A Public Service Announcement about Eragon

| No Comments

Demigoblin, Elanna, and saw Eragon before Christmas. It was really bad. Rather than tell you how bad I'll just share this review one of my friends sent me.

"Saw Eragon last night with Spanish subtitles. Nearly chewed off my arm. That movie sucks. Complete and shameless Star Wars rip off. They could have saved the production cost by taking a cut of Star Wars and superimposing a dragon over the x-wing fighter. Also, you would have to remove the story, dialogue, and direction that Star Wars had. Then you would have Eragon. John Malkovich and Jeremy Irons should be required to hide in shame for at least a year for having been a part of that film. In the last reel, for some bizarre reason, the "princess" was wearing a giant feather on her head. I mean like a native american kind of a feather. Like from a duck's ass. For some reason this struck me as incredibly humorous and I had to really concentrate to keep from laughing very loudly."

Reading

I just finshed Codelia's Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold which is the first book of the Vorkosigan Saga.
Very good book, but the Sci-Fi bits are really secondary to the story.

Right now I'm reading The Lost Fleet Series by John Hemry/Jack Campbell It's sorta Honor Harrington but not really, though Honor Harrington even goes downhill in the later novels.
