    Hook is Indiana Jones?????????

     

    VFX look OK, but otherwise it looks terrible.

    And I HATE that what Barrie describes are definently a Native American Tribe has been turned into some nondescript tribal people.

    I HATE Political Correctness like that.

     

    The term you want isn't "political correctness". It's "whitewashing".

     

    I see this one being a flop.  (Then again, I wasn't expecting much from Alice, either, so…)

    Duh, otherwise I'd have made 1999 Angelina Jolie fall in love with me.

     

    What's your point?  That these people really DO feel emotional bonds with James Horner?  It's bogus, but you can go ahead and pretend it.  I'm not playing along, though.

     

    My point is that in between "someone I knew and loved personally" and "complete stranger I don't really care about", there is a wide range of how much a person can care about someone. My point is that your claim of "they feel nothing, save for the tinge of excitement they get knowing there's an opportunity to strike a pose as a morally sensitive person" is both wrong and insulting.

    I'm saying they feel nothing, save for the tinge of excitement they get knowing there's an opportunity to strike a pose as a morally sensitive person.

     

    They can take all the sad face selfies and list all the movies/songs/playoff games they enjoyed from such-and-such.  Cool.  I don't believe for a second they have an empathetic bond with these people.  (And if they do, they're probably schizophrenics.)

     

    You do not get to decide what other people do and don't feel.

    As far as I know the book is self published (crap?), and is mainly liked by the unwashed masses because of its... sassy language (a part of which we were treated to in the trailer).

     

    The book was originally self-published online, and gained a sufficiently large cult following that a real publishing house took notice and brought out a dead-tree edition last year. It is decidedly not crap; it was seen as a serious contender for a Hugo award until the award committee ruled that its initial 2013 release made it ineligible this year.
