I imagine if you've read any reviews of this, or saw the 2.2 / 10 rating you have to realize this movie is crap, so I won't bother even commenting on how bad it sucks.
What I'm finding the most annoying about it though is that it seems the director / screenwriter didn't even read the books. Tarl Cabot refuses some meat claiming to be a vegetarian?
Did I miss something reading the books?
This pathetic plot came from a book? What the hell...I only came here to look it up since I have the MST3K version of the movie.
shareNo, this plot didn't come from a book. I'm not sure where -this- plot came from. The books actually have a great plot, even if Tarl is, as one friend puts it, the "special needs child of The Obvious".
The first four or five books are action-packed, with huge logic holes it's best just to ignore. However, the series quickly degenerates into John Norman's obsession with women as slaves. Although there is never any explicit sex or graphic language, women are constantly being raped, and worse yet, BEGGING to be raped because it's what they really want. Page after page of repetitive dialogue is interspersed with random cultural observations that don't really mean anything; and there are a few chunks of plot here and there, if you look hard enough.
The novels really only appeal to people who are into BDSM. I enjoyed the first four or so but the series got really boring and repetitive after that, not to mention offensive.
The movie doesn't have much to do with the books; just the title and the general idea, minus the BDSM. I did rent both of them years ago out of morbid curiosity and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone, whether you're a fan of the novels or not.
We report, you decide; but we decide what to report.
Did everybody in the books yell: "Cabot!" repetitively too?
shareWell, I could say that the whole "Gor" series was a soul-brother to Ayn Rand's crappy series of "Greedy Sociopath" monologs.
Both series of books were platforms for the authors to monolog ENDLESSLY on their personal dementia & fetishes. Less of a story than a paper-thin irritatingly long sales pitch by the least subtle pitchmen in the business.
I'm guessing humor, maybe he was disgusted with that type of meat.
But you've been in the desert for what a day or more without food or water. Cabot shouldn't start getting picky.
