@ John Channing and Sailor Steve:
It's been a long time since Hollywood made a good film with young girls, ponys and submarines.......But I hear Spielberg is working on one with Tom Hanks as the crotchety sub vet turned ferryboat captain. They say the special effects are awesome. A wonderful mix of Titanic, The enemy below, and Jaws, but with Ponys! The soundtrack is a real "toe tapper" too!

(I stayed up too late last night in Tanker Alley....can you tell?)

As long as it ain't Lucas doing it. He would get all "CGI" with it an lose the story.

Then we'd have to put up with him 'tweaking' it and adding in pointless sections that have little relevance 'lighttorpedoes' anyone?? Didn't think so.

John Channing · 06-05-07, 03:25 PM

Not to mention waiting twenty years for the "prequell" (which would suck).

Did I mention you should read the book?

JCC

ps The book is much better. You should read it.

Hopefully in these times of Hollywood remakes, someone may decide to remake it more to the book........but I doubt it

Of course the pony would be CGI, and talk a lot.

Hey, even a moderator has to cut loose once in a while. Just don't let it go to your head.

John C, you mean to tell me they allowed ponies and girls on subs.... and in that book too. Blasfemy says I. Isn't anything sacred anymore? ... aaargh.

You've seen what Lucas is going to do for the special 6-movie 'Star Wars' re-release, right?

Is the CGI pony named Jar-Jar?

Yes, and the "Greedo shoots first" debacle was about the worst moment in film remaking ever -- disgusting. I mean the real one, not the YouTube version, which I thought was very funny.

Well, I better go read that book.

Next thing you know, we'd be arguing about who rode the pony first...

That wouldn't surprise me at all if it was real, he just can't leave things alone can he?
