Travel / "Adventuring" / Ireland

Awesome! You are going to visit the country where the original land before time movie was created :yes
Ireland is one of the countries on my long list of places which I would love to visit but probably can't visit any time soon. Do you know which places you are going to visit?
Don't be too pessimistic about the weather. Sometimes it is not as bad as its reputation I suppose. When I went to Scotland for three weeks in 2005 my sister mocked me that I would have three weeks of rain.
When I was there she wrote me mails from (Quote) "Rainy Dortmund" while I could send her photographs of me and some of my fellow students lying in the sun in T-shirts and short pants. There were two days with a few drops of rain within the three weeks. Maybe you will be as lucky about Ireland.  :^.^:
Well, I am going to Dublin and I will visiting around the eastern area of Ireland, I don't know about the other places of Ireland though :p

Character Discussion / Rinkus and Sierra

And I'm almost sure that Sierra wanted to let Ducky go, when he was holding on to her, when he was flying in that one part of the 7th movie?
Yeah, he probably would be more than eager to do so, but Pterano did say to them "that forces me to make a small change in our flight plan". Meaning that he want to take Ducky away so she wouldn't tell anyone about his plan. Of course, that was pretty stupid, because Ducky screams so everyone knows what Pterano is up to. :p

No hurry, and you man need to tweak some of the characters to fit into LBT, maybe or maybe not. 

Sounds like you made quite a few characters there.
Thanks for the indented advice but, they're supposed to be like that. And thanks for the comment.

Sound Off! / Opera Metal-Bands
« on: May 03, 2008, 10:27:53 PM »
I think they're called something else, but I'm not quite sure...:p

I love these three bands: Nightwish, Within Temptation, and Evanescence.

Yeah, I guess Nightwish and Within Temptation are a bit more "opera-like". While Evanescence is a more of an Alternative Metal band with some similarities to Opera.

The songs I love from Nightwish include:
Phantom of the Opera (I'm a HUGE POTO fan)
Beauty and the Beast (The guy's voice was a bit strange..but eh...that's Metal for ya)
Cadence of her Last Breath
Ocean Soul
Nemo
probably many other songs I can't think of right now....:p

Within Temptation:
Mother Earth
Never Ending Story
Angels
Our Solemn Hour
The Howling
Forgiven
The Cross
Jillian
Somewhere
Memories
The Howling

Evanescence:
My Immortal
Sweet Sacrifice
Hello
Whisper
Bring me to Life
Snow White Queen (yeah..it is creepy...and sad...but I like the music quality of it all)
Haunted(same with this one, it's creepy, but I love the music quality of it all)

I love these bands mostly because their songs have meaning and depth, unlike a lot of bands and groups I hear. They are very original as well.

Character Discussion / Rinkus and Sierra
« on: May 03, 2008, 08:52:11 PM »
I really love these guys (especially Sierra) mostly because I thought they were pretty funny.

Like Rinkus' comment when Pterano slaps him for slapping Petrie:

Pterano: If there is one thing I will not tolerate, it's violence!
Rinkus: Then why are you hitting me?
XD

And Sierra, with his countless, "So what?"s and this line:

Pterano: Sierra! Show some self-control will you?
Sierra: Self-control my tail-bone! I have puttin' up with that whiny little voice since we took off! No, no, no! Jeb, jeb, jeb! It's driving me, nuts, nuts, nuts! ::D

I also like Sierra simply because I love his name. And the voice actor, my gosh Jim Cummings is one amazing voice actor!

Character Discussion / Hyp, Mutt, and Nod
« on: May 03, 2008, 08:43:53 PM »
Quote from: Dinonut,Aug 25 2007 on  11:16 PM
Whatever happened to Hyp, Mutt, and Nod? They first appeared in The Land Before Time III, but they were nowhere to be seen in the other sequels of The Land Before Time or in the TV series.
I remember not liking this group as a kid, but now that I look at them, I really like them. Especially Hyp, he's one of those kids that are completely misunderstood and just angry, he's not evil, he just has ego-issues and is a very angry kid.

I did see the episode in the TV series and Hyp does not look like himself! :p I really didn't like that. Mostly because I liked Hyp original appearance just the way it was.

