He hasn't said anything bad in print.
One of our favorite mock expletives is "E. Gary Gygax!" It has just the right ring of astonishment to it..."Look at that cave troll. E. Gary Gygax! He's huge!"
Anyway, we don't say that when Mr. Arneson is around...
I was afraid of that. Haven't seen the movie, yet, but I figured it would be the typical Hollywood concoction. "We've gotta make it more appealing for the moron public! They'll never understand that whatchacallit 'theme' stuff."
It's in London?? Americans won't watch a movie based outside the good ol' USA! Move it to New York!
Whaddya mean he can't talk to the Eloi or the Morlocks?? How's he gonna act? Screw that!
Whaddya mean you don't know when he's off to at the end?? Can't leave questions in the moviegoer's mind! Screw that!
I know it's not his fault (except for the acting part), but as soon as I saw Guy Pearce in the lead, I had flashbacks of "The Count of Monte Cristo". At least in that one, it had been so long since I'd read the book that I doubted myself on whether it followed the text (or at least the spirit). Since "Time Machine" is one of my favorite novels, I don't think they'll even have that chance with me.
