Peter Wrote: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.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
~ Howard Phillips Lovecraft
