There can be only one!

Did I do it right?

Especially since one of the background banners has a perfectly normal sentence on it.

"indicates films playing in theaters around the world in the week commencing 31 January 2025."

From the Wikipedia page.

So, you see, there's a phrase for everyone.

Especially for shitbags to use to justify their assholery.

The transcript even reads like a prompt.

It isn't, really. It has funny moments, but on the whole it's an action adventure film, and a very good one at that.

They even mention it in the article, seemingly without any awareness of the irony.

Don't worry, that's just the response he conjures up.

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.

It's not written by Baum, though.

Surely, you're not serious?

 

I love Kim Stanley Robinson’s books, and am reading (in some case re-reading) his books in order. At some point, I’m going to get to Green Earth, but since it’s a reworking of the Science in the Capitol trilogy, I wanted to find out just how much it adds/leaves out/changes.

Is the difference significant enough to merit a “re-read”? I'm particularly interested in characterization, but I'm also curious if the science itself has been significantly changed, with resulting plot changes.

Thanks!
