2015 Forum Poster Awards

[KingKat]

Soderbergh's version is underrated.

 

It's difficult to make a film adaptation of a book. Too different, and people would criticize the filmmakers of deviating too much from the book. Too similar, and there would be no point adapting the book.

 

I don't know if you've read the novel (though it does totally seem like your thing) but I thought it was very interesting how Soderbergh basically skipped over the things that Tarkovsky did well and put his focus elsewhere. Very interesting exercise in adaptation.

Sheeit guys MikeM is by far the best new poster?

I actually haven't, but I have read The Futurological Congress (it is quite different from the movie). Both are very good. I can tell he was inspired by Philip K. Dick with that novel, especially The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch.

This board needs a dislike button ASAP.

I regret posting it. You quoted it so I'm probably f***ed.

When did BigCecil start posting? He seems pretty new and is an excellent contributor.

Seriously dude, I really don't think you want a dislike button.

[Effit]

Governator deserves an honorable mention for funniest poster.

[Spanky99]

This thread seems to be hit or miss, all of a sudden.

I would be ok with the dislikes. Most of them will be deserved.

Geez. Time flies.

Solaris has a lot of actual science to it. It's fairly dry but with moments of great poignancy. It's nothing like PKD.

I meant The Futurological Congress. Yeah, I want to read Solaris.

That's not my entire shtick. A big part of it, certainly.

 

Appreciate the mention(s), though. This is by far the best and most knowledgeable Jays board I've been apart of, and lord knows there's some stinkers out there.

I appreciate the honesty

[BigCecil]

I'm copping out and not voting except for a few positives. We all know the negatives. Love this Board (even the posters I don't much care for) and enjoy interacting with everyone who engages, except the one poster on my IL. Very appreciative of the opportunity to vent and debate ball and other matters. I like to think I've learned a lot from many on here that have a good deal of knowledge on ball and other subjects. Much more than I. Most people I know are ball retarded and its impossible to discuss it with them.

 

For best over poster I'd go with IW, KingKat, NJH or BTS, Dinger in no order. G-Snarls is the nicest poster and a good Mod. Hon mention to Gov, GD and Deadpool. There are too many good ones to name them all. Have enjoyed Thanos enthusiasm as a new member. Spanky is a guy that contributes a ton unless he gets sucked into warring with trolls or is banned. Can't imagine the board without him. King breaks more news than Shi Dividi for us.

 

What a year and looking forward to 2016. Thanks all.

[Thomas Malthus]

The nice part about my join timing is that with this going on I'll have a better idea of how to weight what I'm reading.

ClevelandBrownsFan2 - the guy whose contributions to date are:

Solid candidate right there, imo
