    M. Night Shyamalan

    The big problem with Lady in the Water is that he takes a lot of shortcuts to move the story forwards. Children might not notice, but as an adult that can pretty much ruin the story for you.

    Danish Literature

    A few of the most famous Danish authors. H.C.Andersen: Probably Denmarks most famous author. Especially known for his many fairy-tales, but his his other works are also highly regarded. Your best bet is probably to find some collection of fairy-tales. Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen and other...

    M. Night Shyamalan

    I liked the Sixth sense and unbreakable, but the signs has to be one of the worst movies i've ever seen. The story is completely over-the-top silly and i could not help laughing when i watched it. The films "message" was just hammered into you at every opportunity, yet failed to say anything...

    South Park mocks Steve Irwin death

    Have you actually seen the scene where they supposedly mock steve irwin though? Satan himself walks up to the person he thinks is wearing a crocodile hunter costume and says "Its too soon"(Much like monekycatchers post above). If anything they are mocking the period after a persons death when he...

    10,000 Penises in Your Ear - the Most Bizarre Novel Ever Written!

    Wolfie is so cutting edge, so innovative and provocative you just dont understand him. You are too bound by the chains of traditions to understand his greatness. Wolfie is just ahead of his time.

    Nobel Prize in Literature 2006

    Last time it went to someone from scandinavia was 1974. As someone mentioned earlier thats the only time it went to someone from scandinavia the last 50 years. At the beginning of the 1900's scandinavia had a unusually large amount of very talented writers, some of whom got the nobel prize. And...

    Nobel Prize in Literature 2006

    Dont be so sure. One of these days the academy might pick him as a response to the criticism they get for the authors they usually pick. I think Dylan is at least more likely to win it than a swedish author (for the reasons stated above).

    Alain de Botton

    Its Alain de Botton, but yes i've read a couple of his books. The one i enjoyed the most was "Kiss and Tell". The author is facinated by biographies and wants to write one. But instead of writing a biography about some famous person he wants to write the biography of a normal girl. I've also...

    poetry dot DELIRIOUS FRENZIED BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!

    As i frequent quite a few forums i've come across the same posts in a variety of forums. Your posts are always copy/pasted across all the forums. Perhaps people would take you more serious if you actually responded to the posts instead of posting the same copy/pasted drivel without answering any...

    Publish or Self-publish?

    What have you actually accomplished when you have self-published your book? Will it be on display in any book stores? Will any potential readers hear about it? Will traditional publishers read your book? Will the readers be impressed by the lack of professional editing etc? Do you think its...

    Let's Smash The Literary World Into Bits With A Wrecking Ball! It'll Be Fun!

    I think that perhaps if you didnt try so hard to be different but concentrated on writing something that was actually good people would not be so ready to laugh at you. There is no point in beeing different just to be different. It has to add something to the story or whatever you are writing...

    Let's Smash The Literary World Into Bits With A Wrecking Ball! It'll Be Fun!

    This may very well be true, but it doesnt make your writings any better. Refusing to publish you must be one of their good ideas.

    Still i think the karma thing works much better in for instance technical support forums. I doubt the reputation would be truly based on the quality of your posts in this forum. It probably would be more of an indication of how many people agree with you.
