Yeah, but there's not that many, and why bother when "blunt whatever movie plus romance" gives you a lot more money instead.Izanagi009 said:Why is the story so simplified in it's message and views, why can't it keep the symbolism of the book?
Teenagers aren't all idiots, We can take that type of abstract thought so please make a movie that does the book justice and help inspire people.
Eh, more like American Middle School, at least that's when I had to read it. It's not very long of a read.GoodNewsOke said:I have never heard of The Giver. Is it American high school material or something? The idea sound alright so I might give the book a look (unless it's too long).
Community gag was good but done one too many times. Just to throw my 2 cents into the ring...
Whoop, lost the page. Yep, it sure did, though. Wish I could say more about the film, but it really doesn't seem all that memorable. I think it just tries too hard to be.aavb132 said:Boy, that "COMMUNITY" gag got old real quick.
O_O To paraphrase the Green Scorpion...Jennacide said:That'd be Dragon Quest Heroes, the next game to join the Dynasty Warriors-like bandwagon. Not that I'm entirely complaining, Hyrule Warriors could be interesting enough, and being able to run arond flogging guys as the Monbarbra sisters would be pretty awesome.GamemasterAnthony said:Question: What Dragon Quest game was that at the end?
Nthing the Community (Dun! Dun. DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!) joke getting old fast as well.
Hopefully Jessica makes it in, always loved her despite the goofy accent in DQ8 and some of her absurd costumes.
Hopefully it does well, there are lots of jokes that reward people who are into horror movies or even casual film watchers. I did like the reference to Blade and the making fun of Twilight. It also reminded me of this movie somewhat in that they go to a "undead only" ball and a human comes along as a +1 by accident https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkPqiVODzj0ritchards said:Unfortunately, it means "screened at festival", which is a shame as it is a brilliant movie.Tim Chuma said:Hasn't What We Do in the Shadows come out yet?

It says it was released earlier in the year but I am not sure if it means it was screened at a festival?

It must be universal high school material, I read it in an Argentinian high school. I suppose it's a popular, easy way of introducing the idea of dystopia, as well as a stepping stone in the direction of more adult reads like Brave New World and 1984.GoodNewsOke said:I have never heard of The Giver.

Another Edge fan!PunkRex said:I was dyslexic growing up so I didn't read many books, reading mostly manga and comics instead, BUT there was one series I read and indeed still read.
Why the hell have these books not been made into films Hollywood or at least a t.v. series BBC?
These books are soooooo gawdamn good, they have interesting characters, incredible settings, serious themes, it's just... I don't get it. Why are all these bloody films with vague dystopian/utopian settings about a sexy young chosen one so popular? What happened to a main character just being part of the world they inhabited instead of the only sane one in an asylum of twats.
I just, I-GAH!
That's what I'm thinking too, guessing there was nothing to work with with this movie. I'll be honest, it did break the flow of his review a lot but again, I guess he had nothing to work with for the most part. This was a short review, a little less than five minutes worth, is there some kind of standard like reviews have to be atleast a certain time? Just wondering is all.Not G.
