Ender's Game

[CaptainWacky]

I don't care about this movie and I'll probably never read the book knowing that the author is a hateful lunatic, but I do enjoy Harrison Ford's disdain for all humanity.

I liked the kid's nervous twitch when he paused to let HARRISON FUCKING FORD speak.

I downloaded a sample of the book which I was thinking of reading after I finish Chapterhouse, but what's the author been hatefilled about?

 

[CaptainWacky]

He's a raging homophobe.

The kid was the original Mordred on Merlin REMEMBER.

And also the book is fascist apologia.

I liked the book, I've read several in the series. That was before I found out about the raging homophobia. I still think the first 3 books are worth reading. Buy them used, or creatively download them IMO.

I won't make any effort to see the movie. I haven't liked anything Harrison Ford has been in in a very long time.

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

The last good movie he was in was The Empire Strikes Back.

You forgot when he pops his finger in Working Girl.

 

[CaptainWacky]

What about The Fugitive he jumped off a waterfall or something.

I quite liked Witness actually.

I also liked the first two books, then it sort of became Ender travels a bit and becomes a brain. Like 5 Go Mad in outer space or something.

 

[CaptainWacky]

What about Air Force One he was all "GET OFF MY PLANE" but they were in the air!

The Empire Strikes Back (1980) was released before Blade Runner (1982), making this statement factually incorrect.

At least we all agree those Indiana Jones movies were terrible!

Can the first novel be read on its own? I mean, does it feel like a complete story at the end? After reading the Dune series I want to read a standalone novel. It's either Enders Game or Cloud Atlas.

Only the last one was terrible. And that was mainly due to Shia LeBeef.

Yeah, you can just read Ender's Game.

Here's the actual trailer I guess.

Explosions, BWAMMMMs, etc.

 

[CaptainWacky]

FIRE EVERYTHING!

I like how the trailer is basically saying "haha, Asa Butterfield hasn't been nominated for an Oscar!"

 

[Cassie]

Based on that trailer, it looks like they're only loosely basing it on the book.

I liked Speaker for the Dead when I read it as a child, but I feel like I completely missed whatever message it was trying to convey.

Gay Nazi Monkey Porn is a good thing.

It's subtle, but it's there and you BELIEVE.
