    Urban Legends 3 - Bloody Mary water down the first 2 UL movies, add (steal) elements of Final Destination, The Ring, Stir of Echoes and a few of the really lame urban legends they didn't already use in the first 2 movies and you get a laughable straight to video sequel. It's crap horror...

    Where do you go to find out of print books?

    i found stuff on abebooks that i couldn't find on ebay, half.com, or amazon. Alibris is okay, but I think the majority of their stuff is overpriced.

    Paul Ruditis: Rainbow Party

    the book never plainly states, "no, rainbow parties are bad" but it also never says "yes, you should have rainbow parties." it does leave the reader to make their own decision, but it asks them to consider the reason why they'd want to participate in one, and definately states that doing it...

    Who's at fault? Parents, TV, Kellogs, Kids, Nickelodian?

    today at work i was ringing up a customer and her child kept screaming about wanting a book and interrupting her. She told him that he was being rude, but didn't do anything about it. She asked her husband to take the child outside and he just ignored her, so the kid just sat there screaming...

    Paul Ruditis: Rainbow Party

    How can you say the book is promoting the idea when you've never read the book? I would let my kids read the book because of the way it treats the party. The book clearly shows that every action has a consequence and things like this should be rushed into or taken lightly.

    Who's at fault? Parents, TV, Kellogs, Kids, Nickelodian?

    i was about to say the same thing. the parents just want someone else to say no to their children so they don't have to. they want to blame their children's problems on everyone and everything BUT themselves. Seriously, if a parent has that much trouble telling an 8 year old they...

    George Orwell: Nineteen Eighty-Four

    I'm one of those people. I guess when I think Science Fiction I think alien worlds, elves, dwarves, hobbits, and things like that. One thing that surprises me about 1984 is the amount of parents that come in to the bookstore to buy the book for their kids, and they ask about it like they've...

    Margaret Atwood: The Penelopiad

    this was the second Atwood I've read and I really enjoyed it. I can't wait to start Blind Assassin to discuss with everyone here. I also really enjoyed how she used the maids to act as a Greek chorus to help tell the story. I had it on my staff picks at work for a while, and was telling...
