    i read that recently and was amazed at how much longer they are and how much more detail they go into with the books.

     

    yeah, fantastic read ! always been a fan.

     

    edit: of course they go into more detail, just didn't know that they were way longer. whatever. i need to start smoking pot or something.

    you've already given the company validation by referring to them as an acronym, and now you are advertising their product.

    to answer your question: "BK" knows (we're) idiots.

    Jodorowsky was going to make Dune, but funding fell through. According to AJ, it was because the investors thought the movie was too French. It was going to star Orson Welles as baron Harkonnen, Salvador Dali as the emperor, and Mick Jagger as Paul (although I can't find where I read about Mick Jagger -- I know I heard this somewherE).

     

    Then, ironically (maybe not really) Ridley Scott was going to do it, but had to delay due to a death in the family and ended up doing Blade Runner.

     

    The thing is, they got heavily into preproduction. A lot of the artwork was "borrowed" for other films, including Star Trek and Alien (and, yes, Lynch's Dune).

     

    BTW the Dune thing was what lead to all of the Jodorowsky graphic novels he did with Moebius.

    Oh sweet jesus. This sounds great, I'm going to go out hunting for more info now.

    yep, and it's a good thing, because the Jodorowsky version of Dune was gonna be like 10 hours long or some shit. i don't know about anyone else, but i can barely watch El Topo or Holy Mountain as it is.

    didn't read thread, sorry.

     

    however...

     

    a friend and i had an awesome idea for an Alien prequel movie, but more likely, (because of Newt's actress being older now) an Alien prequel video game.

     

    so, the story would unfold from Newt's perspective, right where her parents and brother were killed by the Aliens when they found that spaceship. and, since she was the sole survivor of her entire colony, it would be the story of Newt avoiding the Aliens until the end of the game where Ripley finds her underneath the floorboards in her safehold in the colony. the gameplay would be entirely defense based. Newt would brave the architecture of the alien-riddled colony for food and water without the use of weapons or technology in any sense, while her friends and neighbors would be picked off one by one. it would be an entirely strategy-driven game/movie, etc.

    er that's slightly rich coming from you :wink:

    why

    ha i'm sure you know what i'm talking about though... nothing 'real fan'ish about it. i don't think it's an exclusive club obviously and i'm always trying to turn people on to his music (hence the previous couple of zappa threads i've made)... but go read the zappa.com forum and tell me it doesn't make you slightly depressed. i think the boc forum analogy is pretty apt... i'm not half the boc fan that i'm to zappa, but going there just somehow taints them and attracts certain sort of people.

    all forums are depressing, i couldn't handle more than one.

     

    WATMM works for me because it's uniquely an ambiguous collective for a niche scene.

    recently read The Road by Cormac McCarthy, my favorite book ever.

    then Outer Dark by McCarthy.

    then To The White Sea by James Dickey, which i loved.

     

    and just finished Diary by Chuck Palahnuik, and i didn't think i'd like it when first into it, but it's grown on me and i think about it quite often.

     

    i have a few choices, all of them i am equally excited about:

     

    Mosaic Man by Ronald Sukenick

    Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy

    the Miles Davis Autobiography that Vasquez sent me that i've heard much about from many people since getting it... edit: wait, i don't remember if it was Vasquez or someone else... shit !
