I could have checked off a box that said "I was correct with Clint Eastwood, even though I didn't have the slightest idea which movie, just that he is an actor-director and is about the right age.

Does watching "ST: The Wrath of Khan" or "ST: First Contact" count as watching a movie adaptation of Moby Dick?

No. Neither one includes a four hour sequence on the nuances of skinning whales and boiling down the blubber.Spaceman Spiff wrote:Does watching "ST: The Wrath of Khan" or "ST: First Contact" count as watching a movie adaptation of Moby Dick?
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

The Classics Illustrated version should count though, I know it thrilled me years before I was ready to read the book.

Re: FJs for the 10/10/16 week
Moby-Dick is certainly an odd duck of a novel. I was particularly struck by the Cetology Chapter, in which Melville relates the best information of the day about whales. Personally, I enjoyed the read, but I do have a noted fondness for times.Volante wrote:No. Neither one includes a four hour sequence on the nuances of skinning whales and boiling down the blubber.Spaceman Spiff wrote:Does watching "ST: The Wrath of Khan" or "ST: First Contact" count as watching a movie adaptation of Moby Dick?
