It is an important book that is appreciated for all the wrong reasons. There is an immense danger to reading the book and not getting the right takeaways. Immersed in this "rape culture" most people are already in Humbert's head and this book reinforces their line of thinking which is really sickening. Reading this…

I never said it didn't have artistic merit. To call it your favorite book indicates a great deal of enjoyment from reading and re-reading the book. If reading this book doesn't make you profoundly uncomfortable then you have a disconnect that is frankly very concerning.

This book is number one for avoiding people who pronounce it as their favorite. Being able to be seduced by the beautiful language but not feeling disgusted while reading it…. does not say very complimentary things about a person.

As a new watcher of the X-Files my take on this episode was different. I grew up as a female nerd and would have probably liked this episode as a teenager but by the time this aired I was already starting to get sick of nerd stereotypes, especially male centric nerd stuff. "uh, look at the pretty lady, ahyuck" as any…

So husband and I have been going through all the X Files together. He was a fan and other than having seen a few episodes here and there and one of the movies I'm coming at it fairly fresh. I feel like Todd's 16 year old fandom really negatively colors his experiences of the show. when you come at it expecting things…

I finally finished Ulysses myself, it took me a year to read it. It was worth it for having suffered through reading the thing but now I'm reading about the book and *that* is an interesting story. Currently reading The Most Dangerous Book by Kevin Birmingham.

Wait what? I'm totally confused by this post. What is this puppies thing? I've now added the book to my list to read.

My kids watch too much TV, but I'm very picky about what they watch. I certainly started with Sesame Street since it was what I've remembered from my childhood as being good for, ahem, "preschoolers". I have since branched into a bunch of other things. I'm really surprised that Curious George wasn't mentioned. It's…

I kept getting annoyed by the predictable little girl story that kept interrupting the much more interesting and imaginative Little Prince story.

“theatrical minimalism,” which has long, static takes with plenty of
headroom. It also focuses on conversation over movement, with characters
often seated around tables; an eccentric pace, with time sometimes
passing non-realistically; a preference for handmade digital effects,
which aren’t intended to create an…

You are a riot.

It was over-hyped for me as well. As an aficionado of j-horror, I didn't find it very scary or groundbreaking. But it all went downhill fast for me at the end. I don't find torture porn scary, just gross.

Isaac, Sophie and Maisie, Kelly? They seem pretty normal to me. What names are "Precocious drama-school brat", other than Nell Tiger Free?

Basically, rape is real! But you know baby murdering, torture, stabbing a a pregnant woman to death, pushing a child out the window, poisoning a king (that was a very disturbing scene that everyone was cheering) that's all fantasy right? So you get this bizarre situation where everyone has issues with this one scene,…

America is full of haters.

Arrows up for this article. I laughed out loud, as it were.

I vote for kittens, it will be like a Battlestar LOL cats crossover.
