Wow so orginal... tell me were you get your humor.

I don't like reading fiction books so I perfer the movies most of the time. I only read non-fiction books and I have about 5 fiction writers that I like, but other then that I usually don't like books.

Fabulous movies. I haven't seen King Kong, though. Did anyone see Chronicles of Narnia, perchance?

[QUOTE=PinkFreud]im not a fan of slaughterhouse 5. i don't think it's one of his best. i prefer mother night, cat's cradle, and a bunch of others.[/QUOTE]

Yea I thought Cat's Cradle was better, but I enjoyed S-H5 mainly because when I finished it I thought.

[QUOTE=TheDMV]I liked Lord of the Rings. If I read it agin, I'd probably like it more, but it's just not something I'm willing to, nor do I have the time to do.[/QUOTE]

I love those books, I have reread them seveal times, but now when I attempt to I just skip to the good parts. I love the part at the end after the third book with all the history of Middle Earth. Tolkin really had that place figured out. If I didn't know any better I would think I was reading actual history.

I read Slaughter House 5 for English and loved it. I thought it was awsome how everything was out of order, it was a truly original peice or work I think.

[QUOTE=MBS]Did anyone see Chronicles of Narnia, perchance?[/QUOTE]

I thought it was good, but it was sort of made for a younger audience. The battle scenes are pretty cool, and Aslan looks awesome.

The first Jurassic Park was good for a book beased movie. After that, it went downhill. Downmountain. Downabyss.

seriously though, Neil Young is definitely not easy on the eyes.

I took a class on LOTR. He actually invented the language Elvish, and then wrote the books for the language, not the other way around. The attention to detail in both his planning and writing really made Tolkein extraordinary.

If the books are anywhere near as interesting as the movies than I want to find every copy of them and then set the entire pile on fire.

Oh god, by the time Jurassic Park III came out, I stopped paying attention. II and III were so bad.

I thought so, considering Disney made it. It'd be cool if another film company made, and they made it grisly and gory. That'd be sick :cool:

I agree, when you read the books the first time, you're willing to sit through all the boring walking stuff because you know what's coming up: the awesome explicity described fight scenes. However, once you've read the books and you know where everything is, you tend to skip to the good stuff.

I just like the theme of how a someone who seems so meaningless can make so much difference and the themes of greed. Plus Gandalf pwns, if he was black he would be played by Sammual L Jackson.

Have you never seen the Lost World? That is an excellent movie, or was I remember me and all my friends were in love with it for about 2 years between 3rd and 4th grade. I had all the action figures or a lot of them... :cool:

Yeah, he basically wrote the history for a different world. It's amazing how far he went in developing all the different races and cultures.

I also recall enjoying the lost world when I was young. There were Dinosaurs in it. I also recall trying to kill myself during the third movie. It was just BAD.

As talented as Neil is, I must agree with Illmatic, he's you gee ell y.

First Jurrasic Park kicked butt, The Lost World was good too; other ones, not so much.

One of the things I mainly remember about being very young was that I'd
watch anything to do with dinosaurs or pirates.

Could someone tell me the full name of the King Crimson song "The Court of the Crimson King Including the Return of the Fire Witch and th" allmusic.com stops there and I don't have the album with me to look at it, and Amazon doesn't have it all. Its number 5 on ITCOTCK.

In other news I'm addicted to welchers(?) grape juice I can taste it in my mouth right now and any time I think of getting something to drink nothing tastes good because I have this grape taste in my mouth, and I have none of the juice! I'm going crazy.

:lol: Ya, I remember me and 3 of my friends road the city bus alone at the age of 9 or so (city bus is scary lots of crazy hobos and disabled things!) all the way to the other side of town to watch it, we all left the movie pretty pissed it took us like an hour and a half to get their and another hour to get home.

Welch's. I like the White Grape, not the original purple. I find the especially refreshing when they come in small, portable bottles.

no, i just found them terribly bland. i assume it's the same with ray.

[QUOTE=rockinbass17]A Clockwork Orange was the only book I asked for that I didn't get for Christmas.
I [I]did[/I] get Slaughter-House Five. Really good stuff. Vonnegut is up there with Orwell as one of my favorite authors.[/QUOTE]

Orwell is awesome. 1984 is one of my favorite books ever. Never has a book made me think as much as that one did. All I've read by Vonnegut is Cat's Cradle. It was really good, I should read Slaughterhouse Five sometime.

I'm a complete LOTR fanboy.

Right now in English I'm reading The Scarlet Letter => The worst book ever.

Neil isn't quite as ugly as Keith Richards, but he's up there.

[QUOTE=MidnightRider]Yeah, he basically wrote the history for a different world. It's amazing how far he went in developing all the different races and cultures.[/QUOTE]

Yeah just those maps alone are impressive there are things written in detail on those maps that arn't even mentioned in the books, or just casually mentioned once. I remember when I first read the books in 5th grade I marked up my map with the trail I thought they took to Morder. I would love to have a conversation with Tolkin about all those places on the map he didn't go into great detail about.

Yeah, those maps were amazing. I could just study the detail in them and be amazed. Tolkien was a genius. I've read LOTR so many times. But not for a while. I should reread sometime, because everytime I've reread I've picked up on so many new things.

jacaranda, the full title is "the court of the crimson king including the return of the fire witch and the dance of the puppets"

I got my dad's adopted kitten today, I named her nico in honor of The Velvet Underground.

Maps are always so interesting. It's nice to look at them before actually reading, but I find referring back to them extremely helpful when reading any book.
