Let's talk about books more in this thread.
I'm not saying it did it a great deal of justice, but compared to Goblet of Fire it definitely did. The GoF film is like 12% of the actual plot of the book.
those books are better than those movies
and if I was caught carrying a book like that in junior high, my friends would have beaten the hell out of me.
Stop hatin' on POA bono_212, I like you and all, but I might have to hurt you... by posting a smilie in reference to you!
The nerve of some people on discussion boards, having dissenting opinions and all, .
I was going to ask you (and you) Lance where you saw White Material as it has yet to surface around here, but then I noticed it opens in Boston on Friday... unfortunately it's at a theater I loathe... decisions.
The Tree of Life looks entirely stunning, impressionistic, cosmic, ethereal or maybe even surreal... Just OMG.
I'd suggest checking out She Wore A Yellow Ribbon next. It's not in 'scope, but the color photography is great, and it features a completely different but equally impressive Wayne performance, and noteworthy for how much older the character was than the actor himself. Very subtle and arguably his most moving turn.
From there, you could check out the other two films in the "Cavalry trilogy" (Fort Apache and Rio Grande), or go for another masterpiece like My Darling Clementine.
Thanks for the recs, I was feeling a little overwhelmed on where to go next. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance was the first to come to mind.
