Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages since I last saw that
Much better than Asterix the Gaul, which was shite

EDIT: Why 'The late....'?

is the live action film any good, do you know?

( The King of Hats The bigger they are, the Hadoken they fall!, Thu 19 Apr 2007, 15:12, archived)

Didn't see it
Mostly cos it looked pants, and I thought Bill Oddie made a better Asterix
( Trellyclaus is returning to fuhldom, Thu 19 Apr 2007, 15:13, archived)

nah
I think the books are much better

As only the jokes for the younger audience tend to end up in the film, and the cynical/double layer ones for grownups are mostly skipped.

I loved all of them.
I can't remember what the last one was but it was sadly a bit pants.
( wastedindustry hates writing CVs, Thu 19 Apr 2007, 15:13, archived)

Asterix and the Falling Sky
and, yes, it was pants.

Didn't one of them die?
Goscinny or Uderzo I mean?
( Trellyclaus is returning to fuhldom, Thu 19 Apr 2007, 15:17, archived)

Goscinny is long dead

( pzyko is a whaler on the moon and carries a harpoon, Thu 19 Apr 2007, 15:17, archived)

yeah
and since then, the stories are not as original anymore
( mediocre I am not strange, Thu 19 Apr 2007, 15:18, archived)

totally
fuck, he already died in '77!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Goscinny
( pzyko is a whaler on the moon and carries a harpoon, Thu 19 Apr 2007, 15:21, archived)

So he wrote them from '59 to '77 I guess
I have some french children's books by him here

He's Elvis!

( Stilton Cheesewright, Thu 19 Apr 2007, 15:27, archived)

I think so, yeah...
If I recall correctly it was Goscinny.
( wastedindustry hates writing CVs, Thu 19 Apr 2007, 15:18, archived)

I only flicked through it at the bookstore
it had to do with aliens and was shit
( pzyko is a whaler on the moon and carries a harpoon, Thu 19 Apr 2007, 15:17, archived)

Yup
The occasional one-liner but not a patch on the original books.

Arf!
Nice one.

The Romans did it, by Jupiter!
( Afinkawan, Thu 19 Apr 2007, 15:14, archived)

These Romans are crazy

Actually,
it was the Gauls who destroyed the mansions in the story, wiping out the Romans.

/asterix pedant
( mediocre I am not strange, Thu 19 Apr 2007, 15:20, archived)

Which is what I was aiming for...
... but how can one resist any repeat of the *fact* that these Romans are crazy.
( Manic declared war on Old Media, Thu 19 Apr 2007, 15:23, archived)

Far too long since I read any of those books.
I used to absolutely love them.

*goes to check eBay*
( Afinkawan, Thu 19 Apr 2007, 15:26, archived)

why?
You'll find at least half a dozen titles at your local public library.
( Manic declared war on Old Media, Thu 19 Apr 2007, 15:32, archived)

Probably
I live in a posh area so the library is quite good.

But I want ones to keep.
( Afinkawan, Thu 19 Apr 2007, 15:35, archived)

(yup, I got that first time)

but these Romans, they really are crazy, man!
