Yes! The Tiffany Aching books are so not YA. They are adult books that happen to have a child protagonist. I love them a lot, especially how Terry's view of the role/characterisation of girls and women in his stories changed after his daughter was born. He started to see them as fully formed characters, rather than…

I thought I was the only one. When I saw the film in the theater I couldn't hold the tears back. Its such an amazingly complex scene. I mean, Elastagirl is being a badass with the way she's flying the plane and talking on the radio but at the same time there is this absolute horror and panic over the safety of her…

I took it that since Adam was the Anti-Christ and they all gathered at his command, when he said, "No," they had to go, just as the hellhound had to become a terrier with a floppy ear.

Posts about Idiocracy always make me think of this xkcd

interesting to juxtapose that bit with syndromes monologue later on. "When everyone is special....... no one will be! "

This. When Dash sees the missiles just off the wing, and the tone in his voice when he says, "Mom...?" just kills me every time. Still my favorite superhero movie ever.

The follow-up comments are true, too. There were so many amazing moments in this movie. It said more than most "dramas," primarily because it wasn't afraid to. So many dramas limit themselves. Pixar never even considered these limitations and ended up with so much depth in so many of especially their early films.

What always hits me the hardest about Pratchett's books is looking at them through the light of his health problems. I recently read Raising Steam, and it was as glorious and beautiful as any of his books, but I know he has been having to dictate the last few books because his brain no longer knows how to physically…

With that scene? The whole flippin movie is a masterwork of what family really means. The line "you keep trying to start a fight and I'm just happy you're alive" stays with me to this day as a perfect way to illustrate what's truly important when times get deeply effed up.

Another great bit of dialogue—

I'm still waiting for the sequel.

Once I read Pratchett, I was done with Douglass Addams. Pratchett engages every few pages in the sort of word play Addams manages four or five time in a book, and at the end,,even his most nonsensical jokes become deep insights into some pretty surprising philosophical points.

The only Pixar film that truly deserved a sequel, possibly the greatest superheroes to not originate from a comic book.

SUPERMAN...

Some of the Discworld books hit harder than others. I'll put up Night Watch against most serious science fiction time travel.

I've often thought that Idiocracy was the prequel to Wall-E

Back in March my creative writing teacher at my college introduced me to Discworld after she said one of the stories I wrote for class reminded her of Pratchett's writing. She was shocked I've never read any of his before. She gave me "Gaurds! Gaurds!" to read and I've been buying the books like crazy ever since! Its…

I saw this for the first time on TV when I was about 10 years old and wondered why everyone hated this man who had obviously created something absolutely amazing. It took a few more years for the reality of how the world works to catch up with me.
