So you guys have never watched or had the urge to watch a faithful adaptation of a novel, short story, comic, or even play that was turned into a film? There have been several properties where I've enjoyed novel, comic, cartoon, and film versions of the same story.
You're missing a word. I love to see faithful adaptations of GOOD novels, short stories, comics and plays. The original Interlude comic doesn't qualify as such. I know my original review is maybe a hundred pages back at this point, so I'll just bottom line it for you: The comic was written by someone who has no idea how to write comics and drawn by someone who has no idea how to draw comics and the resulting comic shows that, and the absolute last thing anybody should have done was faithfully adapt it into a film, because all that could happen is that all the flaws of the original material will just be transferred onto the screen...and judging by Maurice's review, that's exactly what fucking happened. (Pacing is absolutely the biggest problem with the comic.)

A comic is not a storyboard. A comic script is not a shooting script, and there's a difference between being faithful to original material and being enslaved to it. Lane should not have committed to filming a shot-for-shot, word-for-word remake of the comic without at least correcting the comic's flaws first. He said he would, and from what I'm reading he stuck to that promise, so no, I don't need to waste however many minutes of my life watching a video I know will be shit. If you want to, fine.

Just to be clear.. he said he would fix it or he said he would do a shot for shot/word for word remake? The wording of the post is a bit unclear in whether you think he stuck to fixing it or making it shot for shot/word for word.

Just to be ciear: He said what was in the comic would be in the film. He did not say he'd fix the comic first.

Are we clear?

Yes. I just wanted to make sure before addressing your prior posts claiming that it's a shot for shot word for word remake and the exact same thing. It's neither but instead been faithfully adapted for a different medium. Shots have been added and dialog has been moved/added/deleted and that's just from reading the first three pages (not counting the cover obviously). Frankly, I think I'd have preferred a shorter version closer to the comic with less of the added shots/dialog as I don't think they added much if anything (. You're free to assume that it's complete crap without actually watching it though but I thought you might want to know that at least some of your recent claims/assumptions are incorrect.

I'm pretty sure I'm safe in that assumption.
but I thought you might want to know that at least some of your recent claims/assumptions are incorrect.

Again, if what I'm reading in the reviews is accurate to the film, my most important assumptions are dead on.
 
I suspect the quality of Interlude will do more harm to the "Axanar movement" than any further lawsuits, double-dipping on shipping fees and other shyster nonsense ever could.

Like, this is it. This is live action Alex Peters as Garth of Izar. At long last, in the moment and it's not (all) documentry format. Could you imagine him starring in a 90 minute movie? Holy shitballs:lol:
