Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Other pervert. Just because.

What did you think of 3:10 to Yuma, Cor? It had that whole "sacrificing my life for a principle which no one but me cares about" thing that you dig in Wild Bunch, so I thought you might like it. But it's a remake and kind of narratively slack, so maybe not.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I didn't see it yet. I like the original ok, but figured I'd save the remake for DVD. The only movies I've seen in a theater in the last year are No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood, which I'm still thinking about so I can post something in the movie thread.

Incidentally, I think In The Night Kitchen is utterly delightful.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm in the milk and the milk's in me!

Is there an alternate history writer whose works are based on a world where the south didn't lose the civil war but which take place more recently than 1916?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Harry Turtledove, maybe? Most of his stuff seems to start with the South winning the war, but I'm not sure how many of those make it past WWI.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I think at least some of Turtledove's work did, but I can't remember any titles.

My Dad and I were discussing how the world wars (especially world war 2) would have been different had the south won the civil war. Now I want to read a story that takes place in that world... maybe I'll have to write it myself.

Isn't there a movie with that premise? I want to say The Confederate States of America ? Maybe?

This movie looks very interesting. Not exactly what I was looking for but I'm gonna have to check it out. I'm going to look up Turtledove too. Thanks, guys.
