The Mothman Prophecies

[Flaire-FireStar]

Anyone else see it?
Or for that matter, anyone else reading the book?

->here comes my rant<-
Since I only read up to chapter 6 before seeing the movie, I can't b!tch about the whole thing, only the things I read.
I didn't like the way the beginning of the book was changed around - as well as the character's names being changed. :rolleyes:
Gordon=Woodrow
John Cline=John Keel (the author of the book)
Mary=Mary Haye...she lived in Point Pleasant

But anyway.... I think it was a rather slow moving film... :dis: And only 1 actual siting of the "Mothman". Besides, I wanted to see Cold's 'Kerosene Lamp' spaceship and the so-called aliens as they were described so well in the book.

->end of rant<-

Anyone else have thoughts? ;)

I saw the movie. I thought the topic was kinda kewl..... but the movie (trying to think how to sound "not so hard" when I say this) Sucked. I thought it was very slow moving, and until the end.... nothing in the movie seemed to even be remotely clever.

I am kinda affraid to read the book, if it's like the movie at all. Although I read just about anything I can get my hands on (I once read a text book on econmic philoshpy because I had nothing else to read.)

:) The book isn't anything like the movie - it's all done in little pieces, each encounter with the people involved in it.. Most of them don't really connect to one another, except for the fact that they're sightings of UFO's or Mothman, and they hysteria around the news of Cold talking to Woodrow - people actually gathered around his house, waiting to see the ship come back... And people gathered around a TNT site, trying to get a glimpse of Mothman.

It's a pretty good book, from what I've read. ;)

Hmmm, maybe I will check that out. That sounds allot more interesting then the movie.

:( I know what you mean... I'm just glad I went on cheap night. :thumbsup: for that! (And the best part was when Richard Gere was in the bed alone that one time, rolled over and his dead wife was there - this whole row of teenyboppers jumped at the same time..'twas hilarious..from my PoV anyway - the back row :lol: )
