    The Dark Knight

    Comic movies from the 90s and back are more comicy (I made this word up which is perfectly legitimate); they are what people believed comics should be action comedies. Creators such as Stan Lee (one example) have developed more complex characters. Look at the original Batman tv series as an...

    Socially relevant Non-Fiction?

    I find that interesting, he must have used a shelter, which allows the homeless to use it as an address, and many do not. An interesting book is called Without a Net by Michelle Tea. It is a series of essays written by women from lower working class, and the difficulties of "class jumping”...

    Mr. Darcy or Rhett Butler????

    Mr. Darcy, I don't think it is possble to read the book and not fall for him. However, Rhett is great on his own as well. I have some ethic issues with all Scarlett needed was a bog strong man take her up stairs...

    The Dark Knight

    I agree, but for fangirls like me...the Joker was finally as scary as he was supposed to be. The comicbook Joker wasn't a mobster like in previous movies; he was seriously evil and without motive. I loved it. It is unfortunate Ledger won't be able to play him again.

    The Dark Knight

    I agree development of Dent's character was important. Ledger's Joker was amazing, and yes his death played a role, but people were praising him before his death, and he lived up to it.

    The Dark Knight

    The movie was awesome! Ledger was getting rave reviews about the Joker before his death. I thought the film was well acted, and the only negative was the writing (as well as some scenes which I doubt can actually happen, but I willing to suspend believe). I think Dent took away from the...

    The official 2012 apocalypse thread

    I think we are in need of Orson Wells' "War of the Worlds." I mean if we are all living in fear of end days why hasn't some genuis come out with a new one? With people buying to ideas like a war on terror clearly, at least in America, people love to be terified.

    Need ideas, help!

    I have been greatly enjoying the one you told me about spying in a coffee shop and writing everything you hear down. But I imagine it works better for short stories. Try objects and go from there...like your low-tops instead of situations. I would work with items most people don't look at...

    I think that word, mellow, should receive a renaissance. I am going to use it several times today.
