Tara ,'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Clockwork Orange:
In the first 20 pages, Alex and his lackies beat a guy senseless and rob him; they steal a car and trash it, they get into a vicious gang fight; they attack a couple at their home, destroy the husband’s life work (his book, A Clockwork Orange), beat him and his wife senseless, and rape the wife. This really ticked me off.
It really ticked him off. ::dies::
This really ticked me off.
JD Salinger's doing Amazon reviews now?
Yep, that CS Lewis guy is all about the product placement....

To Kill a Mockingbird (1960)
“I don’t see why this book is so fabulous. I would give it a zero. I find no point in writing a book about segregation, there’s no way of making it into an enjoyable book. And yes I am totally against segregation.”
Having never read The Sun Also Rises, I kind of love that review. And RE the Turkish Delight, I cannot tell you how disappointed I was when I got a chance (as an adult) to eat some. Edmund, really! That was not worth selling your soul.
Turkish Delight sucks!
I was imagining something like truffles, wrapped in caramel or something.
Also this comment on The Grapes of Wrath (1939) does pretty much sum up how I feel about The Old Man and the Sea, if you substitute salt water and fishing for dirt and migrating.
“While the story did have a great moral to go along with it, it was about dirt! Dirt and migrating. Dirt and migrating and more dirt.”
Hec, what is your tag from?
Lord of the Flies (1955)
Author: William Golding
“I am obsessed with Survivor, so I thought it would be fun. WRONG!!! It is incredibly boring and disgusting. I was very much disturbed when I found young children killing each other. I think that anyone with a conscience would agree with me.”
I would like to coin a new phrase. The new phrase is: Internet Aspergers.
This is reserved for people who may have social skills in RL, but on the 'net, have no sense of people around them, have no ability to sense sarcasm, irony, or subtext in the written word, if it is posted online.
I'm certain this is a diagnosable condition warranting further study.
Would anyone like to give me a grant?
I'll give you a grant if you go after the Sony people re: my Mad About You dvd's.
I was very much disturbed when I found young children killing each other. I think that anyone with a conscience would agree with me.
Because obviously, anyone who likes the book is in favor of children killing each other.
