They do appreciate it when you email them with corrections, I do it all the time. Not that hard and you don't look like an asshole when the typo is corrected but your comment exists in perpetuity.

Facebook is basically AOL of modernity. It's essentially a walled garden behind an account login where you can chat, share, read stuff, play games, look at photos and do whatever else without ever needing to type another URL in once you're there. This means it's pretty much what you make of it, the way a cellphone can…

I'm not a fan of Diablo Cody but a Sweet Valley High musical movie would change that forever.

When an animal is introduced in a thriller-type story I just assume it's going to die in a sad or scary way at this point. It's so obviously telegraphed most of the time :/ and yes, the cat dies in the book as a means of intimidating the main character by killing a cat he has come to like.

Also you know you just super-spoiled the third book like crazy...

Attention, attention: my first reply to this post was incorrect. She says "I tried to kill my father" and she never actually does kill him in the series.

Ugh does anyone read other comments before replying? I've said like 5 times I was wrong about her saying "I killed him" but she does say "I tried to kill him", referring directly to All The Evil as you described it.

OMG I know. Read any of my other replies. Sorry for the incorrect retelling at first!

I know, I know, I was wrong in my original retelling. She said "I tried to kill my father". GAWD. :)

Yeah, in theory they are two separate controversies - she tried to kill her father, and her father turns out to be Zalachenko. I still think it was shitty to include the line about trying to kill her father in the movie! It makes me wonder how much they really thought they would ever make a second one, in that it…

Yes, I was mistaken - she says "I tried to kill my father", but that still is not something you learn about her explicitly until midway through the second book.

I also just realized thanks to another poster that it's actually "I tried to kill my father" BUT STILL! :)

My bad, she says "I tried to kill my father". I still think that was a spoiler because they never tell you that that's what happened when she was 12 in the book.

See my response to BringBackTheBustle - Lisbeth tells Blomkvist explicitly that she killed her father, which is revealed over the course of the second book. By the end of the first book you know something happened to her that she calls "All the Evil" and that she spent time in an institution as a kid, but not why…

Okay hopefully no one who cares is reading this... At some point near the end of the movie she says to Mikael "I killed my father". This is NEVER revealed in the first book (only mentioned as "All the Evil" if I recall correctly) and is revealed over the course of the second book. You learn in the first book that she…

I was pretty pissed at the first movie for dropping a HUGE MAJOR SPOILER from the second book at the end. I was halfway through reading the second book when I watched it and while it's something that gets hinted at in the first book very subtly they straight-up just say it at the end of the first movie. I also thought…

I do love that franchise but the ones I love even more are 7th Guest (and to a lesser extent 11th Hour) and most of all the Gabriel Knight series!

Clearly you meant Phantasmagoria and not Phantasmagoria 2. I can tell not just from the accidental mislabeling of the screenshot but also because while Phantasmagoria was awesomely scary and gory Phantasmagoria 2 is one of the weirdest, most-strangely-sexualized game I have ever played, and is really not scary or gory…

I blame Facebook for a lot of this, and here's why.

I started getting a gray streak around age 21, no joke. Decided to start dying my auburn-y brown to a much darker near-black. Did so for 2 years, got many compliments. Out of nowhere, BAM, systemic allergic reaction all over my body. After nearly 3 years of growing it out again I'm back to all-natural and learning to…
