| Quote: | | start with Starship Troopers. Now imagine that instead of being written by a veteran of WWII (as Robert Heinlein was), image that book being re-written by a writer who survived Vietnam (as Haldeman did). So imagine even sicker combat training. Even more brutal combat sequences. Even doper powered armor. And all this with none of the moral clarity of Starship Troopers. Instead of that holy, xenophobic zeal, imagine that the soldiers are haunted by feelings of confusion about why they're fighting and the aliens that they're killing, even as they kill them in ever more elaborate, insane ways. |
SOURCE
It will be the 1st Sci-Fi flic from Scott in a long time.
Have anyone read this book?. I am DLing it now as audio book, supposed to be a classic. |

Actually Gladiator and Master and Commander are to of my fav movies.
If Crowe would be in it, it would not be a negative thing. But i think he might be to old for a role in this film. I imagine something like Black Hawk Down in space or something. But will listen to the book before I say anything more. |

An excellent book, if a little dated. If they adapt the entire trilogy this could be something special!

Those are my fav 2 movies of crowe as well, but i think those are the only movies he's good in. The rest ive seen him in, he's crap.

Well, he deserved an Oscar for the Insider and for Beautiful Mind much more than for Gladiator, that's for sure.

Winner:

Other Nominees:
# Before Night Falls (2000) - Javier Bardem
# Cast Away (2000) - Tom Hanks
# Pollock (2000) - Ed Harris (I)

It's more about money and politics than it is about acting anyway.

In both years, it's like a one huge "What!?" 2000 Academy Awards should have gone to either Crowe or Washington. 2002 should have gone to either Crowe or Penn. |

Don't really see the atrocity in any of those wins, but then again I'm not interested in the oscars. An award show based on whether or not you buy alot of ads to win it is bafflingly lame.
8 out of 10 dentists prefer zipfero to competing brands(fraich3 and Mutantius)!

yep seen em all and I dont find him interesting. Like he's very....i dunno whats the word...lacks charisma and emotion i guess you could say.
He's nothing like Clive Owen (that guy is the worst, tho Children of Men was cool) but still, i dont prefer him.
Why is it you guys have trouble accepting someone else has a different opinion. When I say he's crap obviously i mean I think he's crap. Obviously there are ppl who like him. Im just one of the former, but I dont like him. |

but that makes no sense because ive seen them all....when im giving my opinion on someone and what i think of them is different than you telling me I havent seen movies that I have.
You could find say George Carlin not funny at all, and I could. Same thing....lol |

it's all about having an opinion and accepting the reality
reality is he was great in movies mentioned above, now that if have some problem accepting that then u just dislike him for some other reason
now if someone said that George Carlin aint funny must be shot in the head with 12 gauge
no questions asked
