DragonLance the DVD... Rated NC17?

[Agamon]

Hmmm... Emma Watson as Goldmoon, that girl who did Gilly as Tika and Fleur Delacouer as Laurana?

The idea has merit.

Gilly = Tika? Huh? Hopfully that girl does a lot of growing and has tremendous acting range...

Tika was basically a wide-eyed small-town girl who grew during the circumstances, but the character never had much need of acting ability in the Chronicles.

I re-read the Chronicles two years ago, and they weren't... quite what I remembered. The acting range you usually see in The OC or Smallville would be more than adequate for that.

And the girl who plays Nymphadora Tonks is Kitiara. Yeah, we can age her up a bit but she's stil have to be a beauty ... in en evil sense of the word.

Actually, I think the girl who plays Ravenclaw's Luna Lovegood as Goldmoon. Emma Watson is our Golden General.

What I meant was, the characters act very differently, an actor would need good range to pull off both roles well.

And, besides, writing level in a book does not necessarily equate how well it is acted. The Heinlein movies come to mind...

Nah, Luna's actor wasn't nearly pretty enough to be either Goldmoon or Laurana.

Interesting. I thought the problem with casting Evanna Lynch in the role of Luna was that she was *too pretty*. Though brilliantly acted, I thought she was so attractive, the romance sub-plot that Harry ends up in makes no sense, given the presence and availability of Luna as portrayed in the film.

Weepy Cho over Loopy Luna? I'm taking Luna

She's far too young for Goldmoon, in any event.

 

[Ranger REG]

Nah, Luna's actor wasn't nearly pretty enough to be either Goldmoon or Laurana.

She's pretty enough for a 15-year-old, much like Heidi Klum at that age. She'll be prettier when she's 21.

I said future casting, not near-future casting.

I got that. But I don't see the actor growing into a beautiful woman. By now, most of her looks have settled.

Plus, she's 17.

 

[Zaukrie]

My sons have watched the trailer, and it doesn't appeal to them at all, and one of them has read the books about 5 times. Bad is bad, for any reasonably aged person. I'm not sure I'd pay $1 to own the DVD.

 

[David Howery]

hmm... parts of it look mildly interesting... but more parts of it look just awful.

I'll wait to buy it when it hits Walmart's $5 rack....
