Just yankin' your chain. I haven't gotten to do that in a long time.
Mind if I yank back?
Paul Verhoven grew up in NAZI occupied Holland.
He kinda played a trick on the viewers of Starship troopers. The earth society was portrayed as totalitarian/authoritarian, and it was never shown or told who started the war. Seems that he was trying to get the viewer to cheer for the NAZIS.
It also seems that he succeeded.
Furthermore, in addition, also, too . . . there were five main characters: Johnny, who was in love with Carmen (a brunette,) Carmen who was in love with the preppy guy, (Zander?) Zander, Dizzy (the blonde) who was in love with Johnny, and Johnnys dopey pal Carl.
Change the names to Archie, Veronica (the brunette), Reggie (the preppie guy), Betty (the blonde), and Jughead . . .
Quote:Actually, there are a couple movies that I like better than the book - The Shawshank Redemption...... and I can't think of the other, but know that I have thought of at least one more. It's rare, but it happens, IMHO.
Matthewsmommy was asking if the five hour production closely followed the book . . . it did.
Have you seen the trailer for the 2005 version of Pride And Prejudice?
If so, did you notice that it was produced by the same people who produced "Love Actually?" Also did you notice that their version of Pride And Prejudice had the same theme music that they used in Love Actually?
Like that music would really go well in a period drama that takes place around 1815.
