Allyson. Whoa. You say he's in Ninja Assassin?
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Yes. Mostly kicking the shit out of things and bleeding.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh, for changes: Wuthering Heights! On later rereads, everyone is completely fucked up!
Perhaps the biggest eye-opener was rereading the Chronicles of Narnia after taking a comparative religions class in high school and finally getting all the biblical references. It was the event that really taught me the value of returning to a text.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Changing text perceptions: Gone With the Wind, and Ashley Wilkes. First read, at age 12, I thought he was a romantic, tragic figure. By the time I got to my fourth or so read, in my early twenties, I just wanted him to get a grip and stop trying to live in the past; or, at the very least, decide which stupid ideal he was pining for.

Anyone else who grew up in NY in the seventies or eighties remember Magic Garden?
I have The Magic Garden on VHS, but I don't have a VCR anymore.
