Oh duh! And dont you dare say, "you dumba$$ Yankee." Climac

I think this needs to be clarified: Does this question refer to the book versus the film adaptation. Or does it refer to literature in general as opposed to cinema in general??? Climacus

Check out the cover to my book: Climac

I am reading: R. Scott Bakker The Darkness that Comes Before Good stuff. Fantasy with an real world edge. Climac

A Hero is one who performs a hero act or heroic virtue. This act or virtue is anything that goes beyond the call of duty, or beyond the normal range of human actions. The deed of the hero can be physical in nature or spiritual. Physical eg a heroic deed in battle, spiritual eg putting oneself in...

Any army that has a cavalry in it. Especially the coalition of tribes led by Sitting Bull at the Battle of Little Bighorn. Boy did Custer get his comeupons that day! Climac

I agree with what another person once told me. He said something like some artists have a heightened sense of reality and where it is going. And so in their works we can see hints of the future. It is not prophetic in the fullest of senses. Climacus

Cause Bush is too busy on the "Internets" searching for "The Google."

Just saw the new Masterpiece Theater Version of Wuthering Heights. Astonishing, has anyone seen this? I love it. Love the acting, sets, music. Its a gem. I like it way more than the original black/white, though it did take two times to get used too. Any thoughts? Climac

dustinzgirl, I agree with your critique. In the end I just wanted to know how it sounded. It fits into the book, cause the book is strange. I am writing a sort of fantasy about a king who I believe will rise up in real life. I will post it here soon if anyone is interested. Climacus

dustinzgirl, this poem is so dark, lonely, and despairing it cheers me up! Anyhow it flows beautiful, in the meter I felt the words. In other words it works beautifully. Climacus

The Millenium Falcon all the way baby!!! Climacus

One of my votes for greatest warrior is Richard the Lionheart. He took back Jaffa from Saladin with 55 men by attacking from the beach! He was outnumber 55 to a few thousand and within a few weeks he took back the city. What daring. . . As far as military genius I am leaning toward...

How about a thread dedicated to this subject? Let's try to set some criteria, like for Greatest Military Genius we could say how many battles he won against odds etc.

Check out this poem I wrote for my book: The Great Monarch shall be as: Eloquent as King David, Generous to the poor as St. Edward the Confessor, Stark and penitential as St. Louis IX, Zealous as John Hunyadi, Ferocious in battle as John Sobieski, A Savior to Europe in honor of the Virgin as...

Me too Hoopyfrood. There is definitely a what I call destiny-level to it. So something fantastic must happen. The only problem is that they have season 5 written already so it might not happen for a while. Climacus

Maybe the whole point of "Lost" is to make the audience lost. Climacus

A couple of thoughts on last night's episode: First- To me Echo's death was disappointing. That "thing" that killed him looked so stupid and fake. Two- I loved the literary reference when Julie entered that tape in. She said it was "To Kill a Mockingbird" Three- That was creepy when that...

Chakras If you decide to have the story take place in India you should add the idea of chakras somewhere, like as a source of magic or powers. Climacus
