Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
Jumper
Myself, I "liked" it. I did think the storyline was a little open ended, and plot holes for days. After seeing it my fiancee' noted how this should have been a TV series, as it felt like Pilot. I was thinking almost the exact same thing. I do dig the story idea, and the background would have been cool. But alas, they "jumped" straight into the climax, and kept it there until it was suddenly over. I think I missed the first half hour and the last? Maybe in the DVD.

I'm hoping I'm wrong and that it is a good film, but...

Wow, it looked like absolute unredeeming shit from the trailer. Where was the appeal?

Rambo
Prince Caspian
Dark Knight
Speed Racer looks fucking bizzare but has me interested, despite hating the toon
Watchmen
Heaps of other that I can't think of.
Indy looks nothing - trailer way to dependant on nostalgia to be able to judge. I don't think it will be able to recapture the magic, I sense star war prequels with that one.
10000 BC, despite having battlecats brother, looks like amature wankfest.
Jumper looks shit. Interesting premise but the direction and acting look fucking abismal.
Not much else I can think of that looks terrible.
I actually like the majority of movies, believe it or not.

There was a book?
Not just a book, but one of the top 100 most banned books in the US .

"There was a book?"
Steven Gould, Jumper, Tor, 1992. He also wrote Wildside in 1996, about a parallel world. Both are excellent.

I guess "banned" reads better than "most frequently challenged"? I've been wracking my brain as to what possible objection there could be to Jumper. The American Library Association website doesn't appear to give the reasons. The only thing I could come up with is maybe he was confused with Stephen Jay Gould, the evolutionary biologist.

I "think" it has to do with the fact that he is portrayed as hero, yet has total disregard for the law. Robbing banks, taking what he wants. Maybe they though that sent a bad message for the children?
Or some shit like that.

It's been a while since I read the book, but I'd hardly peg him as hero. You're probably right regarding the reason, in which case Lord of the Rings is in trouble: Hobbits stealing vegetables!
