Brandon Sanderson / Re: Just finished Mistborn trilogy; waiting for TowersofMidnight*possiblespoilers*
« on: July 05, 2010, 07:46:07 AM »
I'm halfway through Warbreaker now, its a much lighter read than the Mistborn books but looses none of the wit and fervor I've come to associate with Sanderson's writing. You could probably blaze through it in a dedicated day or two, I know I'm having trouble putting it down and I've been out camping and whatnot.

He's an actor of such dynamicism and raw acting prowess that he could pull off all the characters if I had my way.

Vin, Robert Downey Jr.
Elend, Robert Downey Jr.
Kelsier, Robert Downey Jr.
Teh lord rularr, RDJ,

etc. ad nauseum.

also, Kristen Stewart? I'm pretty sure Vin has emotions at one point or another. And like...expresses them. srsly.

All in all that cast seems really young.

unless you ARE joking - I can't tell...

oh I am. Joking, that is.

Obviously Steve Carrell would be playing Kelsier. Will Farrel? you kidding me?

what are these chalks you speak of? Is there another book I must read?

then I have the perfect solution for everyone:

Kelsier - Will Farrel
Elend - Seth Rogen
Sazed - Jonah Hill
Spook - Michael Cera
Breeze - Jack Black
Ham - Peter Molynieux
Dockson - Adam Sandler

Vin - Someone Seth Rogen shouldn't have a chance with.

A Judd Apatow film.
 
EDIT: Did I say Peter Molyneux? I meant Kevin James.

That, good sir, is my purpose in life. Making people think I must die for 20 seconds at a time.

BACK ON TOPIC - Breeze is the single character getting the most consistent action in the whole trilogy, methinks...at least that we know of!

I guess Straff is a bit of a player, too.

I just picked up Warbreaker, so I'm hoping to read that one next.

I think the other big issue here is one of hindsight. Hindsight is 20/20. VIn was acting in the moment. So any course of action we deem "better" or "more productive" at this point is with information that she didn't have. We're neglecting the fact that she thought her plan would work. She thought she could beat the poison.

Was it the southern accent or the fact that he's kind of a jerk?

Too many people, so many ideas flying about that most of them overlap in some fashion or another.

But, Chaos, that's a passive thing, I do the stairs thing consciously (mostly anyway).  Iron steel tin pewter zinc brass copper bronze chromium nicrosil aluminum duralumin cadmium bendalloy gold electrum.  Bases before alloys, external before internal, physical mental enhancement temporal.  I think I might be OCD like that.

Yeah, probably a bit OCD. But you're my hero for it.

It's spelled Nicrosil, yes.  I have them memorized.  (Am I crazy for listing off the allomantic metals in a very specific order whenever I go up or down the stairs of my home?  There are 16 steps!  It's too good a setup to pass over!)

Didn't Brandon also say something about a Mistborn serial killer?  I think he might have been inspired by one of his podcasting buddies.

he did? Darnit, I'm trying to write a book about a magical serial killer right now...and I've already been influenced by Sanderson enough! why is it so difficult to be original in this world?!

My favorite part of the book was definitely when Kelsier was like "Vin, you're my heroin" and she was like "Oh Kell, suck my blood you fiend!" and then Elend was like "dude, I'm a werewolf. Also, I love you."

You can read the rest of my Mistborn/Twilight slashfic at my blog, "Theres-always-another-sparkle.not"

Maybe Brandon will do retellings of the whole series from her perspective.

and then others!

the timeframe Mistborn 1 told entirely from Elend's perspective. Lots of brooding and stuff. Plus we'd get an in-depth look at how he feels about sparkling in the sun.

wait....

unless teaching kids English is his cover for his CIA counter-cold-war-that-they-told-us-is-over-but-really-isn't-operation...thing.

its the only plausible explanation.
