Disclaimer: I'm a huge Star Wars fan and very much dislike Paolini's BS, the complete opposite of oogiezone. How anyone can dislike Star Wars yet love Paolini's work is beyond me.

If you read all of the second and I believe third page you will see I back up my statement about Anime. I don't like the style. it looks ugly. And I never said he was too old. I have never said that to anyone. I mearly stated in a joking manner that he was an adult and I found it funny for him to watch cartoons, just as most everyone thinks that everyone on this site is weird for playing with Miniatures. But if I'm not allowed to say anything about my dislike of Avatar, then I have every right to call him out on his dislike of Eragon.

I can't help it...I thought the movie was boring and the acting was atrocious and the characters weren't interesting. They had incredible potential, but George Lucas didn't sell me on his vision. Maybe if he wrote a book instead of make a movie, I would have liked it better. That way I could have imagined the characters to be interesting and maybe the story would have captured my attention better. Then again, maybe not...the LOTR books lost me for the same reasons the Star Wars movies did.

Of course this isn't the ideal way to read the series, but I have still enjoyed the books immensely. I did know some of the major plot points that were coming, but not the details so I don't consider myself "spoiled". Also, much of the fun of the Dresden books is in the writing style and characterization (but taking nothing away from the plots) and skipping ahead won't affect that. So bottom line - if #3 is the next book you can find, get it, enjoy it, and come back to #2 when you can. And to keep this slightly on topic, the Inheritance books were easy to read and enjoyable, but nothing to get excited about. I devoured all the Fantasy I could when I was a teenager, but had read very little Fantasy for years before picking up Eragon. It wasn't War and Peace, but as a light read, it was fine. Eldest was a little less enjoyable, but I'll probably try the third book when it comes out. |

I'm curious - by the time you had seen Star Wars had you already read a lot of more recent sci-fi/fantasy books and seen a lot of sci-fi/fantasy movies? The same question goes for Lord of the Rings. A lot of the things that make those two trilogies really outstanding have been so heavily borrowed from by other writers and directors that they now seem a lot more clichéd than they did when the works were fresh. Lord of the Rings completely changed the fantasy genre and Star Wars completely changed the way in which movies were made. They are both pivotal points in the evolution of their respective genres. |

EDIT: I had a whole long post, then changed my mind again. I'll just keep laughing at the monkey-like antics and hold my reasonable response. It would be wasted anyway. http://drakesflames.blogspot.com Drake's Flames, my crassly opinionated game review site. Updates three times a week. |

Thanks for the welcome, Aldin. I have been lurking quietly for a couple of months, and have found this forum to consistently be one of the most helpful and civil message boards I've ever seen. People disagree, sure, but I've never seen it get out of control like most boards or usenet groups do. It really stands out for that. And of course its a GREAT resource for all things Heroscape - I've been loving the custom threads and even entered last week's speed custom contest (mine was the troll with "Crippling Blow" power - playable but pretty run of the mill).
I'm happy to be a part of the group. |
