[QUOTE=Cocaine;17745123]can't compare the two

it was just a way of me saying you have bad taste basically. im going to sleep now, just finished American Gods. It was well written but the metaphor was stupid. I still enjoyed it.[/QUOTE]

thought it really fizzled at the end tbh

Tyler 01-10-2010 01:16 AM

There was about a three month period where i stopped reading it because the whole tv/internet thing was retarded and forced but the i realized it was well written enough for me not to care.

The end was good, I found. The 'twist' was kind of stupid, I guess, and again a little forced and blatant, but the epilogue with Hinzelmann was awesome and the post-script in Iceland was cool too. Plus I appreciate how well researched it was.

I think I'll read the Road next, but I can already see myself getting frustrated by McCarthy's lack of punctuation. The first page is like a non-stop onslaught of run on sentences.

my stepsister got me this book House of Leaves as a belated xmas gift, im excited to read it

Deth 01-10-2010 01:18 AM

There was some really cool stuff in American Gods, but I was like you, I put it down for a long time. It was generally likable enough on the whole seemed to hit a few too many cliches on the way.

No real interest in checking out Anasi [sic prob] Boys anyway

New Kick *** trailer is out. McLovin is such a terrible casting choice.

AA-12 01-10-2010 01:20 AM

im so pumped for that movie

Jacaranda 01-10-2010 01:21 AM

the more i think about the last two kick *** the more i think its retarded. the rest was enjoyable for the most part. i liked the whole gay prostitute/gay thing

Tyler 01-10-2010 01:21 AM

i donno, the casting is awful. the main character doesn't seem right, i dont like the tone of the trailers (but the red band one was okay) and McLovin couldn't be further off from how Red Mist was in the comics.

Ultimately though it comes down to the absurd violence, which based on the hit girl red band, is gonna still be there. They arent very good books outside of their absurdity.

I'm more excited for Scott Pilgrim, both the movie and the sixth volume.

AA-12 01-10-2010 01:23 AM

casting is fine

as long as its a fun and silly movie then im down

Deth 01-10-2010 01:23 AM

read an issue an a half of Kick *** and then never had any desire to associate with it again

TimJim 01-10-2010 01:25 AM

wait kick *** isnt one of those lame knockoff movies like meet the spartans?

Deth 01-10-2010 01:25 AM

uggggggggggggh

AA-12 01-10-2010 01:26 AM

Jacaranda 01-10-2010 01:27 AM

[QUOTE=TimJim;17745157]wait kick *** isnt one of those lame knockoff movies like meet the spartans?[/QUOTE]

i read some scott pilgrim and idk i dont like.

AA-12 01-10-2010 01:28 AM

wanted was sooooooo badass

Deth 01-10-2010 01:29 AM

you better not be talking about the movie

TimJim 01-10-2010 01:29 AM

never saw it

AA-12 01-10-2010 01:29 AM

[QUOTE=Deth;17745170]you better not be talking about the movie[/QUOTE]

yup

Deth 01-10-2010 01:30 AM

too many bad opinions on mx tonight later dudes

AA-12 01-10-2010 01:32 AM

dont lie it was an awesome action movie

Jacaranda 01-10-2010 01:34 AM

comic didnt translate well.

or at all really in that movie.

Tyler 01-10-2010 01:35 AM

wanted was awful

ultimate x-men is the only millar that doesn't suck in some way. Kick-*** is a fun read but I fully acknowledge that's it's fluff and in the end not very good fluff at that.

Tyler 01-10-2010 01:38 AM

yeah josh that's a perfect example of why that movie sucked. took a good scene and managed to ruin it

illmitch 01-10-2010 01:40 AM

never even saw the movie

AA-12 01-10-2010 01:40 AM

[QUOTE=Cocaine;17745197]yeah josh that's a perfect example of why that movie sucked. took a good scene and managed to ruin it[/QUOTE]

if only it was deeper and more thought provoking

Tyler 01-10-2010 01:41 AM

or less terrible

i mean did you miss the part where i said his best work was a ****ing x-men series?

Jacaranda 01-10-2010 01:41 AM

i saw half until i realized it wasn't shia lebouf playing the main guy

AA-12 01-10-2010 01:44 AM

fluff is fluff. the movie was dumb fun and had a lot of cool scenes.

and what does millar have to do with any of this
