Moby Dick also has a giant spider for a sidekick! We must cover every demographic possible.<BR/><BR/>My grandfather was an alcoholic, so it kinda does sound like they're making his version.<BR/><BR/>Hi, Tom...I recently stumbled onto your blog. I really like it, I added your link. Your Moby Dick pic is amazing.Calebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05869540004263391426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9233790.post-18462422229128214222008-09-26T03:01:00.000-07:002008-09-26T03:01:00.000-07:00Maybe they won't fuck up the novel's perfect openi...Maybe they won't fuck up the novel's perfect opening.kingdomforavoicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13608928960310809091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9233790.post-38720740228122568962008-09-25T20:30:00.000-07:002008-09-25T20:30:00.000-07:00I can see it now, Johnny Depp as Ahab...he'd do it...I can see it now, Johnny Depp as Ahab...he'd do it to XD.<BR/><BR/>I can see that they want to make the 'charismatic' part more like him more like the guys on Deadliest Catch, but dood that's it's a tale of fiction, Ahab is supposed to that demented for a reason. Not to mention there have been many other great adaptations of the book we don't need Timur Bekmambetov's version.Annie-Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06018785192067088406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9233790.post-83115424153982065612008-09-25T09:05:00.000-07:002008-09-25T09:05:00.000-07:00Hey Hollywood- Since you're already pissing all ov...Hey Hollywood- Since you're already pissing all over Melville's classic, why not go for the gold? Here's a few suggestions that will really make it a hit summer blockbuster: <BR/><BR/>1) They should add fart jokes to go after that "tween" audience? It would be hilarious if Ahab had a gas problem every time he got excited. <BR/><BR/>2) Why not make Queequeg a hot woman to appeal to the male audience? Why not Angelina Jolie? As a bonus, this will get rid of the homosexual undertones of Ishmael and Q's friendship that are sure to make the homophobic dudes in the audience squirm.<BR/><BR/>3) Now that Queequeg is a woman, they can add a love story to appeal to the female audience. The end of the movie could be like the end of Titanic.<BR/><BR/>4) Moby Dick can talk. And he should have a wise-cracking, bad-ass attitude. Jack Black or Eddie Murphy could do the voice!<BR/><BR/>5) Ahab shouldn't have just a boring old peg-leg. He should have a bionic arm that shoots exploding harpoons! Now that would be awesome!<BR/><BR/>6) Nickelback should do the music. <BR/><BR/>7) Lots of explosions. Man, now I wish Michael bay was directing.tom Neelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180910435475086509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9233790.post-41837807830225451122008-09-25T08:03:00.000-07:002008-09-25T08:03:00.000-07:00Not your grandfather's Moby-Dick?
