Raven

And dull . . .

I can spend up to an hour walking around my local Watersones if it is quiet and the mood takes me. If it is packed I just go for what I went in for and get out again quick!

I'm sure I've posted this somewhere on here before, but I prefer the film version of Starter for 10 over the book, because the film has the right ending (I felt hugely let down by the book).

But it has swears . . . and norks . . .

The Watch books are very good. Nightwatch is my favourite.

It's a great film, very atmospheric! (I do like a good B-Movie, and some bad ones as well!). Nolliag, I think you may have Trading Places in the wrong category! (unless you are talking about a different Trading Places to the Eddie "Potty-Mouth" Murphy film!). Another to add to my list: Ghostbusters. Not sure how I forgot that!

If twenty year old memories serve, I think Death pops up a couple of times in Wyrd Sisters.

I thought I posted in this thread last year, but looking back it doesn't look as though I did (was there another favourite films thread at some point?!). Never mind, my film CV looks a little, well actually a lot, like this: 12:01, A Night to Remember, Akira, Aliens, Amelie, Apollo 13, Back to the Future, Bladerunner, Clash of the Titans, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Cowboy Bebop, Donnie Darko, Enigma, Fargo, Fever Pitch, High Fidelity, Jaws, LA Confidential, Local Hero, M*A*S*H, North by Northwest, Pleasantville, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Rear Window, Sahara, Sideways, Sink the Bismarck!, Sneakers, Spirited Away, Star Trek, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, The Addams Family, The Dark Crystal, The Day the Earth Caught Fire, The Day The Earth Stood Still, The Dish, The Life of Brian, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Matrix, The Original Star Wars Trilogy, The Truman Show, To Catch a Thief, Tron, War of the Worlds (1953), When Worlds Collide, Zulu. Oh, and another one for Dogma! (And Spaced).

Hmm. I'll need to think about this one . . .

They are very good, I highly recommend them!

I like the black and white covers they are doing now (though I don't own any of them) but the Josh Kirby covers were a big part of a new Pratchett novel for me and I think the covers have been pretty bland and ordinary since his death (plus, they make for a more colourful bookshelf!).

Catcher in the Rye novelist JD Salinger dies at 91.

Not until you get to ten posts, I believe. Browncoats is a Firefly/Serenity reference!

In search of Stieg Larsson.

Of Mice and Men. SEXCNOISE

We got a Nandos takeaway at work last Friday, I do like their olives and garlic side.

Whenever I hear/see the name Miranda I get a vision of a skinny girl going nuts in a bar. Strange aside that, but welcome to the board!

I really need a bigger fork for this stir fry . . .

After the Quake By Haruki Murakami In January 1995 the Japanese city of Kobe was rocked by a devastating earthquake that claimed the lives of over 6,000 people and left another 300,000 homeless. After the Quake, a collection of six short stories, is author Haruki Murakami

Another, "I really should get around to reading this" comment [from me], as I picked up a copy last year in a 5 x Poirot novels for a fiver deal.

I think they are due to start in April. Not sure if that has been pushed back or not as there was some problems with the film rights, I believe. Seconded!

I do like that staircase book shelf, but the alternating step size looks lethal to me!

As much as I like Kenneth Moore, that version is very much the weaker of the three films that exist. Try to get hold of a copy of the original Hitchcock version, it really is miles better!

Hobbit delayed until 2012. Not entirely surprising, given that they haven't started filming yet.

I finally got around to watching part two of this last night. Oh dear . . . What a dreadful waste of time and money.
