LOST! Was that a trip or what? - Peter - 02-17-2006

JimBow, you seem like a great guy, and yes Starship Troopers wasnt as bad as it has been painted BUT...you like The Keep? If I hadnt read the book I wouldnt have known what the hell was going on and cos I had read the book I hated it. Still, my favourite film is still Conan The Barbarian so what do I know.

I hadn't read the book, and I knew what was going on. Of course it wasn't as good as the book. How could it be.

But when I watched it the second time (several years after the initial viewing), I noticed that it was based on a novel by this guy named F. Paul Wilson ....... so I decided to read the book ...... yada yada yada ..... here I am.

So we can blame your presence on the board on Michael Mann? Big Grin

But its way better than the book. The book bored me to tears.

Hells Yeah!!!! It's your blame, though, not mine. I don't "blame" them. I liked the movie, remember? :p

Didn't like the movie, but love the author! I guess we'll always have that in common. That and math! Wait, I suck at math!?

Okay, I liked the movie, even bought it on VHS years ago. I noticed that the movie was based on the book by FPW.....and like some of you, got hooked into a great author. I've just finished reading (and 3 re-reads it seems) the Adversary series. Silly of me to loose track of some of the older books. Took me a while and some money to get them back. Needless to say.......I will keep them safe now. Nothing like re-visiting a book to remind you of a thread you forgot about.
