When you think about it, now would be a great time to make another Mask movie.

I think it would be a lot of fun to be in a TV series or movie where they made action figures of you. I would totally buy some. Like do you think Natalie Portman has a Padmé Amidala (Geonosis Arena outfit with blaster gun) action figure on her shelf next to the Oscar?

I've been gradually reading through the books of Earthsea, just finished The Farthest Shore They're really really good you guys. Le Guin's afterwords are consistently insightful and thought-provoking too.

Jabor posted:I've been gradually reading through the books of Earthsea, just finished The Farthest Shore I absolutely love how she comes back and rethinks aspects of the earlier books in the later ones. Really unique stuff. Imagine the look of horror on the studio execs faces if they commissioned a big budget series based on the first two books and then read the final ones, especially the last act of the final one.

I'll be honest, I think the first book would require a lot of work to make a reasonable TV show out of. There's just so much background information that's really important to understanding the plot, that in the book is revealed as an aside at the moment you need to understand it. You can't do that in a visual medium, so you'd have to write a whole bunch of new scenes to convey that information at appropriate points, and with enough repetition that the audience remembers it at the point where it's relevant to the book plot. Plus (and this one is a challenge with all the books), Le Guin conveys a lot of meaning through telling us how characters think and feel, and how they interpret the things they're seeing rather than just describing the scenes for the audience. It's really tough to translate that into a visual medium in a way that all your viewers will understand. This is especially difficult in the first book, which has a lot of solo adventuring without another character to bounce expository dialogue off. I guess you could take the route of speaking Sparrowhawk's internal monologue, but that's pretty lazy and doesn't make for compelling viewing. If I was screenwriting for this I might even be tempted to start with the Tombs of Atuan, and explore the events of the first book as flashbacks in his dehydrated fever-dreams or something.

saw matrix 4 and that was a boring, a disjointed movie that didn't need to be made and when it WAS made it should have had a better editor to cut it up into something worth watching shame because matrix 1 had such an impact on me when it first came out, what a wet fart end to a series that should have been a single standalone movie i don't ever want to see a movie that has endless clips from previous movies again

are there any writers who are comparable wrt the construction of sentences/paragraphs to Le Guin? her only competition in my mind is Tolkien. her prose glitters like ice
