I'll be honest, there has been quite a while since I've seen it. A rewatch is probably in order, but I loved it the last time I saw it.

Modern art is full of crap, but The Fountain was beautiful to look at and a great fable about love and loss. I loved it. I can understand that people hate it, but I absolutely positively do not.

Don't watch the trailer. See the film. I have yet to see The Cell, but I can pretty much guarantee that The Fall is better; there's NO CGI, it features some good acting, incredible music and a really sweet story. It's a great, great film.

Oh come on, Sky Captain is awesome. The Fountain is brilliant. And Immortals isn't Tarsem Singh's most beautiful movie; that honor is reserved for The Fall.

Nope, they're working on making it into more seasons. God knows how long they'll keep it going, not to mention how close it'll follow the book.

Well, I'm back on board after the previous, awful, trailer. The book was great, so I really hope this is going to be so as well.

Oh don't worry, the book was much more about characters and growing up than these monsters. While reading the book you can easily miss some of them, if you're not paying attention.

They try that in the book. It doesn't work too well. Basically, it's more of a bubble than a dome.

I don't know, guys. This trailer put my hopes back. Sure, it's not exactly the same - these runner zombies for instance are incredibly stupid - but this trailer at least tips its hat to the original book, by having him go all over the world and talk to various people.

More like "sink his island", right? RIGHT?!

You think a movie's going to change that?

I agree about Alcide, but get him involved with the interesting storylines, with characters we care about.

I'm looking forward to this season, actually. Last season managed to get some new mysteries and plates spinning and serve up some good insanity as well as half a decent cliffhanger, so maybe this is the season everything snaps into place and becomes a twisty mess of insanity, blood and humping?

I've read it too and it's much more gothic - sort of a mix of Catcher in the Rye and gothic fiction, only I hated Catcher in the Rye and loved this.

Don't remember which book it was or if I've read it, but I came over a book which was about a "half-made world" and the fight for who was going to take over the rest of the world and decide how it looked, with the sides being religion, science and such. That's a pretty original idea from my standpoint.

I was making fun, and judging, the book because of its one hundred percent lack of originality. The premise of the book reads like a checklist.

There are indeed plenty of good books that use all these tropes, but they rarely include all these tropes in the premise and they most certainly don't nearly "list" them as a checklist.

You really could, but we're not talking about television. No doubt media and storytelling today is procedural and check-list-based, but at least tv-shows try to have original parts that mix them up - Castle is fun with a crime writer, Criminal Minds only go after serial killers, etc.

Man, market-oriented writing sucks. I mean, sure, it's good that things like Percy Jackson gets to be huge successes and such, but when it becomes just a cash-hog without a shred of originality and a different premise... Count me out too. :/

Oh most definitely.
