Re-reading it, and others from the same era, really drives home how ponderous modern sci-fi/fantasy has become. It is a little jarring at first, but after awhile it is refreshing to just have the characters get to the fucking point.

Yeah I remember it being all meat and bone. Very little fat to Moorcock's books.

But what will we do without 1000 page novels with uber long descriptions of the food? Thanks GRRM!

As long as we have to keep hearing about multiverses, it will all be completely retarded and not worth watching.

Sure. But similarly, people seem flabbergasted that Ryan Reynolds didn't do the Deadpool dance, and probably also believe he's doing the swordfighting himself as Deadpool, or a bunch of other scene, including just standing around on a TVA set in a deadpool costume while other people are doing a couple of takes of dialogue, most of which he certainly isn't.
Part of the magic of these movies, I guess, is making the audience believe that you always have the movie star, RDJ, Chris Evans, Reynolds, Tom Holland, whomever in the frame, when surprisingly often it isn't and they record in some cases separate, including close ups and dialogue and whatnot, before that stuff gets spliced in with second unit shots of action scenes that might've been shot months earlier on a different continent.

GRRM is no where close to the shit done by Robert fucking Jordan
Nynaeve tugs on her god damned braid one more fucking time and I'm going to dig up this dead ass son of a bitch and shoot him just because. Fuck what an annoying bunch of shit.

Yeah never could stomach his stuff. He'd waste pages upon pages on setting up camp. It was like lord of the rings meets gordon ramsey.

It's like reading the Robert e Howard Conan short stories. I think I've got all of the anthologies on audible, and they're wonderful. I listen to him every few years but they're just so God damn good. No purple prose, Conan is there on an adventure, and you're just there for the ride.

Nah man, it's $50k. Bradley Cooper as Rocket Raccoon? $50k per movie. Hamill in all his shit? $50k each.
It's like, the law.

Yeah. Disney would never have paid the Rock 20 million for Moana.
