    Animal Corporation (a little change of pace)

    Great story, novella! I'm still trying to figure it out whodunnit. Right now, my money's on a dirty, rotten skunk.

    M. Night Shyamalan

    True. There's nothing worse than seeing a movie and finding out that every good scene was shown in the trailer. His definitely get you interested without giving away anything. I would second the MacGyver vote. His hair was pretty scary too. sirmyk, I've been planning on renting...

    M. Night Shyamalan

    You're right! That's a very important 80's television/vocab distinction you made there. Plus, MacGyver would have required a swiss army knife and some bubble gum if I'm not mistaken.

    M. Night Shyamalan

    Jen, I would like to see that tractor :) Ronny, as far as the fear of aliens goes, I imagine there were a few scenes that might have scarred you for life! That birthday party footage, the silhouette on the roof and the foot in the corn field :eek:

    M. Night Shyamalan

    I haven't seen Unbreakable but enjoyed the others very much. The thing that made Signs so good was the fact that you were seeing it all through the eyes of the family. There was a feeling of dread that built slowly through the movie. No flashes to Pentagon war rooms or over-the-top special...

    List your least favorite King novels

    My least favorites would have to be Rose Madder and Insomnia. There are some others that are kind of blah but those two were just painful.

    Guy Gavriel Kay - The Fionavar Tapestry

    I have to admit, I've become more interested in Magician during the second half but I still haven't decided if I'll read the others. Very nice shop, indeed :) It's a new discovery but I will definitely be visiting again.

    Guy Gavriel Kay - The Fionavar Tapestry

    Very kind of you to ask, Mr. Kay. It's growing on me quite a bit. To be honest, I had a little trouble getting into it at first but it's really grabbed my attention since then. I forget, what is your opinion of the book(s)? Have you read the whole trilogy? I was very excited to see all...

    best concert

    Novella, one of the best concerts I've ever been to was also at Red Rocks. Counting Crows put on an awesome show, full of emotion, with lots of improv and interaction with the crowd. Several of their shows since have really sucked though. Also saw U2 in a big show at Mile High Stadium...

    Requesting reccomendations based on my previously read books :)

    I believe the problem might be in the spelling. His name is David Gemmell. Hope that helps. As far as Jonathan Strange goes you'll have to let us know what you think. I absolutely loved that book. It's a very unique work and it seems like most people either love it or hate it. Sword...

    Interesting. They said they weren't currently taking new users but looks like they no longer charge. Is it much different than the satellite maps version?

    You gotta see this...

    Also, supposedly there's a similar site called keyhole.com or something where you can zoom in even further – possibly looking in windows close. I don't know if it's actually true because you have to pay for it but if so, it's very disturbing.

    You gotta see this...

    It's funny you posted this. My coworkers and spent most of Friday fooling around with this. Check out Niagra Falls, the Grand Canyon or even the Las Vegas strip. Also, an aerial view of ground zero absolutely blew me away. I've never been there so seeing how big of an area it is really...

    Moorcock Recommendations

    It is pretty confusing, as I've found while trying to decide where to start. I've also heard complaints that sometimes his attempts to tie so many books together can hurt otherwise excellent works.

    Moorcock Recommendations

    Ainulindale, thanks for yet another thoughtful and detailed response. I think I'll pick up War Hound And The World's Pain and maybe Dream Thief's Daughter and try to find the City In The Autumn Stars some other time. Definitely sounds like an intriguing premise. Just searching around the...
