    A critique of Oprah's book club

    High book sales, more readers, more discussions, getting Cormac McCarthy to interview, are all undoubtedly positive things. The ick factor comes from the suspicion her fans would go out and get anything she says, like some creepy game of Simon Says. To her credit she/her team go for a mixed...

    Mindf**k movies.

    Rewatch of Mulholland Drive. The inherent sadness of it never seemed as intense before, which is likely a result of watching it this time without a goal in mind. In previous viewing the goal was always to seek out clues and figure out what the hell was going on, this time I was more relaxed...

    ^ Moon? ^^ Unexpected endings, then Dr.Caligari has to be the ultimate. Yowsers! I am planning on a rewatch tonight, will comment further after.

    Mindf**k movies.

    ^If you're up for a rewatch of both, want to make it a forum venture? An exercise in comparison? If it goes well, we could then move onto other original/remake films. I still have no clue. Care to share your thoughts?

    Mindf**k movies.

    ^Mulholland Drive. Will, LMAO. ''I told you I was here.'' I've always been sceptical of remakes, but am beginning to accept that they are not always without merit. Not seen or read it, yet I know the twist. Makes one wonder what people have actually seen/read firsthand, and how much we have...

    Gift Ideas For Book Lovers v.2010

    Google throws up the following. Thumb thing Pointless? You decide. Stamp thing- this I like. A stamp saying 'from the personal library of....' may act as a reminder to all those book borrowers who 'forget' to return your books. A tie - it's not completely unwearable, not if you don't care for...

    ^ I'm still confused about Jacob's Ladder, in a good way. Solaris, the remake? Not seen it, if it's a patch on the original may have to give it a go. Generally, yeah, definition of mindfuck does seem to be quite subjective. There are some really interesting films on that site you linked...

    David Lynch's oeuvre would count, no doubt. I recently saw an anime called Paprika, and then there's Waking Life. Which films do you consider to be mindfucks?

    ^ I was wondering whether or not to plunge in. The curiosity factor is high, but I am still undecided on whether it should have been published at all.

    You and I must have very different definitions for what constitutes an excellent mind ****. They were both so-so.

    Is My Writing Getting Any Better? HELP

    Pontiac, I have watched you without comment for a while now. You are persistent, I'll give you that. However, persistently smacking your head against a wall isn't very progressive. Make changes to this excerpt, and then we'll tell you whether an improvement can be seen. Start by looking at...

    Gun Control

    People kill people, but guns make it a hellava lot easier. Pulling a trigger is easy and clean compared to stabbing or strangling someone. Keeps your hands clean so to speak thereby reducing the horror of taking another life.
