    Making a film so bland and forgettable but still one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen is a feat.

        I loved everything about that move but the main two. It’s like this highschool dweeb has an uncle that owns a movie studio and talked him into using it to woo his hot crush by casting her in a realization of love plot. Every character other than the horny dweeb and the chick that really doesn’t want to bang him rocks their part and the plot is such a great concept and the graphics are tearjerkingly beautiful, and somehow none of it makes up for the two dinguses that hog the screen.

          oh it didn’t occur to me that there would be a book it’s based on. im putting the first book on my wish list

          usually the books hollywood puts through the grinder have much better stories and make me appreciate the films less

          notable exception is lord of the rings, where the films were better than the books and maybe the new dunes as well
