I think Marilyn Manson may cover a dozen or so rumours in the book, among them the Wonder Paul myth which may be one of the most bizarre. I remember that I thought that his short stories written at a young age would have been included for humorous reasons. The book is like that in the way...

For me the cake was taken when Göran Persson the prime minister of Sweden was made an honorary doctor.

I enjoyed Marilyn Manson's 'The Long Hard Road Out of Hell'. It has plenty of "chock material" that feels like it's there just for the sake of it but that's still entertainment. Otherwise it's also a decent band biography from the perspective of the person that carries the same alias as the band...

Some of my favourites are: Battle Angel Alita by Yukito Kishiro Pixy and other works by Max Andersson This one is about an aborted foetus that calls his mother from the kingdom of death and blackmails her to read him stories on the phone. Her husband will naturally have to try to get into...

I'm putting 'Old Boy' and 'A Snake Of June' on my list of movies to see (I've had an interest of the movie 'Tetsuo' but I'm not sure if it's worth purchasing). The torture in 'The Isle' might not top the squid in 'Old Boy' but it's almost sophisticated. Just don't quote me on it because it's...

'The Isle' by Kim Ki-Duk? It's one of my favourite movies. It probably has the best animal cruelty I've seen in a film. If you like 'The Isle' then I would recommend 'Bad Guy' which is somewhat similar. On a general note Ki-Duk seems to like to include prostitution in his movies. I'm thinking...

There's a rumour that the bestseller It-Boy-Trilogy is fictious. I recommend: 'Sarah' & 'The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things' by JT LeRoy (supposedly partly autobiographic) 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov 'Die schwarzen Brüder' by Lisa Tetzner

I suggest trying: 'The Prydain Chronicles' by Lloyd Alexander ('The Book of Three' is the first in the series). 'The brothers Lionheart' (Bröderna Lejonhjärta) by Astrid Lindgren.

I don't believe that Pullman has made such a statement. Read the article Chris Weitz, New Line, 'The Times', and how to read on his website which states that his main quarrel is absolute power and suppression of freedom be it religious or not. There's also the concept in the books that is...

ions, has the topic really been covered in another thread? In the similar threads there's just one about finished fantasy series.

"Guerra en los cielos" by Punto Omega.

"Collective Suicide" by Terminal Choice. A very upbeat tune that can cure bluedom.

Don't let Johnny Depp or the kiddy fiddler keep you away from the movie. I'm not very fond of Depp's usual exaggerated acting but he's very much human in this movie.

I liked the graphic novel and I hope that V won't be more politically correct in the movie adaptation rather than the ruthless anarchist he is in the novel. The trailer is aesthetically impressive but it doesn't look like the film will be a hit. Too exaggerated and it seems like there'll be a...

Sweden does not have any age restrictions when it comes to books, there aren't any restrictions for purchasing movies, games or magazines either. It's up to the vendor to make the judgement. Personally I think that's just dandy. If parents have given a child confidence to to spend money...

I read the book after I had seen the movie and I very much prefer the changes that are in the movie. I found the "twist" in the book to be a bit dissapointing.

I've seen "Drop Dead Fred". Rik Mayall is much funnier in his television shows though I'm not very attracted to his Cnut. I've recently seen "Bully" which was quite entertaining even though I'm usually not fond of movies about troubled teens. The best movie I've recently seen has been "La...

Along the lines of dystopias I would recommend 'Kallocain' by Karin Boye. It's similar to '1984' although it was published before it. As a scientist that is trying to invent a truth serum that could make thoughts illegal the protagonist is more part of the suppressing system than the protagonist...

What do you feel about fireworks as dog owners? Certain fireworks are illegal in Stockholm and permit is officially required for the use of fireworks in general but it's not enforced during events such as new year's eve. One of the reasons for certain fireworks to be illegal and permit...
