Well, where to begin. Artemis Fowl has started out as a book that was written by an Irish author named Eoin Colfer, by the way his name is pronounced Owen, took me forever to get used to that.

I think that a good video game movie can be made.
However, the way that the movie industry that is approaching video games is kind of strange. I think it is logical to conclude that when someone wants to transfer one medium of entertainment to another (books to film, video game to film) one must radically change a dynamic of the original material. Books are not screenplays, and video games are not screenplays. Thus, the writer of the film has to change some aspect of the original material to make it interesting for viewers.
I think if video game film directors placed more attention onto the script instead of the VFX, we can get thoughtful and interesting films. However, the film industry seems to believe that people are dazzled by expensive VFX and don't really care about the story. The problem with their philosophy is that people go to movies to see a story, not to watch something they could play at home.
What are your thoughts?
You make a great written sparing partner! You create great arguements (unlike some people on Spill.com). Anyways, it was very fun and interesting arguing about the books! =)
This is a general message to those that live around London or in the U.K.or could make the trip to London.
Our much beloved Korey who makes all of our animations here at spill.
Will be traveling to London not to long from now.
While he is there in England.
He wants to meet the people from Spill from these areas from across the pond and maybe have a small party of sorts in London.
If this sounds like something you would like to attend.
