Wait a minute, how do you know we should read The Road first if you haven't seen the movie? I think Tasha does a good job in this column (particularly the intro to this one) of not always blindly assuming that the book is "better," but since you haven't seen The Road yet, there's no way you could know how one medium…

Man, guess I was alone on this one. Me and Zodiac, that is. Whatever, he owns all your asses, anyway.

Hey man, I'm a film school grad, and I live in NYC, and I ain't got nothing bad to say about Dark Knight. Except that there should be sequels coming out every month.
