`  == No Country for Old Men (film) ==  Erik, I'm compiling full text of reviews and analyses  for this film. You're welcome to it if you're looking for source material (I'm still organizing and adding to it, so bear with me). What did you think of I Am Legend? |    Just saw Legend, and last act wasn't as bad as some have maintained. It was a given they'd never go down the route of the novel, with either the plot or the ending, not with a $150 million budget, and arming oneself with that knowledge should have enabled one to try to enjoy the film for what it was. And what it was, was perfectly adequate. Ultimately more a War of the Worlds than a Children of Men, it nevertheless features some reasonable jump-scares enlivened by some a couple of nice shots (the quick cuts to the SnorriCam as Smith legs it from the CGI beasties) and a well-constructed (if derivative) NY playground. In summary then: not shit. 6/10.    ()   == I Am Legend ==  Has it been captioned yet, so you can see it?      Yeah, the comment could have been lifted straight from the talk page for Golden Compass, and the change appeared on my watchlist right above one for that, so it's not surprising the conflation occurred, as any religious allusions in I Am Legend are likely pretty vague, and I'd just been tidying some of the usual stuff from the Compass article. Best regards,    ()   :With Ghost Busters vs. Ghostbusters, I figure we go for what people generally know it as, though truth be told, either would be fine with me. Both should definitely be mentioned in the lead, however. And yeah, it's been a good holiday. How about you? I'm still largely off-Wiki until next week, but I'm managing to find more time these last couple of days to pop in to check on things. Best regards,    ()   ::I had a detailed response at my parents, but their internet crapped out (computers are crashing left and right near me..lol). Anyway, it boiled down to me liking the last half and asking you want you didn't like specifically about Anna and the boy. What are your thoughts on the new Dark Knight trailer? There was a scene where Ledger is in the cell and he's basically smacking his lips together...it reminded me a lot of Nicholson's Joker.      :::Trust me, I won't read the book...and if I do it will be far down the road and I won't remember being spoiled. The trailer wasn't captioned?! That sucks. He has a line, where Batman is on the batcycle and is driving at him. He says something to the idea of ``come and get me``, and that reminded me of Nicholson when Batman was bearing down on him with the batwing. Makes me wonder how may references and allusions to Burton's ``Joker`` they'll make. I'm working on the new computer. I'm supposed to go to the Geek Squad to appease my mother's mind, then, hopefully, her and I will sit down over the phone and build the same computer online. This way, when we get to the end we can see who will get the better interest rate. I'm still going to pay for it, but if she gets a better rate then she's going to order it and have the bills come to me. So, hopefully in a week (2 at the most) I'll be back online in a fuller capacity. I still need to sit down and watch that Fight Club commentary for you as well. Did you want the ``writers commentary`` first?      ::::See, for me I liked the fact that they were less ``vampiric``, because that has become so cliched nowadaysespecially with 30 Days of Night most recently in theaters. I thought it was interesting that the person that invented the ``cure for cancer`` was a woman, but her ``cure`` turned out to be the cause of the extinction of humankind. I wonder if there are any feminists outraged out there. lol. Especially since it was a ``man`` that was left to ``fix`` the mess. The dog reminded me of my own dog, except a bit more obedient and protective. I think this is a case where I like the changes from what your described, because it adds a scarier touch to the idea of total isolation. I mean, you can see the evolution of the ``dark seekers`` in the movie, which was obviously taken from how Anna was an evolved ``vampire`` in the book (as you described). I think with the changes it manages to give people that read the book a chance to see something different, but in the same vein as the book itself. I'm only doing it for my mother's sake. They say they have a ``two day turn around`` with diagnostics. I figure having them say ``this is the problem``, probably won't change my mind on getting a new computer. Basically, my current (dead) computer couldn't handle Windows Vista. I know there are kinks in Vista, but there were kinks in XP, and everything newespecially gamesare becoming more and more ``Vista only``. I figure, I'll buy a better computer (with better RAM, graphics card, and more Hard drive space) with Vista...and if I have too many problems I'll just take their free downgrade to Windows XP. I figure, it's better to get Vista now, and if need be downgrade for free, than to get XP initially and have to buy Vista afterwards.      == Fight Club CE ==  Hey Erik (btw wow, quick response to the giroux comment),  I've pretty much finished ce for grammar, style, and flow. The article was already so well-written and so thoroughly sourced that it was a pleasure (and relatively easy) to copyedit. Your input/cooperation was absolutely invaluable. If you make any significant additions to the article and would like me to help out, or if you have future articles that are languishing on the LOCE request page, don't hesitate to drop me a line. Again, thanks for the fun copyedit and happy editing!    :So when would you like your FAC?     == Notability and The Hobbit ==  Wikipedia:Notability (films) is a guideline, not a policy. Considering the success of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, I don't understand why there isn't an article for this future film. There are plenty of reliable sources and press coverage. Guidelines are there to help us, they are not to be followed mechanically or to stop us having useful articles.    :Thank you for your quick reply ). Given the precedents of Spider-Man 4 and Jurassic Park IV, I'm not going to argue any more. Perhaps the merged content could be moved into an article that would be about all Tolkein-derived films (the animated LOTR and the trilogy).         is wishing you a Merry Christmas! This greeting (and season) promotes WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by wishing another user a Merry Christmas, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Don't overdo it on the fudge!     Spread the Holiday cheer by adding {{subst:}} to their talk page with a friendly message.   == The Other Side ==  Hey Erik, and Merry X-mas! The reason that I reverted your post was because on IMDb it says, it started filming in November. I mistakenly said October in the edit summary, though. If I was mistaken, let me know!      Hey, sorry for the late response. I must of read it wrong, my mistake. Sorry for any inconveniences!  Cheers,   06
