
