LBT Fanfiction / R and PG-13 rated Land Before Time Fan Fiction
« on: May 03, 2008, 06:25:19 PM »
Quote from: jedi472,May 3 2008 on  05:18 PM
I don't think an R-rated fic would be good, but PG-13 seems reasonable. In fact, that's the rating I'd give my fic.
Yeah, same with my fanfic.

And I agree that a Rated R LBT fanfic is way too risque and it the themes should be modified so it can at least have PG-13 rating.

LBT Fanfiction / The nature of many fanfictions
« on: May 03, 2008, 05:33:20 PM »
Quote from: Malte279,Nov 14 2004 on  11:47 AM
Hi!
Again I broach a topic which is difficult to deal with. Though this is not my intention it may set some of you against me, as I cannot totally deny a certain aversion against the topic I want to address, an aversion which I hope won't appear as arrogance to those of you who oppose my view.
Reading through the land before time fanfictions at fanfiction.net and elsewhere I sometimes feel really very, very sad at times. It is because the huge majority of the stories there seems to have little in common with the land before time except for the maincharacters and sometimes the locations.
Many of the land before time fanfictions I've read so far include sex affairs among the characters, gory massacres, invasions of humans, or zombies, or aliens from outer space, or all of them at once; these fanfiction may contain whole dialogues from other movies (e.g. Star Wars) or actions such as Littlefoot fencing with a sharptooth using a stalagmite as a sword. There are fanfictions that culminate in the characters singing songs such as "My heart will go on" or "Only Time" whose connection to the land before time I really don't get.
Few people ever came up with stories that didn't contain any of the things listed above. It makes me wonder if people would approve of these things appearing in an actual land before time movie. Why is it, that the majority of fanfiction writers won't try to write a story within the certain limitations provided by the early (or even within the wider range provided by the later) land before time movies?
I hope this is not taken as an offense, and authors of such fanfictions who know me better will hopefully know that I really like them personally and don't mean to have a go at them. Still it really saddens me to read these stories and it makes my wonder why so few give it a try to write a story which could realistically be made a movie :cry
I do understand what you are saying, some of the LBT fanfic writers try to put things that everyone knows would not be in the movies.

I think reason why people do that is because they want to write a more mature theme to LBT since the producers never will. And I think the whole Sci-fi/LBT thing is really over rated, I see too many LBT fanfics that have that stuff within them so I really don't bother reading any LBT fanfics.

However, I did come across LBT fanfics that were "puritan". Like:

Search for Pterano (I seriously could imagine that story being a fanfic, AND it is rated G.) Here's the link:Search for Pterano

I'd Give to Change-Here's the link:I'd Give to Change
I'd Give to Change

Courage to Believe:Courage to Believe

So, yeah, there are still fanfics out there that are realistic for a LBT movie.

« on: May 03, 2008, 04:19:49 PM »
I completely edited everything! :P: :DD After soul searching and coming to terms as to why I don't like a certain character or like a certain character or just not caring about a certain character anymore, I completely edited the darn thing!
Fifth runner up:Loofah
Fourth runner up:"The Wise One"(from the 13th sequel)
Third runner up: Chomper
Second runner up: Ducky
First runner up: Hyp
10.Spike
9.Doc
8.Mutt
7.Rinkus
6.Ruby-My all time favorite out of all the gurls. :)
5.Little Foot-After watching a few sequels I have grown to love this character again. Mostly because he's actually the most like me out of all of the characters.
4.Guido
3.Petrie
2.Sierra
1.Pterano

It's funny actually, Little Foot used to be my FAVORITE character when I was a kid, but ever since the 7th sequel came out, Petrie became my favorite out of the "GOF" or "GOS" and now that I edited this...well...Pterano is officially my ultimate favorite character.

« on: May 03, 2008, 03:59:54 PM »
That's awesome! :D  I like the Dali Llama's philosophy. He's one peaceful guy. Pity about China trying to take over them again :p I do know that it's the YOUNGER Buddhists that were violently protesting the Chinese Olympics. It's the older Buddhists that are aren't fighting because they want to stick to the Buddha's way. Buddha was not for war, so it's sad that some of the buddhists are letting rage and hatred take over them.
