anyway, i had been watching some shows in hallmark channel
i dont normally show hallmark as i felt the shows are too boring or too 'sci-fic'
but some like earthsea, dinotopia, jack and beanstalk are good!!
jack and beanstalk ???dinotopia??? huh? the titles seems lame...
ya, its lame, thats what i thought too at first, but the quality of the show have nothing to do with it
anyway, the jack and bean stalk is not the normal story
it is about wat happens to jack's family blah balh...it got a twist in it and it seems lame at first...its still lame though, but it gives people and nice alternative view of things
dinotopia is a lame show...very lame...
as the name suggests, the show is about a place which have dinosaurs living still
there are also humans living along with them blah blah...nice show about courage balh blah
anyway, the name is a mistake by the author or purposely made for irony
the title 'dinotopia' comes from 'utopia' and 'dinosaurs'
utopia is a very old book about a paradise, the author of utopia meant the name as an irony as in latin, 'u' means 'no' and and 'topia' means land, thus utopia means literally 'no-land' or no such land
dinosaurs comes from 'dino' -terrible and 'saurs'-lizards in latin
so...dinotopia means terrible land instead of paradise for dinosaurs
irony...
now...EARTHSEA!!!
i like it
i read one part of the book once and like it
nice book
it roughly mention how magic works instead of many stories like harry potter that just build up on what other stories had done
supposedly there is a language in earthsea called the old language which one CANNOT lie, note, it is CANNOT, not should not or other....heehee, if anyone actually reading this will be wondering how can one CANNOT lie?
the language will force the statement to be true so if one said in the old language 'i am a raven', the person becomes a raven
so...if u accidently said 'u are a gay'...too bad....
