Ged’s struggle with Death was the third book. The first book was Ged’s struggle with the arrogance of power. This is another wonderful aspect to Earthsea books that has been forgotten in modern media franchises — although it helps to read them all, each novel is a complete story unto itself.

Nice try at getting hired by the AV club with this regurgitated review but it’s a swing and a miss.

Now I want a 2 hour movie about people navigating a Best Western. 

Aways thought it should've ended after the house blowing up, then a trailer reel of the further adventures of Django. Django fighting racists at the center of the earth, etc

The Dave Foley effect.

I really noticed that in the big shootout at the end in the mansion. Like, I expected an over the top and violent end to the movie, but that shootout went on for so long I was checking my watch.

I didn’t even notice it tbh, I guess I need to rewatch Django with more of an eye on the editing

holy shit, i think i remember that one! the guy with the flute?

WWell, not quite God, but Max Von Sydow has Jesus and the devil (and Ming!) on his resume. So does Victor Garber, at least on Broadway (not the Ming part.)

I know the phrase MY CHILDHOOD IS RUINED is overdone but...

Ooooooooooooooooooh, my god.  That is truly fucking awful.

I clicked this because I love the title. I’m so sick of them trying to get away with calling this “live-action”. 

I always thought Leonard Cohen could have done a killer cover of "Be Prepared".

While watching that comparison, I glanced down at the original version and when I went back to the new version, I thought they had looped the video. When I concentrated only on the new one I realized that they didn’t loop it, it was just incredibly bland and boring.

I saw this movie with my family in the theater. My mom wanted to go because the trailer had some funny moments (as many as the full film, in fact). She apologized to us afterward.

The clear and pure love for The P-Funk in this thread is really helping me get through my day.  Bless y’all.

“I feel like everyone should have that day where the thing that they’ve wanted for a long time actually happens, and it’s the only time in my life that I’ve had that feeling.”

I’ll go ahead and answer your second question: NO, THEY’RE NOT GOING TO DO FUCKING STONEHENGE.

No one’s, it was a bizarre gardening accident.
