Great book that should never have been made in to a film. See also Captain Corelli's Mandolin, a beautiful novel turned in to a travesty of a film. Louis de Bernieres hated the film.
I made an effort to avoid Avatar based on reviews, looks like a good decision. However I do need to add the execrable Titanic to my shitlist and I'll see your Avatar and raise you WATERWORLD.
Mars Attacks was ok if you were in a certain, er, frame of mind. :smokin:
12 Monkeys I didn't like at all, bored me silly, but wasn't necessarily bad.
The aforementioned Shallow Hal is however fist eatingly unfunny, not to mention impossible and based on a really obvious concept. Any comedy...
