Err - Darkly Dreaming Dexter was the first book. I think you have the titles x-ed.
Haven't read Devoted yet, and didn't know there was fourth.
ETA: I meant "In the Dark". I did read "Devoted", which is the second book.
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
The musical of Wicked is (IMO) far more entertaining than the book
Oh, I disagree entirely. The musical is a bit of fun, with great songs (although pretty poor production, at least by the time it got here to London). The book is deep and I love it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I saw Precious last night. The performances were really good, and Mo'Nique is definitely going to get Oscar nominated, but I found the film remarkably uninvolving considering the subject matter. I am very glad I saw it, but it just didn't move me. We were comparing it to the Brazilian film City of God, which was also about horrifying poverty and abuse, and that film felt that it drew me deep inside the story and characters, rather than showing me the events. It got right inside my heart and Precious didn't.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Interesting, Scrappy. It's been all over the radio lately. I probably wouldn't see it in theatres, anyway. It will be interesting how people like it. Given the people involved and the lineage of the film, I would imagine that people would be inclined to review it favorably.

Hey. New board.
I couldn't stand Wicked the book. Hates Gregory maguire I do. Hates him.
The musical is fun.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So I just saw Let the Right One In. I think this may be my new all-time favorite vampire movie.
Also, check out these cool dolls: [link]

Wasn't it great? However, I feel the book was even better than the movie. Waaaaay more disturbing.

I feel moved to remind people that my birthday is a mere 9 days away, and vampire dolls are always appropriate gifts. ::grin::
(Edit: Unless they're Twilight-related. But Twilight has nothing to do with proper vampires, so I shouldn't need to point that out, right?)

I read a Wikipedia entry on the book. It explained the relationship between Eli and the old guy.
Yeah, I can see the book being way more disturbing. Which means I need to read it now.
eta: I just bought a lock for my bike. Which means I can zip to downtown Evanston to buy it right now....

Wise to point this out since they are releasing Twilight Barbies. For real.
