    Inglourious Basterds

    The one thing i realized about the movie that surprisingly was not in ur review beer... was that tarintino blatantly makes fun of or mocks even his audience. audience 1 is in the movie watching one man kill hundreds of opposing soldiers... every time a soldier is killed the crowd holler and...

    Who's your favorite FEMALE fantasy/sf writer?

    i didnt realize robin hobb was a female... just assumed it was a guy... but i guess sierra phillpin is a guy too... heh i can only think of one female fantasy writer (seeing as men are prone to write fantasy sci fi) and that is marian zimmer bradley... shes okay but she needs to work her way...

    Can kids read too much?

    which poem/poems left a permanent impression on you?

    Dear, Though the Night Is Gone by W. H. Auden Dear, though the night is gone, Its dream still haunts today, That brought us to a room Cavernous, lofty as A railway terminus, And crowded in that gloom Were beds, and we in one In a far corner lay. Our whisper woke no clocks, We...

    Sci-Fi and Fantasy: Stepsisterly treatment?
