I suspect BM saw a dodgy copy of Little Voice he got from Spiros the Spiv. The giveaway being Caine turning to Horrocks after one of her performances & saying...



wait for it.....

redface:

sorry, a little OTT.

My worse film: David Lynch's "Dune"

Such a terrible visualisation of one of the best SF books ever written. Poorly cast (think Sting!) badly directed. Get Peter Jackson to do it again.

I remember watching it for the first time after reading the novel & thinking "what the feck is a wierding module?".

The versions of Dune and Dune Messiah/Children of Dune commisioned by the Sci Fi channel were far superior even though they were low budget productions.

Yes, much better.

Have you ever seen their "Riverworld" pilot film?  In the words of BM "Utter, utter shiteness of the highest order"

So much of the original structure of the book(s) is ignored and/or changed it shouldn't be allowed to use the title.

Amazon linky

All humans ever born awakened in the valley of a monstrous river winding its course around the planet, can a novelist be any more ambitious? The daring hero is a known icon of his time, Sir Francis Richard Burton, now in the explorer's ultimate quest, to find the origins of that river and the gods who created it. A provoking caleidoscope, stuffed with history banged together, not a single dull page.

I have a nasty feeling that the Mass Effect movie is going to end up in here as it is another game conversion so there is a strong possibility Uwe Boll will be doing it cry:

Well all know your heart races and you get palpitations of total adoration at the merest thought of the slightest possibility that your belloved Boll will release another masterpiece on the world Grupypants......  I see you on  cloud9:
