Howdy once again. In reply to Galmorzu's comments about Alien warriors turning people into eggs, in the book (and cut from the film), that's what happened, or was happening to Dallas. I think I also got this from the book, but don't quote me on it, and that's that these eggs only have a life-cycle of a few months, rather than the few thousand or whatnot of the queen. Also, it's a slow process in the book, as Dallas (and Lambert) slowly turn into something else. To the guy who hasn't mowed his Red-Beard; Fincher did Fight Club!! One of the greatest films of our time!!! That's right; so what the hell went wrong??? And Jeunet's film credits reads like a list of masterpieces and those that are pretty damn close, so Why does Resurrection have all that hollywood cheese dripping from it then??? A loud and annoying comedy sidekick general, dreadfull LOUD (not to be confused with good) music, and all those horrible cheesy camera shots, such as the rolling grenade, that just seem to be there for no other reason than to show that they can do it. That movie did do one thing right however, and that was to give the aliens some real depth. With regard to Peter Jackson, and it's almost blasphemy in this country to say this, but I think with LOTR he did the best he could, as it is philosophically impossible to match a great book; as you have no choice but to play to everyone's imagination, plus you live with the book which is mainly a work of naturalism, wereas the movie out of neccesity had to be a 'greatest hits' compilation, therefore, in places cheesy. It was also overall lacking most of the subtlety, as, take away the fantasy, and LOTR is basically a work of rural and wild naturalism by Thomas Hardy; the most English of English writers. But he is beyond blame, as these things just can't be avoided; the mediums don't translate in these ways except abstractly. Anywho, that said his best film has got to be his first one that he made whilst a teenager; 'Bad Taste'. I think I laughed even harder at that than for anything by Monty Python. Anywho, for his first big-budget film 'The Frighteners', he admitted that he did it, and gave up alot of creativity in the process, just so he could keep all the effects equipment acquired; so perhaps that's what Jeunet did, which would also explain the stamp of hollywood that's all over it.
