the ultimate mindfuck movie

[Ihreil Junkenstein]

It' wouldnt surprise me. how did they stech the thing out for at least 100mins? Was it just really slow?

 

[LORD_RED_DRAGON]

The "iliad" Was Only A Few Events Durring Last Few Weeks Of Trojan War
What Would Have Made A Better Movie Is The Amazing Explination Of Why The War Started In The First Place
I Have This Story In One Of My Mythology Books

 

[Ihreil Junkenstein]

WHAT?
That was one of the most intricate romance/war/heroism/tragedy tales of the ages!
HOw can you improve it?
An a lot of background is given in the notes to my version.

 

[LORD_RED_DRAGON]

Notes Toa Movie????

 

[a guy...]

Yeah the whole "figure-out-the-mystery-of-Grendel" ploy, Grendel killing a bunch of guys, etc. etc. until the final battle.

 

[LORD_RED_DRAGON]

Notes To A Movie Still Sounds Kinda Weird

 

[a guy...]

No, notes to the book.

 

[LORD_RED_DRAGON]

U Mean Like "cliff's Notes"????

 

[Ihreil Junkenstein]

A short stroy streched to fuck
Jonny nmonic(?) anyone?

 

[a guy...]

U Mean Like "cliff's Notes"????

Probably more like an appendix at the back of the book.

 

[LORD_RED_DRAGON]

Wouldn't U Need An Introduction In The Front Of The Illiad

 

[LORD_RED_DRAGON]

Or Did U Mean An Appendix At The End Of Beowolf???

 

[a guy...]

No I think he was saying an appendix at the end of Iliad.

 

[LORD_RED_DRAGON]

Yeah Ok But Wouldn't U Want An Introduction In The Front Of The Illiad To Explain The Bizzare Events That Lead Up To The Stuff On The First Page????

 

[a guy...]

Yes, as do I think that most classics should have introductions if we're reading the way they spoke a hundred years ago. I read a bunch in a college class and even with all that help they were still hard to read.

 

[LORD_RED_DRAGON]

They Were Hard To Read Cuz U Have To Go Back And Learn About The Universe That The Stories Take Place In

 

[a guy...]

Iliad and Odessey take place on Earth...Dragon you make my head spin!

 

[LORD_RED_DRAGON]

And There Is A Distinct Cronological Order To The Stories With Details That Will Drive U Crazy If U Try To Read Them In The Wrong Order The Norse Stories Are Much More Self Contained And U Don't Have To Learn Nearly As Much About The Universe That The Stories Take Place In These Are The Reasons That The Norse Myths Seem "hollow" If U Have Already Devoted A Freakishly Huge Amount Of Time To Understanding The Greek Ones I My Self Just Don't Have That Kind Of Free Time Or Attention Span

 

[LORD_RED_DRAGON]

No When I Say "universe" I Just Mean The Background Info That Would Be Nessissary To Understand What U R Reading As In The Phrease "star Trek Universe"

 

[Ihreil Junkenstein]

Yeah that five minutes before the book is a real bitch.
