Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
Doesn't count, as it was itself based on a book, Les Miserables
Hmmmm?
I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

Ok, while I've disagreed with a few, I am baffled at people who don't like Indiana Jones. I mean, what isn't to like about Raiders? It's a great old fashioned adventure story that doesn't pretend to be anything other than that. It does its job convincingly and, IMO, brilliantly.
Well for starters the star of the series is a block of wood by the name of Harrison Ford. I don't think I have ever bought a single character that he has played in a film, with the possible exception of the hot rod as$hole in American Graffitti. No, not him either when I consider it.
The first IJ had a good reputation amongst my friends. I saw it in a USO in the St. Louis airport. They introduce the "love interest" character by having her win a drinking contest in a dive somewhere in the Himalayas. Ok, she looks like the sort of woman who could be a good match for Indiana Jones. Then she puts on a red dress, heels, makeup, and screams for help for the rest of the entire movie. Great. So with no characters to develop or care about that leaves a bunch of mediocre action. I'd rather watch a Kung Fu rerun.
He's got the Midas touch.
But he touched it too much!
Hey Goldmember, Hey Goldmember!
"What country are you from?"
"What?"
"'What' ain't no country I ever heard of! Do they speak English in what?"
"W-what?"
"ENGLISH, mother ******! Do you speak it?"
"Yes!"
"Then tell me what Marcellus Wallace looks like!"
"What?"
"Describe him, fool!"
"Wh-what?"
"Say 'what' again! I dare you-I DOUBLE dare you, mother ******! Say 'what' one more time!"
That scene's just a classic. Plus the foot massage argument, Personality Goes a Long Way, the argument about who's gonna give her the shot...hysterical squabbles are just elevated to an art form.
As for what movie I don't like, well, do I really have to say it by now?

That's very true. The "other movie" is pretty darn good; I enjoyed that movie. I would have loved to have gotten the chance to spend more time with the ship's designer, owners, etc. And the wreck itself is astonishing--in fact, I didn't have a problem with Cameron winning best director; the wreck alone earned him that much.
But I just wanted to punch Leonardo DiCaprio right in his pretty face every time he was on the screen. Annoying bugger. As for Kate Winslet... a very good actress. She didn't show it in that film, however.
So all you nay-sayers towards Titanic hate what you perceive to be excess melodrama??
Sorry -- you haven't changed my mind. One of the best movies -- ever, in my opinion.
So what if you're too cold-hearted to confront emotional issues such as forbidden love -- doesn't make it a bad movie.
A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.
It was scary up till they met the soldiers. Then it was obvious what was going to happen.
"Here is our pet zombie"..."He'll be chasing us around in the dark later"
There were several times I was amazed no one was infected. Stuff splatters all over the soldiers during one explosion. They laugh it off. At least they should have had goggles.
Why was the hospital so clean when the hero wakes up. Did the zombies mop up? Ditto on the street. No blood stains. No body parts.
I do have one question. What are the other endings? In the version I saw, they all survive the car crash with the gate and are our in some field signaling a French jet.
Oh I almost forgot... every single movie featuring Jennifer Lopez
My, she can't sing, dance, act or pretend anymore she's a poor latin girl anymore. She just moves her ass around. period

the alternate ending they showed in the U.S. after the credits was this:
Spoiler:
instead of Jim surviving the car crash after the chick(s) bring him to the hospital. Jim dies. And the teenage girl asks the black chick what are we going to do now. The black chick replies "We move On" There is no scene with British (or Finnish if you believe that) jets
That's it. Nothing spetacular. Just a darker ending.

Well that's his schtick, I guess. I would argue that Jack Nicholson or Al Pacino essentially plays the same character over and over, too.
Raiders was a great movie, though, especially the whole religious/occult thing with the Ark itself and the opening scene in South America. The other two sequels I could take or leave.
