More to the point, will anyone go to see the Matt Damon film The Great Wall?
So has anyone Seen the Matt Damon Film The Great Wall?
Years ago, I used to go to the movies at least twice a week, but now I go to the cinema, at most, once a month.
There is far more quality on TV these days, IMO, so a movie has to be really compelling for me to go and see it. As for blockbuster movies, CGI has spoiled the spectacle for me and none of them can compete with films like WATERLOO and the old Hollywood epics which featured huge numbers of real people.
I'll now retire back to my porch rocking chair and grizzle at passing teenagers.
Speaking of OTR, I have been listening to the Lives of Harry Lime.
It's really good. Available on Archive.org
I feel as if we've got a whole generation of film makers who can't really make films, or rather can't tell stories in films very well.
They can do action without any trouble, but they can't write films nor scripts nor pace things well. Even with all the fast paced action we get today they cover less story ground than many older films that had a far slower pace and yet were finished in as much or less time.
I think its a failing of the whole machine that builds films from the ground up and at some point its going to have to be fixed. Marvel/DC films are actually prolonging this because they can sort of get away with it. Heck you can even remake them a few times and fans are happy with that as comic books (least in the USA) have done this for so long that the fanbase expects it.
Sorry I took so long to respond!Was it ever adapted to either film or television?
