The reviews are coming in.


The reviews are coming in. Church-nerds are complaining Noah doesn't adhere enough to the original's established canon.

Delicious.

I heard it has stone giants. I want to see it now.

    Not stone giants, storm giants, and I've heard they take up way too much screen time for such a minor part of the book. ;)

    Pft. That book has so many sequels there is no cannon any more. Heck, in the second book in the series there are four near-identical chapters told from slightly different viewpoints and then they... gah.

    Come on, ASH LAW; it's post-modern meta-narrative exploring intertextualities. Get with the program.

    As a religious historian (though a non-christian), my real issue with it is that by all accounts it seems like it isn't just vaguely non-canonical, but actively and very intentionally anti-canonical.  It seems like it was almost designed to insultingly twist around the story in the most anti-orthodox way possible.

    To put it in terms of what we're talking about here, this isn't just un-canonical, this is like a Superman story where Superman goes on a killing spree for no good reason, lex luthor is a bumbling idiot, and Pa Kent was a child abuser.  Its like a comic written by a guy who despises comics in order to intentionally make a point about how stupid comics are, all the while claiming that this is totally true to the spirit of the legend.

Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/

Hit Me with your Horror

Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
