That's so stupid. I enjoyed the book and all, but I don't feel its THAT good. Course if I really thought it was good, then I'd abhor it becoming a movie, so whatev.

the book wasn't good enough for me to be excited about it becoming a movie. the general trend is: books getting turned to american movies = book lovers in theatres going 'wrong. WRONG! WTF, mate?! Hey you missed an important bit!!'
Eragon had way too many pages for the stuff that actually gets accomplished, I feel. Don't remember much, it was high school when I read it. Wasn't impressed enough to go on to Eldest. If all would-be authors had parents in the publishing business, I'd be terrified of Gina making good her immodest claim that given ten years she could write on par with Tolkien.
the only way I'd be in a theater showing it would be because someone paid me to escort the bratling.

While I agree with you pretty much to the letter, I have to say that he did expand beyond his 12 year-old writing in eldest.

Hey, I say let the young writer-man earn money. Maybe, just maybe, it'll encourage more of us young and useless to try our hands at literary success. I have yet to read the book, but I own a copy somewhere and intend to read it before the movie, that way I can complain about the differences. That, way, I can quote Comic-book Guy and say "Worst movie ever"

You want to try your hand at literary writing? fictionpress.net, fanfiction.net. build a fanbase. Become the next Cassandra Claire, but don't get caught plagiarizing or trawling for material tokens of praise.
Yet another instance of 'If you copy from one person, it's plagiarism. If you copy from several people it's 'research'.'
The book is way too simple for them to justify missing things. It really is. But I have no doubt it will happen. I wonder if Quincy has read it yet... I may be able to escape.

its also like. . . 3 games or something What's funny is the game is just a stripped down coppy of the Lord of the Rings game with different characters and less plot (at least from what I've heard). Seems even EA knows something bad when they see it.

That or EA just doesnt know how to make a good game out of a bad movie. Wait... let me rephrase. Maybe EA doesnt even know how to make good games at all.

Hey, Timesplitters: Future Perfect is a fun EA game. Just about the only one, but hey, statistically, its possible that they'd produce a fun game with how many they churn out.

Those made by Maxis are pretty good even though they are under the EA banner.

I just looked at my TS2 box and theres nothing about EA on it, so I'd imagine they got the majority of it by buying the company that made it.
