PING: Mwhities

[24940]

Yep.... He also stepped a bit too far into the political aspects and that is not why I read him.

They didn't want to offend Muslims, so they changed the bad guys to Nazis, as I recall...

Most of his books don't translate well as a screenplay. Way too much technical detail.

I've read all the books and don't think any of the movies came anywhere close. I also read Robert Ludlum and W.E.B. Griffin....great books. I like John Grisham also but again, the movies don't come close to the books.

I think Clancy tried to go "overboard" on the technical side and "setting the scene" too much in a couple of his later books.... It was easy to loose the reader to boredom or at least to yawns through certain sections....

his books just aren't what they used to be...

and movies aren't made like they used to either...

Alec Baldwin hands down.

 

[24940]

Man, has he ever gotten soft.... If he keeps going as he has, he could do the lead part for a Michael Moore bioflick.

That's one I'll have to miss.

They could call it "The Sum of All Beers"?

 

[SCUBAJENNIFER]

Still no Michael? What did you do to him Dave?

Although I liked Alec in Hunt for Red October, I really don't care to hear his babble now. I'm still waiting for him to move out of the country as he stated he would do if Gore didn't win the election 8 years ago.


Baldwin says he might run for governor of NY. I thought he'd never get elected... but then again look at the quacks they've elected in NY for Governor and Senator here lately and I see if fully possible.

Stumble in....Not that anyone gives parrot fish sand, but Clive Cussler has some good novels with Dirk Pitt. Random ha....
