You're part of the problem, PD. Purposefully get into an accident so you never make it to the movie theater. Do not fund this movie!

I agree with Cajole.  May a horrible and fiery accident kill you and all the children you transport to this movie.

Well, I was hoping that PD would make the decision on his own, but I wouldn't have a problem if God did it for him.

I have no choice. I took them all to see Superman Returns and POTC2 last time. Obviously Eragon won't be as good as those movies but I'm thinking it won't be utterly terrible. I refuse to read the book though, especially after I saw an article about how many names from Star Wars/Lord of the Rings are essentially stolen and used by Eragon's author, but with different spelling.

My roommate and I were watching the foosball earlier and there was a trailer for this.  I told him, "You know, this movie SHOULD have me excited.  I like the genre and want to watch movies like this, but this just looks like poop."

Why am I not surprised that PD is geared up for it?  :lol :lol

It's probably the worst book ever written.  That's including TVC's dreadful Smurfs fanfic erotica novel entitled, "Smurfing Interrupted".

It's ok, Willco.  You know that TVC and I are going to both save and revolutionize the modern film industry with the forthcoming "BLACK CALIGULA."  Yeah, I decided that it should be in all caps, much like INLAND EMPIRE.

I applaud him for taking arguably two of the most well known universes, Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, and somehow molding them into a manufactured piece of pop trash that has managed to sell millions.

But I also hate him equally as much.

My brother got pissed when I burst his bubble about Eragon.

Phoenix: He just takes names from Lord of The Rings, mis-spells them, and creates crap.
Brother: That's not true!
Phoenix: Arya? Arwen? Aragorn? Eragon?
Brother: NO NO NO. Eragon is not like Aragorn. It's "Dragon" just jumbled up
Phoenix: Um...there is no D in Eragon...so how could it be "Dragon" jumbled up?
Brother: ...bitch!

I know that the first book was really fucking popular.  I'm not sure if it hit number one on the NYT best sellers list, but it was one of those books that lingered towards the top of the charts for months.  I think the second book had a lukewarm reception, but I'm sure there were enough hardcore elite to at least give it the numbers it needed to be big.

The two losers are R2-D2 and C-3PO. They even get caught and put into a crowded group of other slaves like with Jawas and the scene is filmed almost EXACTLY as the jawa stuff.

But yeah, its no remake. Very much inspired by though.  Hell, Mifune was supposed to play Obi-Wan.

Ah, but does it, though? If you're not going to ever pay to see the movie, but download the cam shot version... think about it. (Also, I'm on your side). That's why I hate it when the MPAA says this will with 100% certainty hurt sales; they don't know that.

Yes he would have. Lucas wanted him for it but I don't think Mifune wanted/could make time for it.  Alec Guinness was fantastic but imagining Mifune in A New Hope.... :-\ it would have made the movie even better.

This AD&D nonsense is not blockbuster material.  It may take #1 for the weekend because of heavy marketing, but it won't be breaking the low 20s. Charlotte's Web and The Pursuit of Happyness will pull people away from this, and hopefully one of them will snag the #1 spot.  Even the dancing penguins and Bond still pose a threat.

Horrible reviews don't help things: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/eragon/ (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/eragon/)

Eragon: 13%
Pursuit of Happyness: 61%
Charlotte's Web: 84%

Will Smith's 'Pursuit Of Happyness' #1 Friday; 'Eragon' #2, 'Charlotte's Web' #3; Mel Gibson's 'Apocalypto' Falls to 5th

"Clearly, the holiday spirit is ruling the box office. I'm told Sony's The Pursuit Of Happyness, even playing in less theaters than the competition, pit Will Smith (and his real-life son) against a dragon and spider and won No. 1 with big receipts Friday of $9 million for what's expected to be a $27.5 mil weekend."
