Well, that's true, but that doesn't really bother me.
I appreciated that while they did the movie covers, they kept non-movie covers in print simultaneously. That was smart.
Lydia: But you are a vampire. Spike: If I'm not, I'm gonna be pissed about drinking all that blood.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
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."

but I finally saw "Nightmare before Christmas"...I liked it a lot, but not as much as you
Oooh! I'm glad you finally saw it. One of my favorite movies of all time, which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
The movie-tie-in kids' book for Nightmare is good. Of course, it's only about 25 pages long and is all Tim Burton drawings, so it was hard to go wrong.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
He's a huge Oz fan.
Plot developments on Oz. (Oddly enough, not the one Hec and Nilly are discussing.)
Heh. Hec's quote had me wondering if Harlan Ellison was a big Beecher/Keller shipper.

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse
I really liked the ending to Toni Morrison's Paradise, because it was at the beginning, and then you had the rest of the novel to find out how they got to that point and reinterpret the opening sentence and chapter. Margaret Atwood's the Blind Assassin was similarly structured.
And I remember a similar discussion about Conrad's Heart of Darkness in my 12th grade english class, about the last sentence specifically, which my teacher claimed to be one of the most perfectly constructed sentences in literature.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I hated Return to Oz.
Not that this will surprise anyone.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I hated Return to Oz.
If I gave you a pack of cigarettes right now, you'd sit down and watch it and it'd be your favorite movie ever.

If I only had a brain...
I loved the visuals of Return To Oz, HATED the psychology.
