  1. On the one hand  :yahoo:  .. on the other :wibbly: (please don't ruin one of my fave books). I like Geoffrey Rush but he's not at all how I imagined Hans to be .. ditto Emily Watson but sometimes this is the case and then all your doubts disappear when you watch it .. fingers crossed this is one of those times. John Williams has composed the score which is brilliant.

    I'm hoping the voiceover on the trailer is just that .. and not the voice of Death. I am starting to stress about it and I didn't know of it's existence until today :D If they get it wrong I'll hunt them down and ... and ... give them a right good telling off :motz:  :D 

     

    I am with you!

    I hope they don't ruin a great book.

  2. This is one of my favorite horror reads. It was adapted into Manga but I haven't looked into that. I did find the movie though and have to say it did not come close to the book ,meaning the book gave me the psychological horror that I do enjoy but the movie sucked. 

  3. A very good friend introduced me  to this group.This is what I have been hooked on lately but I am a fan of all kinds of music. Janis Joplins Take another Piece of my Heart is the top on my list.

  6. Some of the Blackhawks players came on stage at the Rush show I went to at the United Center last September, and then the band played Chicago again in June this year, and they brought the Stanley Cup itself along:

     

     

    :D

    That must have been a great experience !

     

    My favorite game is the Canadiens vs. Maple Leafs. :D

  7. Lots of people talking about classic/vintage short stories - do many people here read short stories by contemporary writers?  

     

    I've just started the collection Once You Break A Knuckle by D. W. Wilson.  I saw him at ShortStoryVille in Bristol last year, and the story he read an excerpt from was in this collection, and has been on my wish list since then.

    I have avoided reading contemporary stories, I don't know why,maybe it's because I feel that they won't  be close to the classic writers. Any good suggestions to start with?

  8. So upset to see it finish. I hope they don't go weird and mess it all up.

     

    I am thinking they might have a spinoff with the kid he is "mentoring" ,but nobody will be Dexter again.

  9. No love of Ice hockey since 2012  eh?

    That will definitely change if I am around.

     

    Has anyone gone to see a game?  There is nothing like it  I tell ya.

  10. Sometimes there is nothing more exciting than a well depicted Graphice Novel. (well, maybe chocolate :D )
