I've seen the movie and then ordered the book but haven't read it yet. I was very impressed with the visual/cinematography as well and hope it helps visualize the action when I read the book in a few months. The scale of the Dunkirk rescue mission was massive and I'm glad have the movie to...

Merely an observation and not an affront - when I lived in LA and met Persians (and dated one for just a short time) while I was out with friends, they pretty much made it clear that they were not Iranians to be identified with the Ayatollah-controlled regime. This was in the mid-nineties. I...

Nice! I bet you stand out like a tetra!

Uh, huh. Right. You've been drinking poteen with 'em instead of learning how to trap 'em!

I read GWTW once about twelve years ago. It's time to read it again - maybe in a few months. I live about 185 miles from Atlanta so maybe I'll go check out MM's old stomping grounds. Is her house open to the public or is there an MM museum or sorts? Guess I should read the Marianne Walker...

Wellcome along then. And take us with you!

No, we were stopped at the red light at the time so it must have been someone else - no laws were broken if I remember correctly. So, you do have a blue convertible? I have a green one. :)

There's a lot to be said for personal freedom and keeping busy, especially within a marriage. Not to say it equates to serial adultery, just that spouses with the freedom to try careers and hobbies etc, without being joined at the hip to one another or chasing after the kids makes for...

I used to have a serious Oreo McFlurry thing and have bought so many at the drive-through that I certainly feel entitled to use their restrooms on road trips without buying anything at the time. Fortunately, the McFlurry machine at the McD's right down the street from where I used to live was...

I'd love to see a film adaptation of Robert R McCammon's Swan Song. At least The Stand got filmed though. But King is Hollywood proven so that Stands to reason!

Hortense MacInruder Jones - if I were to write clever mysteries for sweet old ladies maybe

I'm an accountant. It's tax season. I've got just over a month more of 55-60 hour work weeks and I'm taking a class at university one night a week. I'm firing major posts out on certain days as I try to maintain a certain level of mental balance! This is one of those days. :rolleyes:

May Mackenzie: Wow, you've turned into a right sexy wee bastard. Do you know that? ;)

Jimmy Buffett, and if he's not available, then Robert R McCammon Oh, why Buffett ? Because he's a superb storyteller, really laid back, he flies around very pretty islands in his own plances and he's a legend! I could probably help him out on any offshore fishing trip as I am a very good...

I was excited when I first started reading TMC because I've lived most of my life at one point or another where the author set the book. Ugh. She took too much license with the geography of the islands for me so I wasn't thrilled about that, but kept going. I didn't finish the book because...

Celtic rock most recently. Uncle Hamish and the Hooligans from Asheville NC and Enter the Haggis from Toronto.

Oh please .... they aren't fireflies you know! :p

I liked it. Best parts were definitely inside the store as the tension built between the forming factions. The creatures were kinda cheesy and the ending was crap. It did happen kinda fast after the escape scenes and the 'action' involving the religious faction leader. I haven't read the...

You sure you didn't catch the notorious Rip van Winklechaun? :eek:

No, actually I'm mostly of English, Scots, Welsh, and wee bits of other western continental European origin in that order. Very little true Irish at all! I just liked the clever green design of the trap, but expect that the little fellows are quite impervious to traps of any kind. Not...
