Ooooo...good call.

I concur.

The movie sahara doesn't do the charactors, Dirk Pitt and crew, justice. At least people read the Cussler books. I would have to say Sahara is one of my favorite books the cussler wrote.

Have you checked out the Raise the Titanic movie. *shudder*

Sahara was a much better adaptation. We have to realize that the filmmakers only have two hours to work with instead of several hundred pages. They did include lots of little touches for Cussler fans.

I heard some bad things about Raise the titanic, some of them came from cussler himself. I remember reading a while back that Cussler and the studios were going at it over the script. So, I guess the end result was not too shabby. I saw the movie with a friend. She enjoyed it. I enjoyed the movie, but the book is in another leauge.

yeah, i realize that most studios want movies to be 2 hrs long, and that as an adatptation it made do with the time constraints. I will admit though, that its been a while since i've read Sahara. But out of all the fiction Cussler books i've read ( which will be all of them once i read the latest book from the Oregon series ) , Sahara is my favorite and is the one that i recommend to friends ( regardless of the movie being out.)

Bond is garbage, all he has is his gadgets. Plus, he's british. So we're down to 2 guys... Bourne and Bauer. Now you have to ask yourself what is your mission? If you are trying to investigate or track someone or something down, Bauer is your man... he will just break fingers, shoot kneecaps, and hacksaw his way to whatever he needs. If you need someone killed, you go with Bourne. Bourne would totally pwn Bauer, though.

Bourne, then bond, and bauer last. If you said bauer you're a damned moron and should be immediately banned.

Dude, he died and came back to life. He saved the country singlehandedly 3, going on 4 times. Bond is just some little taint who relies on his gizmos to do the work for him.

Bourne is maybe the closest comparible. The fact that you said Bond would beat out the other two, is amazing.

When it comes down to saving the day, Bauer is the one you want in charge. He'll cut off heads, shoot legs, break fingers, etc. Bond, what's he going to do? That drunk will order a Martini.

"Shaken, not stirred." Screw you Bond.

Bond gets all the chicks.
Bond drives the nicest cars.
Bond looks cool doing it.

We therefore conclude that it's more desirable to be Bond than to be Bauer or Bourne
