Re: Harry Potter remake on HBO
To paraphrase your words back at you, I repeat a line from Robert A. Heinlein's To Sail Beyond the Sunset, i which a young man asks his mother why the video telephones in Kansas City are standard def, while the ones in Dallas are HD. She says, "Donald, whenever someone asks 'why did they?' or 'why don't they'?' the answer is almost always, 'money'."AArdvark wrote: Fri Sep 20, 2024 2:24 pm Why? Two words: Mon-ey

I think the tag at the end would have been better if you said:

TOTO, I DON'T THINK WE'RE IN KANSAS ANYMORE, AND FRANKLY MY DEAR, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN

Given the general rise in expenses and fall in the typical standard of living, the future ain't what it used to be.

I just feel they have already told the story, and did a pretty good job of it. Tell a different story in the HP world (I said this about Star Wars) but make up new unique characters

Well, if it's even half as good as the Amazon series LotR: The Rings of Power then we're in for a real treat!

Why would you have Sauron be an actual character? Huh?!ChainGangGuy wrote: Sun Sep 22, 2024 11:56 am Well, if it's even half as good as the Amazon series LotR: The Rings of Power then we're in for a real treat!

I tried watching the first episode of the LOTR series. I did not enjoy it.

I read that in 8th grade the year I took homeschool. I had read some of the first LOTR book but the Hobbit was much easier to finish. I also really enjoyed reading Hans and the Silver Skates that year.Ice Cream Jonsey wrote: Sun Sep 22, 2024 8:54 pm I think I'm gonna buy a copy of The Hobbit to read to my nephew.

I trird reading Teh Hobbit in school but could not get into it. I was all about sci-fi, fantasy didn't spark up for me. It wasn't until my twenties that I got through it. Then of course I had to read Lord of the Rings.

Re: Harry Potter remake on HBO
Yeah, I haven't been able to get through The Hobbit at all. I don't GET IT, but this kid is going to end up a Chad-level jock without me pushing the nerd and dork angle, so I gotta do what I gotta do.

Re: Harry Potter remake on HBO
I think my biggest motivation for getting through The Hobbit was that it was comparatively easier than trying to accomplish basically anything in the Melbourne House The Hobbit text game (which I had attempted first). I did enjoy it in the end, though.

Re: Harry Potter remake on HBO
Not sure. I tried watch S01E01. Maybe it was the fact that I didnt know any characters? The story wasnt familiar? I dont remember.
