Link Bork!

What in particular makes you jump?

[ironymaiden]

Thanks, had to switch to markdown to fix, very odd.

Basically I watched it and recognized every scene. The design is excellent, the casting is excellent, and they’re not afraid of Paul’s visions. I reread the book every few years, since I was 8 or so.

You read the book at 8?! You were advanced! (I read it at 13)

Once I was able to read on my own, my brothers handed me Sword of Shannara and from there on out I was reading all their books and tearing up the adult SFF section at the library. (I think it was about expediency, if they got me reading fat books they wouldn't have to take me to the library as often.)

[asakiyume]

Hahaha, smart brothers :-)

[asakiyume]

Sooo glad they showed a sandworm (and it was magnificent). Whole trailer I was like, but sandworm, but sandworm, show me a sandworm. And then they did.

It does look like it'll be good!

I had exactly the same reaction. At first I was like "Hmm..." but excitement kept building as I watched and everything after "I must not fear" was glorious.

[asakiyume]

My daughter said that was the reaction she was seeing in her online circles too--everyone wanting the sandworm :-)

[sartorias]

Yeah, NO KIDDING. WOW.

Bless the Maker and Her Water
Bless the Coming and Going of Her
May her passing cleanse the world
May She keep the world for Her people

looking forward to this. cautiously optimistic. assuming you've seen siderea's comments?

[ironymaiden]

Yes. (She appears to have conflated the Lynch film with the novel in the comments. I hate the wierding module.)

[buhrger]

having i think only seen the lynch film once, i was trying to put the weirding module out of my memory. cuz, yeah.

I am also really excited for it; it looks good!
