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."

Me, Wolfram, cause I don't know who that is...might as well be Seymour Butts.

Trust my rage

I love Jilli's whitefonted idea a few posts back. I'm so curious to know Snape's whole story.

I don't think I've ever posted in this thread, but I'm hoping y'all can help me remember the title of some books I read as a kid. It was a story (or maybe a short series) about a brother and sister with some sort of mental powers. They were on their own, running away from someone, and were looking for their parents or their people. I think the title maybe had "Mountains" in it and it might have been made into a kids movie. I know this is really vague, but I can't remember any more except that I loved the story.

and there was an awful Disney movie "based" on the book "Escape to Witch Mountain." Tony and Tia, the psychic twins.

I never read the book and remember loving the movie. Something about the children's rooms they are given by the evil man has stayed with me as a vague memory and visual trigger. I should probably re-watch to figure it out.

I really loved that Tia could unlock doors, but only if she had good intentions.

I suppose I thought the movie was awful because it wasn't the book, which I had loved.

The movie is never as good as the book. (which was also my answer if people asked why I hadn't seen The Passion)

Thanks, msbelle - now I know why you are everyone's favorite! This has been bugging me for weeks. Now, I'm going to have to go buy it and reread it.

Steph - love this and I plan to use it.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

(that was Vortex, actually)

I loved Escape to Witch Mountain! Never read the book though. Perhaps I should.
