The original Alien, which I saw in the theater one lazy summer afternoon of its opening week (so no spoilers). Never in my life have I been so frightened, in a theater or under any other circumstances.

These are better and only 0.99 more:

I’ve always tipped with cash wherever I go, because I do not trust restaurant owners (especially corporate ones).

Matthew Modine does not get enough credit for his wonderful performance as the evil, evil “Papa.”

You should have kept reading. The number and variety of psychobabble catchphrases is simply unbelievable unless you read it for yourself.

I would say that this particular detail matters a great deal.

Tolkien had the name “Luthien” carved on his wife’s gravestone. I won’t go into the story of Luthien here—you can find the gist of it via search easily—except to say that per Tolkien, she was the most beautiful and perfect living creature to ever exist in the world.

I was unaware that Audrey Hepburn was maligned for her singing in My Fair Lady.

Victoria Jackson is the one who went rabid and is now a horrible horrible racist.

I agree about bad onion rings, but fries are NOT “hard to mess up.”  IMO more restaurants get their french fries wrong than right.

...dafuq?? Onion rings are not even listed? And you people have the audacity to call yourselves food writers. Shee.

Oh, God. Lisey’s Story, with the exception of some surprisingly astute and poignant observations about the unique intimacies of a long marriage, is a pointless, overlong ramble. It’s Big Steve’s verbal diarrhea at its worst (yes, worse even than The Tommyknockers).

Picture this: There’s a multi-millionaire out there who wants to remove your children from your home, and invalidate your marriage, because his God told him that you are less than fully human.

Holy shit, have you ever missed the point.

It cannot fail to fail.

I love Big Steve but he has no taste whatsoever.  I mean NO taste.  His recommendations are meaningless.

Funny..I loved the book, devoured it, up until that stoopit stoopit author’s-midlife-crisis-fantasy ending.

I consider it the best novel SK has ever written...for the same reasons that it is certainly the most painful, punishing story.
It’s literally the only work of fiction that I’ve ever thought certain people (new parents, the recently bereaved) need to be protected from.
