It's sad, really; I know Hollywood is dedicated to ruining things I love, but this story ought to be really, really easy to adapt for the screen.<br /><br />Thanks for the spelling catch!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11581572699330155065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-56353456798169010842013-08-29T05:46:56.196-05:002013-08-29T05:46:56.196-05:00I thought High Crusade sounded familiar!

Turns out, a little producer from Germany by name of Roland Emmerich (yes, the "Independence Day" guy) produced a movie based on it back in 1994. A godawful movie, if IMDb is to be trusted (not bottom 100 material, but 4.4 is not exactly a ringing endorsement). I also remember Ray Cokes promoting this movie - I used to watch a lot of MTV Europe back then, and he was basically the channel's leading man.<br /><br />Wow. Now I feel old. (Also, Poul Anderson's name is misspelled.)Osperonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-71202770374684589372013-08-28T16:22:32.296-05:002013-08-28T16:22:32.296-05:00God, I love The High Crusade, and I'm glad to ...God, I love <i>The High Crusade</i>, and I'm glad to see it getting its due here.

And now you just throw something like this at me?!<br /><br />Ah, screw it. Just adding <i>High Crusade</i> to the list, I guess. At least <i>Pliant Tyrant</i> I can read right away. I remember I liked the original a lot, so I've got high hopes for this one.DannyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13273313206696087395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-41247217006338045162013-08-28T10:46:14.144-05:002013-08-28T10:46:14.144-05:00Aw, thanks, man!Aw, thanks, man!xjuggernaughtxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286896058684660654noreply@blogger.com
