TV Series: Farscape and Dark Angel

[smilodon]

Fair point.

But on the face of it you appear to be a workshy useless slacker...but that just cannot be  :?:  :?:

OH OH I know. I know what it is. You were working at another site......... and errrrrr.............had your lap top with you.......yes that's it. And you had a coffee break while working hard.......................... and posted a few messages. Phew  

So not an idle git at all, but a grafter  

[Dr Sadako]

Could both of you keep your flaming at work ... please.  

[smilodon]

This is not flaming.....although it is off topic I'll grant you. I was genuinely curious as to what my matey was up to today.

I like to think of it as idle banter.  

Anyway Dunes problem was that being a massive, complex and basically big brain requiring book, it needed a director who could filter it down to it's core elements and present a coherent concise story in about 2.5 to 3 hrs.

Peter Jackson more or less acheived this with The Tolkein movies, Anthony Minghella did a brilliant job with the English Patient and David Lean created a masterpiece from T.E. Lawrences writings.

(As an aside, Lawrence died from a faulty repair to his motorcycle tyre, that lead to the famous fatal crash. And my Grandad was the very man who bodged up the puncture repair. :!: )

Lynch was simply the wrong man for the job. He can tak a simple story and weave it into a tortuous narative that has you pondering for days, but obvioulsy can't do the opposite. He turned a complex story into a mess.

Kyle MacLachlan being a talentless twat doesn't help either.

Fair point - Lynch is no story teller for the masses.  Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, and Twin Peaks would bear that out.  And Kyle Maclachlan is useless and certainly not fitting for the role of the Kwisatz Haderach.  Alec Newman does a far better job in the mini-series.

P.S. Nice Avatar little buddy  :lol:   I may make you into a convert of the great man Paxton yet  :lol:   But you really need one where he has a moustache.  Or at least a little stubble......

P.P.S.  I was working in East Lahndahn then in Greenwich with my colleague from Legoland

P.P.P.S.  Sadako this isn't flaming - you should be around on a friday afternoon when we're both hacked off with the hurly-burly world of industrial chemicals and thats when the office sets alight  :onfire:

Clearly nothing to do with Farscape but Mullholland Drive was a masterpiece. First time round I was a bit hacked of when it ended but then it occured to me that I had been sat riveted throughout and that it actually made perfect sense to me (I may need professional help here  8O ). Second watching was a delight.

It also has nearly the same name as the movie  Mullholland Falls. Mullholland Falls has not one but two scenes where Jennifer Connolly gets those famous ta ta's out.  :twisted:  :twisted:

Mmmmmmm what a thought. Yummy. Damn those impure lusts. I am filled with godless animal desires.

Bah, fetch my carriage. I must away to Whitechapel and set to at once, cleaning the streets of filth  :evil:

Thats often how I feel after watching Paxton in Tombstone (great tache) or Navy Seals (great tache) or Aliens (great stubble).

Hmmmm, maybe I can find a pretty little substitute for Billy Willy outside the tube station......

Back on topic:  Farscape and Dark Angel - Bah, utter dross.  One is Bad Muppets in space, and the other is shite apart from that latin chick who looks hot when kicking ass in pvc....bet Bill Paxton would look good kicking ass in pvc.....hmmmm......

/chimpy wipes away drool at this point and logs off to be "alone"/
