In Reply to: Re: Poll: Movies in which repeated viewings are required. posted by Pam on July 20, 2000 at 21:14:18:
This would indeed make a good film: vivid, interesting characters and a plot structure that would lend themselves very well to film. I've read a three act play based on Miller's book (forgot the author's name), and I'd be surprised if there weren't at least a film treatment or two.Now let's hope Kevin Costner has nothing to do with the project!
Yes, indeed it would... could even make a nice serial like Centenial since it goes from something like the dark ages to the beginning of space travel. Maybe even make a good anime OVA series... something like a cross between Record of the Lodoss War and Please Save My Earth. Watcher's of the Dark would make a good series too only as sort of a serious comedy... sort of an intergalactic Mike Hammer thing. Oh, another film to add to the view more than once list "The Name of the Rose"
as one's that I absolutely had to see again because I missed so much on the first go around:The Name of the Rose
McCabe and Mrs. Miller (still haven't seen enough of this one)
and who hasn't watched it every time it comes on:
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
I had to go and buy the script for this last one. I've found that in situations where I'm about to be dissed, slapped, beaten or killed, a few lines from this film are better than anything the NRA is protecting:
"Stop!
Who approacheth the Bridge of Death
Must answer me
These questions three!
Ere the other side he see!"Ask me the questions, Bridgekeeper. I am not afraid.
"What is your name?
"My name is Sir Robin of Camelot!
"What is your quest?
"To seek the Grail!
"What is the capital of Assyria?
...
My favorite from Python is Tim... he has such a blast blowing up the country side... then there's the scene with the monks and the holy hand-grenade of Antiock (^0^).Kinda ended like a Mel Brooks film though (always seemed he was great as starting a film but never quite knowing how to end it gracefully).
