Anyone else love any version (movie, book, play) of this?

It's my favourite book but no one has nailed it in any of the movies.

Totally badass.

I watched the original movie with Dev and it took a bit to get into it at first but if you can get past the oldness and what not, it is a great movie. I have never read the book but I actually only became interested in it when I heard that Mastodon had written an album around it. And being a huge fan of that album I had to check out the movie, which brought a whole new understanding of the songs. I really should read the book, but I dont know if I have the patience. :wink:

I saw the original when I was 10 maybe before Guy Fawkes night (that thing in the UK when we burn a bonfire and shoot off fireworks all night) and it stuck with me through my life. Couldn't concentrate on the fireworks for thinking of Moby Dick and shit.

Yup! That is one crazy movie, it is definately a movie I will never forget, and for me that is saying something. Movies normally dont interest me to much but every once in a while.....

There should be HEAVY METAL remake of Moby Dick, with black metallers going out in speedboats in full corpse paint, gargling.

Maybe Dev as Captain Ahab? :lol:

He's crazy enough and would look good in the captains garb.
