Posted: 12/6/05 at 6:53pmThe movie trailer's on Apple...did anyone else see this? Creepy, I'd been thinking about the story all day. I came home, and there the trailer was. Anyone else familiar with the story/project?

Posted: 12/6/05 at 6:57pmIt's a great opera. Not sure it's work as a movie.

It all boils down to being a story about someone who holds a splinter.

Don't feel like explaining it right now, so...

Posted: 12/6/05 at 7:18pmWhy does that plot summary sound so different from the opera I sat through (for what seemed like 12 hours!)

Posted: 12/6/05 at 7:27pmDollypop, there are fifty bijillion versions. Interestingly enough, the love potion plot twist wasn't in the original version.

Posted: 12/6/05 at 7:36pmUmmm....I don't recall that version, unless you're alluding to something I don't understand.

I wouldn't say it's a "great" opera. It is an opera, though.
If four of hours of talking about dark and light, and singing the same interval over and over in typical Wagner fashion is "great," then I guess I'll have to rescend.
#11re: Tristan and Isolde
Posted: 12/6/05 at 8:34pmLooks very good!
#12re: Tristan and Isolde
Posted: 12/6/05 at 8:37pmI like the music to the opera very much. This movie looks somewhat interesting. I don't like how they played "Going Under" near the end of the trailer however. It sort of ruined the entire...setting for me.

Posted: 12/6/05 at 8:43pmThe trailer link on Apple is screwed.
#15re: Tristan and Isolde
Posted: 12/6/05 at 9:21pmI had to read it back when I was a Humanistic Studies major. I don't remember liking it all that much.
#16re: Tristan and Isolde
Posted: 12/6/05 at 9:23pmYes, what Aigoo said. I don't like trying to put modern songs in a period classic like this.

Posted: 12/6/05 at 9:41pmHoly hell! James Franco looks more GORGEOUS than ever!

#19re: Tristan and Isolde
Posted: 1/11/06 at 6:01pmI'm excited. I love that sort of King Arthury stuff and James Franco is to die for.

Posted: 1/11/06 at 6:14pmA wonderous story from the time of Arthur. I just hope they don't dumb it down too much!
#21re: Tristan and Isolde

Posted: 1/11/06 at 7:52pmI am such a geek about Arthurian stuff. I have the German opera on record, I was so excited when I found it (for free!). I cannot wait for this movie.
