Robert Cormier published a book in 1983, therefore it was a golden year for YA.

My slight dislike of A.A. is nothing like my complete contempt for Mark Millar.

As will I.  The last few issues were all over the place, but I think that was because he had to compress the story.  I am looking forward to some long slow re-reads to help make all the connections.  A really great book overall, and with its cancellation, I am not buying a single DC issue on a regular basis anymore.

The weird thing about apartheid was when white people got sprayed with magic juice and were turned into black people.

Presto was my first Rush album.  (First song I heard was "show don't tell") Made me a fan for life.

I thought the music in the film worked quite well.  The muzak version of tears for fears playing in that scene with Veidt in his office was fantastic.

That is correct.

This was a really interesting and well written article.  This is the kind of thing I come to avclub for.

I would watch that movie.

What?  Nobody else has fond childhood memories of Gordon Korman books?

Alright, this is the thread for reminiscing over how much you loved Gordon Korman books as a kid.

@avclub-2a6ac9e5324952e36b40237cf2fcdad8:disqus If you think that a superhero encountering his weakness is 'contrived' you may wish to give up on every piece of genre writing ever.

Yeah, definitely a solid movie. I don't understand the hate for it either.

Sorted?

Yes, it is awesome.

Yeah, I was just thinking about Christopher when I saw your comment.  I would totally like to see a write up on him.  I am always trying to find his books, but the only ones I seem to see are the Tripods and Swords/Spirit books.

I didn't know about the book until today, OR that he was Bob Elliot's son until yesterday, when they played the Komodo dragon bit on the radio in honour of Bob's birthday.  I am so out of the loop.

Shut up, he's just at college!
