duckophilia?

Clearly groggs, your standard for filmmaking has been raised to unreasonable proportions by the Rusty Saga. If you would just sit through "Howard" again (at least 3-4 times), read the original comics (again 3-4 times) and buy the merchandise, you should be able comeback to the film with a fresh perspective

Marathon man (1976): 8/10 Well paced and interesting all through the movie. The acting is pretty spot on with Laurence Olivier really taking the cake as zvell. For the most part i don't care Olivier (of what i'v seen) but he made such an intimidating and fascinating villian here. The are some convoluted plot points here and there but overall, its good stuff.

I probably won't unless gets a Best Picture nod.

with 10 nominations you might as well reserve your ticket now, unless G-force happens to beat it out (watch that too, just to be sure).

I have read Three Musketeers as well along with a portion of Montecristo in grade school. Couldn't agree with you more, Dumas never bores even when a piece is as long and near plotless as Musketeers. Had the great honor of performing as Athos in the Ken Ludvig adaptation of the work (not an apaptation i care for but i fantastic opportunity nonetheless)

I'm gonna have to read The Vicomte of Bragelonne eventually but it's such a long book ive been putting it off for ages

I'm reading Blood Meridian after hearing CJ and Whalestoe talk about it. So far it's really fantastic stuff, Probably one of the only books i really love out of the last 50 years.

anyone get that 50th aniversary edition? I just got it on saturday and I'm not entirely sure which version i want to watch. I've already seen the restoration and i wonder if the other two versions are worth my time.
