Critical Miss: #35

The most important one.

(I take this to mean the one with Patrick Stewart and Sting.)

I find it hard to disagree. (Oh, David Lynch...)

 

[Mordwyl]

I used to be like that whenever anyone said they like RPGs and never played a FF game, the sixth being the latest installment at the time.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Is it weird that I've never seen all the Lord of The Rings movies? >_>

 

[Lord George]

Ah, but WHICH Dune, one might ask?

The most important one.

(I take this to mean the one with Patrick Stewart and Sting.)

Sting was in dune? Well suddenly I wish to see this film

 

[Jared]

The common social faux pas...laughing at something you dont understand to keep up apperances...ill admit im guilty of it too sometimes

 

[Halceon]

Hehe, Babylon zoo!

 

[CaptainCrunch]

Ah, but WHICH Dune, one might ask?

The most important one.

(I take this to mean the one with Patrick Stewart and Sting.)

Sting was in dune? Well suddenly I wish to see this film

Oh, he's more than just 'in it'.

(I could only find a non-English version of the scene.)

Dune isn't a must-see movie. It's a must-read book.

So true. I've never seen the film, and don't especially feel lessened as a nerd for it. I have read the book -- actually, multiple times for all six of them -- and I consider it an enriching piece of literature, period. The Dune series -- at least the three books by Frank Herbert that focused on the mix or religion and politics, rather than the mix of sex and politics -- is some of the best sci-fi ever written, right up there with the original Foundation Trilogy.

I like to pretend the ones Asimov wrote in the 90's don't exist...

 

[The Wooster]

Didn't anyone else see the tri-force tattoo on Erin's (I think that's her name) wrist?

What about it?

Hehe, reminds me of that Penny Arcade about WH Online:

 

[Mr.Pandah]

Definitely one of the best. I don't think anyone can say this hasn't happened to them at some point though. Even just regarding life in general! =P

 

[npath]

Didn't anyone else see the tri-force tattoo on Erin's (I think that's her name) wrist?

Yes, since about 30 issues ago.

 

[The Great JT]

How could you have not seen Star Wars?! YOU'RE THE DEVIL!

Also, Greedo never shot.

 

[Evilsanta]

Good one! I agree if you have not seen all the Star Wars movies you are not human!

Im joking of course...Or am I?

 

[Hawkeye16]

I have seen Star Wars many times, and I don't recall what a Geedo is, or if it shoots first.
Was that one of the umpa lumpas at the end?

Get out. Get out, right now.

 

[WaderiAAA]

I never noticed that she has a triforce on her arm until now. Weird...

 

[craddoke]

I found watching Dune (Lynch's theatrical version) a chore - I did it, but I didn't like it. The SciFi Channel mini-series was better, but it still felt like work.

The books were pure spice - and in my heightened state of awareness, I came to know the awful truth. Star Wars is to Dune like an Honored Matre is to a Reverend Mother.


Edit: I.E., a whore.

 

[Lightslei]

So I guess I'll nail this on the head. I never saw anything of Star Wars, much less do I want anything to do with the series. When things get hyped up so much by the fans, I despise it. There's a lot of things that fall into this category, most recently Scott Pilgrim. Although I did see LOTR when it came out, and think they're good movies, but not "must-see".

Hell the movies in my "must-see" list would have people going "What?"
1. Neverending Story
2. Pagemaster

That's the entirety of my list.

 

[DTWolfwood]

haha XD good one.

P.s. i've never seen Dune from beginning to end. But i have seen some of the show

p.p.s. Still haven't seen Bladerunner
