Gotta know. Is he inspired by Cthullu? Sure, its six legs instead of eight, but then again, I don't really recall how many legs ol' tentacle breath had.

I searched the forum, but did not find the topic:


Anya is the first Dog Lady we see eating, and she eats only what the plants discard: grains, nuts and fruits. She won’t eat leaves because she doesn’t want to hurt the plants.

And yet, she smokes a lot. Cigarettes are made with tobacco leaves.

So, what does exactly Anya smoke?

I don't remember this little gem of a movie being mentioned before. Don Cheadle stars as Petey Green, an ex-con who became a reknowned Washington D.C. disc jockey during the end of the 60's by 'telling it like it is'. His popularity really soared by staying on the air all night the day of Martin Luther King's assasination helping to restore order to an enraged city. It is based on actual events and Cheadle and Vondie Curtis hall are both exceptional in the leads.

Man how did you guys manage to survive the weeks between shows? I watched the entire first two seasons each in less than a week-this dragging it out over the course of 12 weeks mkight be more than I can bear-or is it bare?

Anyway I think Dexter will make an excellent father, don't you? What about Deb's new look and who will she hook up with this season? Will another Doakes show up to haunt Dex or will he be free of his co-workers scrutiny? Or will Jimmy Smits, or his brother,character take his place. All in all, I'd say it was the weakest of the 3 season openers(his kill was positively amateurish) but I have faith that it will pick up.

Hi all, I hope you guys can help me. Does anyone know what the Limited Editions (signed) of The Haunted Air are going for? The only ones I see are on ebay for $125 and on amazon for $599! Do you think the $125 is a good deal or is the $599 artificially inflated? They actually have more than one book at the $599 price at amazon and those are old library copies, but I cannot find anyplace that can give me an idea of the value of this book. Can anyone help?
Thank you!

For all those that love a parody or two as this case may be. Cartoon Network is showing the parody episodes of Star Wars from Family Guy and Robot Chicken. Both running back to back on Thursday October 2nd. It starts at 11PM here on my cable network. Even though I have seen them many times.....I never fail to laugh my self silly.

I just saw this about a week ago. It was meh for me. I was a fan of the show on HBO and the movie just wasn't on par with it. I would have much preferred for them to have concentrated on a brief period, instead it spanned over 6 months.

I get that Big was always a little iffy when it came to marriage, but [SPOILER]him not getting out of the car because she didn't look at him [/SPOILER]was such crap. My wife was tsk-tsking, but I was eye-rolling as it just came off as unbelievable bad writing to me.

Just now I heard this sad news at CNN.


Paul Newman died. I really missed him. I always enjoyed his movies. "Cool Hand Luke", "The Sting", "Slap Shot".... and of course "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" was his best movie.



R.I.P., Paul Newman.....:cryin:

After a summer break, I'm back to work. So far, my master's work has been outlined: The Paradigm Shift in Horror Literature/Pre and Post September 11, 2001. Thanks again to those who guided me with the older horror authors. HP Lovecraft, Stephen King, Robert Bloch, and Ray Bradbury make up the first three chapters of the book. I tried to select authors that only wrote prior to 9/11/01, those who have only written after 9/11, and those who have written in both eras. I am arguing that pre 9/11 horror is bolder than post 9/11. Pre has supernatural elements based on the "unknown," while post relies on suspense and mystery.

Which brings me to fpw.

The Adversary Cycle contains more elements of horror than the Repairman Jack series. The AC books contain more horror (for example, the horrors that Father Bill is subjected too). The RJ series deals more with loss, emotional misplacement, and conspiracies. Both series lead up to Nightworld, but their approaches differ, I believe, based on the time frame of 9/11.

If you would like to help, try to keep this thread on topic. How do the RJ books compare, book for book, with the AC series. Which RJ book compares to The Tomb, for instance? And so on.

I picked up a few fpw books at a dusty old bookshop in Pasadena, where I went with AC and his bro to see the latest Takashi Miilke film (a western, of all things). The books are Freak Show, The Healer, and Shock Rock. I'll be reading them (for the first time) to see if there's anything I can use for chapter four, which deals strictly with fpw's oeuvre. Thanks ahead of time for the help. Swing away. Criticism is most welcome. If I can't take it form you, how will I take it from my advisor?

IN Gateways, when Anya and Jack are going to the site of he accident, Anya sees old alligator tracks. She knows they are old because the mud is dried. If Florida is in the biggest drought in history, where does the mud come from?
