Which film are you looking forward to? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Cokies · 10-29-2001, 12:50 AM

There are many event films coming out this season, especially these two, "Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone" and "The Fellowship of the Ring".
Both are adaptions of two insanely popular book series'. Of course, the Harry Potter books have sold over 130 million copies the world over just in the last 4 years. "Lord of the Rings" is widely regarded as the greatest fantasy epic of all time. Always near the top of the 20th Century's best literary works lists.
So, you've probably have seen both trailers, and they both look pretty well done...So I'm asking which one you look more forward to.

I'll start by answering my own question.
It's really a no-brainer, I mean, LotR looks amazing, but I'm a Potterholic. Sorry. Has anyone seen the Quidditch bits? Oh my word!

It's okay, I used to not admit I liked the books and looked forward to the film, but once you realize that you are just one in millions upon millions of people who feel the same way, you're not so afraid being vocal about it.

The weekend of Nov. 16-18th is going to be great! On Friday, I'll see Harry Potter on opening night with a huge group of friends, and then on Sunday I'll watch the FOL reunion. THEN, my birthday is three days after that. I love it! November is looking to be very nice...

From Hell...I've wanted to see that! Lol ever since we went to London last year. We went on this night tour of Jack the Ripper, we saw the places where he murdered people, etc. It was soo interesting. I want to see the movie, but today we were talking about it before school and they said they walked out of the theater halfway through the movie...ahh. I have a pretty strong stomach (disections are my favorite part of school LOL! I think they are sooo cool!) and if in labs we use like pureed liver (we did this lab last week) and everyone was like afraid of it, but I thought it was pretty cool..haha well maybe I will see From Hell sooon, hopefully

Ok, first to Cokies question....

I have never read either of the book series, but from what little I know about them I think I lean towards Harry Potter.

Other movies I am looking forward to are Monsters, Inc. and there was one called like Ice Age or something, I saw the trailer for it and it was absolutely hilarious! I think it's gonna be another Disney computer animated flick.

As for From Hell.....go! I liked it alot. I was very well done, and Johnny Depp is way cool. It is really not all that bad or graphic. There was this one old couple who walked out about 15 minutes into the film, but I think the part they took offense at was the scenes of the prostitutes having sex in the streets. But to that I say they just can't come to terms with reality....because prostitutes did have sex in the streets of London in that time, so if they don't want to face reality, it's their loss. The movie did a great job of showing what life in London at that time was like.

Thanks for the info! I am very squeamish so this might not be for me either!

Actually I mainly want to see it because of Johnny Depp.

lol, well now I am going to feel bad if you get grossed out. Ok, to warn you, there are many scenes where you see women laying in pools of blood, there is one scene where you see a throat cut, and one very bloody scene that involves ol' Jack the R. holding a human heart in his hands. I think that's the worst of it....

I don't feel bad telling you that, it's not like I gave anything away since we all know what Jack the Ripper did. But I wanted to warn you so you don't get pissed if it is too graphic for you! My mom got a little squeamish at parts, but she just put her head down until I said it was ok.
