I've just seen the stardust in the cinema! It was very beautiful, funny, surprising and smart! However my friend told me that "princess bride" was better... This is because: 1. There was no "pain machine" in stardust 2. There was no 6-finger man 3. There was no "My name is Inigo...

I like them so much too! and I also like Robert Sheckley and Ray Bradbury!

Thanks, Ronny! This is the quote that I meant earlier: And this is another one: Those quotes influenced me a lot! Really strong said, isn't it?

Just finished the "SlaughterHouse 5". Reminded me a bit "The Good Soldier Švejk" book. Well, there was a lot in the statement that one can not change the past, and the things are just as they are. The wars always happened and always will be. The peaceful citizens should be well trained...

I know many more respectful people who oppose to the Global Warming. Actually, I am myself a scientist, although not in meteorological field. However, I find those "respectful professors" very strange. First, they must admit that they also do not know how does atmosphere work. (Or do they...

Well, I am happy that people here recognize the importance of being environmentally friendly. The only difference is that I do not have any association between Al Gore and politics, which people in US obviously have. For me, he is just an environmental guy from the movie. I tried to look for...

I just finally made a connection between "The Cider House Rules" and Irving :confused: ... I read it about 3 years ago and the name of the book as well as the writer completely escaped from my mind. Only the story stayed in my memory. But after people in this thread kept saying "cider...

Well, in my case I did not want to go to US but I was sent there. A business trip. And I will be avoiding going there as much as I can. You can not imagine the shame when they take your fingerprints :eek: No more business and clearly never ever a tourist in US! Thanks a lot! And regarding the...

I think it was not about 9/11. It was about the pollution. But if we are talking about 9/11: Americans now use it as an excuse to any illogical deed that irkes me myself. What is that thing with the fingerprints for foreigners entering the US? Entering this country makes me immediately a...

It seems that the school of you kid is going to open another McDonald's there :D ... The questions seem to be biased... And what about vegetarians? I do not eat meet (I hate it ever since I was a kid!) - Can one have a marshmallow instead? And the other two answers: ketchup juice

Well, here it comes again! http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1571558/20071010/index.jhtml

I would suggest Astrid Lindgren's books. Here are some of the reviews on Bill Bergson (Kalle Blomquist), he is a boy and a detective, his adventures together with his friends are simply hilarious! As a 10-years old, I was reading and laughing so hard that my parents gave me strange looks! But...

I've got Gogol Bordello on my MP3 player. I've just got to say- this Gogol is a real Bordello! :cool:

The Hotel New Hampshire I read "The Hotel New Hampshire " about 5-6 years ago, and ever since then I am carefully avoiding Irving. I simply did not understand the book. I was not ready for people dressing like bears (hm, what' s the point?!), and for dwarfs typing stories and then committing a...

Well, normally you can connect your MP player everywhere - even in automibile. I stopped buying CDs since I can connect my MP player everywhere. And when I did not have an MP player I was connecting my PC to the loudspeakers (at home). Anyway, I do not believe that many will stay without an...

I read it a month ago as an adult already. It's amazing! I did not notice however that it was for kids...

The Karlson's series book by Astrid Lindgren. I completely adore her writing. I was laughing as a 10-years old as I was reading them, and I do so still now. But now I laugh at different things. I still adore reading the Winnie-the-Pooh (the real one. By A.A. Milne.) And Kipling's Just So...

Strange thing to do - to burn a CD... Not environmentally healthy. I like digital for it does not require to produce any garbage.

Guns?! Are you nuts?! Wow, you are discussing here having a gun just as if it would be a matter-of-fact. Like "do you have a cat at home?" - "No, I have only a fish bowl". I have never though about actually about a possibility of having a gun. Is it not a job of a military and police to...
