Evita. Andrew Lloyd Webber pwns.

For me, 1. The Queen 2. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest 3. The Da Vinci Code

Actually, the thing I would have FAR preferred would have been for Haldir to rescue Frodo instead of Arwen or Glorfindel. Why? Because the first time I saw the Two Towers, in which I didn't even know who he was... I didn't remember him from the very brief introduction he'd been given in...

Don't waste your time with that movie. It was SOOOOOO badly done; it actually kind of ruined the greatness of the book for me. The child acting in the first half is sooooo painfully bad. Not to mention that the pure terror, Tim Curry or not, is just not attainable. Look for The Stand...

I didn't think It was among King's VERY best, but then again, I'm a huge fan of all of his work, so that's not saying too much. That being said, I thought that most of the book was very well-written, and the story of how he got the H on his chest was indeed very gripping. Also, the beginning...

That's my opinion as well. I particularly think that first-person was used effectively in The Bartimaeus Trilogy (I would put a URL in here but apparently we newbies are not allowed to), a little-known and underappreciated Young Adult book series, because it switches fluidly and effortlessly...

You can see it in my signature, and the explanation is in my profile, but I'll explain it anyway. It's fundamentally a writing project in which I was given premade characters and am writing a story based around those characters. Constructive criticism would be nice; everybody I've shown it to...

I wanted a place where I could partake of intelligent literary discussions (of which, I suppose, there are few on the Internet), and I found this site, it being the first thing to come up on Google when I searched "book forums". Huzzah! Please excuse my somewhat ornate language sometimes; it's...
