There and Back and Eragain

Does that work as a pun tenuously connected to fellow fantasy franchise The Hobbit?

Anyway, the next movie I watched during Corona Closure, or Cinemapocalypse, was “Eragon”, which my brother probably only agreed to because he remembered reading the book in childhood and gave in to his sense of nostalgia.

Remember how I talked about “Troy”? The deuteragonist in this movie was also in “Troy”. He was also the lead in that awesome TRON sequel where Daft Punk do the soundtrack and play program versions of themselves in a club run by a program version of David Bowie.

Man, I love that movie.

Also, “TRON” is really close to “Troy”.

Which I don’t love.

But I love that TRON movie.

“Eragon” was good too.



Bonus Question!

Best version of David Bowie?

Lucifer in The Wicked and the Divine. It’s not even the first Lucifer to be modelled on Bowie, but it’s my preferred one.

Oddly, one of the other deities in the story was changed from Bast to nigh identical Egyptian cat god Sekhmet because the author thought Bast was too tied to Neil Gaiman in the public consciousness, but Gaiman was also the guy who made Lucifer into David Bowie in the same series.

So.
