The dragon ain't got a lisp, but it's the best one I've seen yet in movies. Now that DVD would be worth twelve bucks! -----Original Message----- From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Astromancer Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 18:11 To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Earthsea ...But I did like the dragon with the lisp...

Danny Glover's underused, Kristin Kreuk just looks concerned and upset, the "hero" is bland, the villain laughable. The FX are only fair. It was frankly not as good as recent fantasy TV miniseries like "Gulliver's Travels" or "The Odyssey". I wasn't at all engaged or excited. They even had the nerve to add a fat guy for comic relief, which didn't work. The only thing that kept it on was the fact I was putting up my Christmas tree and used it for background noise. And I say all this before you even get to the fact that the leads should all have been people of color, not whites, and that Mrs. LeGuin herself spoke out against the change in the characters' racial makeup. They even changed the hero's name, making his secret, magic name the everyday one used by everyone who knew him. -------------- Original message -------------- I can buy this on DVD for about $12.
