Life of Pi

they are already making the sequel to this movie. Because of (SPOILER ALERT!) the deaths in the first movie the sequel has an all new cast, and to save money the CGI content will be eliminated and replaced with hand-drawn cartoons. It will be called The Life Of Pinkie Pie. Quick preview here:

My brother loves that show, so do his friends. For some reason the popularity of it is spreading through the 8th grade class at his school. Before I saw the video (read the post on my email), I thought you were serious about the sequel thing. I almost had a heart attack as it seems a movie like this would be ruined by such a thing as a sequel. By the way, thanks for the spoiler alert.

UPDATE: I should be getting the book later today from my town library. I was going to buy it on my Kindle but I feel this is a kind of story you have to have the real book for.
 
I got the book!! It isn't the illustrated version but I'm going to see if the town library has it, this copy is mine- MINE!:D Don't worry, I won't keep posted updates on how I'm doing in the book. I'll probably just tell you when I finish the book and when I see the movie and what I thought of them.

I'm predicting a post sequence of:
ThylacineAlive: "I just finished reading the book. There wasn't even a tiger in it!! :confused:"
nanoboy: "Er, yes there was. :rolleyes:"
ThylacineAlive: "Oh. I skim-read it. :D"
 
When do you think that you will complete the book? I look forward to hearing how the print version compares with the audio version compares with the film compares with the musical.

That sounds like the movie of Les Miserables coming out soon that's based on the play, which is in turn based on the book.

Stop winding up Thylacine. I think that even he knows that Les Miserables is an upcoming movie based on the Japanese cartoon "Chinpoko".

Ah! I thought it was read by van Damme, but you are correct - just checked the file. No wonder I did not understand the "woe be gone" shark phrase.

I hadn't thought of that. It does indeed explain it. I say just as well they didn't get Stallone to read it!!

"Life on a lifeboat isn’t much of a life. It is like an end game in chess, a game with few pieces. The elements couldn’t be more simple, nor the stakes higher" -- now imagine that as a Rambo speech.

When I finish. I usually take a long time to read a book.

@Chlidonias- That was a good one but books definetly aren't something I would skim read.
 
Rambo brings back memories, I was standing in the queue outside the cinema in 1985 ready to see Rambo II with my dad who had given me a new date of birth should anyone question how old I was as I was only 12 at the time. The only duff thing my dad actually did that day was bring along my brother who was 10, this was really pushing it too far for Charlie the guy at the cinema who would kick you out of the queue if you were too young. We never got in despite my fake date of birth seeming quite convincing and my dad arguing in vain that my brother was actually 15 not 10. I had to put up with the Spectrum game version in about 4 colours until the film came out on video.

Rambo is very good in a boat, in the last Rambo film there was a fair bit of boating.
 
I liked in Rambo 3 how Stallone dedicated the movie to the brave Afghani freedom-fighters.....you know, the Taliban :D
 
Yeah, your right there, how ironic hey! they (film makers) where so determined to be anti USSR that it didn't matter who they supported as long as they where against the Russians. Rambo 3 was a bit of a poor show compared to the previous two. The first film was the best of course.
 
the first three were all shown on tv here over the last three weeks. Awesome stuff. The kill count goes from one in First Blood to 69 in Rambo: first blood, part II, to a splattertastic 132 in Rambo III. I'm not sure if they'll play Rambo but the kill count there was 236.

I first saw Rambo (the fourth movie) in a hotel in a town called Miri in Sarawak, and it had been purged of all its violence before airing. The blood-drenched finale of the movie was about one minute long on the tv screening. I kept thinking "I know he just killed somebody, but how did he do it?!"

Well it was not the film makers who were anti-Red at all costs: it was western governments. I am sure you know that the Taliban was funded by America, and trained by guys like Rambo. ;)

A generation from now there might be a huge terrorist attack by Saudis, and we will look back and lament the fact that we bankrolled them, but we will turn a blind eye because they have oil. Oh wait........ :D

I saw Rambo 3 at my cousin's place on a Betamax. (Kids, google it.) But my dad insisted that it was time to leave early, so I did not see the ending for a few years. :mad:
 
The film makers - those who give their money to produce the film would have been anti USSR at the time too I am sure because it was the trend in those days and that was popular in getting big money back on this type of production of film. Whether the producers personal view was anti USSR or not will be unknown, but most people jump on a band wagon, so it probably is fair to say that on the whole everyone was anti USSR.

Betamax, now there is a blast from the past! in the UK when videos came out there was VHS and Betamax, betamax quickly became redundant. When I was a kid, our first video hired from the video shop was Conan the Barbarian.

I think even the Soviets were anti-Soviet back then. :D

The Betamax VCR unit had a remote control - but it was attached to the unit by a wire like a control for an older game console. Does anyone know why VHS won that war? It's a funny story. :D

Try explaining to anyone under 20 that there where once remote controls that were not really remote at all becuse they had a wire running to the TV or Video.:p
