Absolutely disagree. The book has far more nuance - not only with the fairy story, but with the "editor" explaining his relationship with his father and his son. And I loved the little tidbits about what he "edited" out of the "original" book.

…The book is better. *cough*

OooohhhHHHHhhhhooooooo, the Brain Cloud means I'm gonna go!
(Go Go Go)
To the afterlife!
(Go GO Go)
Can't take a wife
(GO go go)
Or I'll cause her too much strife!
So I'm gonna gooooOOOoooooOOOOOOO!
(Chorus joins in, with deep, heavy tones)
To the VOOOOOOLLLLL CAAAAAAYYYYY nnnnNNNNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!

My parents weren't overly permissive, but I didn't actively try to sneak anything as a kid - books were my favorite story-telling device, and my mom believed that holding back an avid reader was stupid. And anything I encountered that was "older" probably wouldn't warp me too much in the long run. I also cozied up to…

Also living. Living will eventually kill you.

Who else here is an apostle of Scrooged?
That ending gets me every time, man - Little Love in Your Heart plays, little boy speaks, and I'm like, Niagra Falls.

Van Helsing was wretched. But the ending was saved for me when, at the point where we see Love Interest in the clouds, happily in heaven, someone in the theatre called out "Remember who you are, Simba!"

I'm in category 4 - why should I care if any professional athlete "dopes"? Especially for any sport where the goal isn't to win a game with rules, but to win a race?

…I would watch just so much hunky Monet. Just so, so much.

Three things:

Shut your whore mouth, nilbog. Cookie is real in our hearts.

"He could become…a LAWYER!"
*gasps* "I won't listen!"
"An orthodontist!"
"Mama, stop!"
"President!"
"Please, I beg you! Take me!" *weeps*

*slow, terrifying smile*

That's cool! I wish History would do the same, then.
