“Get busy living or get busy dying...that’s goddamn right.”

My favorite genre as a middle schooler was young adult adventure novels. And I don’t think I’ve ever quite grown out of it. I freakin’ loved The Three Musketeers when I read it at age 12.

I think Tolkien was brilliant and had amazing ideas, I just don’t think he was that good as a novelist. His writing is very dry and academic at times.

Stanley Tucci elevates almost anything he’s in.

Do they still do novelizations of movies? I feel like that practice has died out (aside from some franchise and genre movies - I’m sure Star Wars still does it).

My dad still has a crush on Jenny Agutter because of that movie.

Yeah, James Fenimore Cooper was not the greatest writer. Also I just looked this up, and apparently the movie is based more on the 1936 screenplay for an earlier adaptation than it is on the original novel. Good move.

I think the book version of The Two Towers is the most egregious. First half: ooh exciting battles and adventures with Aragorn and a returned Gandalf! Second half: oh my god, I wish Frodo and Sam would just die already how long have I been reading this.

And at least with Death Wish, it was Charles Bronson doing those things.

Edge of Tomorrow, don’t you mean Live, Die, Repeat? God what weird decisions made by that studio.

My dad is retired military (and competitive target shooter) and he always ends up nitpicking the clumsy way that actors tend to hold and handle firearms. Not Keanu, though. When we watched John Wick 2, he commented that he must have had someone really good teach him and that he must have actually paid attention.

I think it should be spelled with a “j”.

Seriously. I made one off-hand comment on the “Cards Against Humanity” article two days ago and I got about a dozen people telling me what an idiot I am.

Somebody let everyone on the TIF and AVOCADO know that it’s safe again.

Ah, the return of the James Franco pic.

Well she’d hate to go more than 30 minutes without a photograph being taken of her.

And you can sort comments chronologically! And they nest properly! Huzzah! Kinjaimprove will save us finally!

It can be two things.

Can we bring back William Jennings Bryan so he can angrily yell about the silver standard?

It’s that “I’ve had an insane amount of work done to make my face look like every other millionaire’s wife” look.
