Heh.

You have to read Vern's reviews; they're entertaining in themselves.

Vern uses his Untold Power on Renny Harlin's THE COVENANT!!!
... Four of these families now have young, hunky, muscular sons of varying hair lengths and sub-Anakin acting skills who hang out together at a rich boy private college in a spooky, foggy, spider-and-rat-infested town in Massachusetts. Everybody calls them "the sons of Ipswich" (you'd think they'd call them "Reid, Tyler, the guy who looks like Josh Hartnett, and the other dude") and nobody knows they have super powers, although they make almost no effort to hide it. ...

I've been through Ipswich a few times. don't remember much about it. was the movie shot on location, or is Canada subbing for Mass?

I don't think we're talking about the same Ipswich. I mean the original Ipswich, which is located HERE as a little yellow dot and is surrounded by oddly named little villages, LIKE SO

Hey yes I know you were from New Hampshire. Until pretty recently I spent a lot of time in the White Mountains. I've been to Manchester, NH and I've liked it there. :) I like Portsmouth as well.

not a fan of manchester or nashua. too big city for my tatses. portsmouth is fair enough. but Concord is a shining jewel. I love my hometown and miss it much. Julie just found me some birch beer soda that I haven't had since I was a teen.

the white mountains are beautiful.
I miss my home. :(

Heh. If Manchester is too big for you, NEVER live here on the North Shore of Boston - way congested! The White Mountains are indeed beautiful. I'm sure it must be hard to miss this area so much. :(

Well, maybe after this, those young, hunky and muscular actors should think about playing the Bloodguard in the real Covenant movie. :P

LM: well we live an hour outside of Houston. >doh!< we live in a small town though. but we are in Houston all of the time. it is way more spread out than Boston.

Even the sub-Anakin ones?

Just limit their dialogue. Shouldn't be too hard even for wooden Anakin-types to utter "We are the Bloodguard" or "we suffice" every so often. :wink:

is it more the actor or the horrible dialogue that Lucas gave him?

They might struggle with bowing fractionally. :lol:
