vals haar (Nov 30 2003 08:36 GMT) - Deze week zag ik onze prumjee op de teevee. Ik weet het, er is al eindeloos over gezeurd en geschreven, over dat hr van die man! Maar ik moet het er nog even over hebben, want ik weet het nu zeker: dat haar kn gewoon niet echt zijn! Dat kapsel zit dermate strak in de lak dat het zonder twijfel kunststof is. |

- Ok, so I was home, and I left, and I am back and now I am finally able to have the time needed to actually form my thoughts on Timeline. The book was great, with mention of quantum computing and time travel. The movie had a quick mention of quantum computing and a very different explanation of what the company who found it can actually do with their machine. In the book, the president is sent by his employees to plague era, and in the movie they can only go back to the same time, 1357. In the book there are glass cubes and cages, in the movie there is one big circle thing with mirrors, and this ruins part of the ending, in that they need two medallions, and this tells one character he should stay back. |
