[Master and Commander/Aubrey/Maturin series]

I LOVE IT.

I frickin' adore this movie (though I haven't read any of the books).

I want more too. I wonder who would play Aubrey and Maturin if they did do a miniseries.

Russell Crowe was a great Aubrey, sometimes sexy and sometimes a kinda gross dork. It would be great to have someone small and dark-haired as Maturin. Daniel Radcliffe maybe? He seems into being a bit squirrly

I heartily approve. It's my favourite movie by far and wide (less keen on the books, since I'm more of a Hornblower person, but they have their charme as well, and can you imagine how a tv fandom would suck up all the kidnapping and torture angst Stephen gets put through? Also, I'd be so here for HBIC Diana. ;___;)

You and me OP, you and me.

And me.

I loved this movie too, though I ended up shipping Jack Aubrey/Tom Pullings so I've been in a tiny corner.

This movie is wonderful.
Also, totally agreed on the miniseries. I wish there was one.

This wasn't popular? Hmmmm... I thought it made bunches of money, was nominated for best picture (losing out to one of the LOTR movies) and did get an Oscar for it's director and a couple of other things (costuming?)

But yeah...there is not a lot of fic written for it, if that is how you judge popularity?

if it didn't make enough money back to warrant the proposed sequel it's hardly popular, is it? They'd plans to make this a movie series.

I thought it made bunches of money

The production budget was $150 million; the worldwide gross box office income was $212 million. Rule of thumb to determine whether a film is successful or not is to multiply the production budget by 2.5 and compare that amount to the box office income. In this instance, $212 million is a lot less than $375 million, which means the film was a financial flop.

The box office takings were in the $212 million range, which sounds great except that the budget was $150 million. I know this still sounds like a bunch of money to you or I, but when it comes to big budget movies that's not a good enough profit to be considered a successful film. If it had been, there'd be sequels because that's how Hollywood is.

I loved this film!!

I love this movie so much and wanted more of them. Good soundtrack, too.

Hah, that soundtrack is my go-to "I can listen to this any time any day" soundtrack. I love it so.

This movie is underrated ... I want slash

Uh-huh... I was happy for a moment to see someone who appreciated the movie. Oh well.

Surely both things can be appreciated at the same time? We humans are complex and contain multitudes.

I don't ship anyone in this (slash or het), but I adore the movie. One of my favorites.

One of my favourite movies to watch when I'm feeling poorly. I love the music too.

Yes! I love this movie and wish it had sequels too!

Yeah, this was one of the best movies I have ever seen. But I am not too disappointed about the lack of sequels because the chance of hitting that standard again seens remote.

I would be utterly down for a miniseries, though. Especially if it included Sophie and Diana.

LOL! You didn't have to tell us it was for the slash, we knew.

100 percent agree. This movie was *excellent*. These two gentlemen, playing their music together, so intense and so happy? Hells yes.
