Molly Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Has anyone read "And Another Thing..." by Eion Colfer? It's meant to be the sixth book in the Hitchhiker's Guide Series, written by an Irish author and with permission from Douglas Adams' widow. Does it suck, does it not, does anyone know?

dc20willsave Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Think I'm getting out of my little creativity rut. Spring Quarter starts up tomorrow. Taking a Fiction Writing Seminar and I'm going to be running an Exalted campaign in my spare time so yeah, I'm forcing myself to be creative this next quarter. Now just to get through the next couple of weeks intact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Ricky Martin came out of the closet. Color me totally not surprised. Tom Cruise and John Travolta, maybe you should look at this and realize, "If you're fooling no one, maybe you should just stop lying."

Stavros Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Went to the Bloomsbury Theatre in London tonight to see a variety music/standup show headlined by Alan Moore. Fucking GREAT. Until you've seen Alan Moore singing backing vocals on a song about tarantulas you can't claim to have a truly rounded picture of the complexity of the world. It was basically short 10 minute sets by each act, some well known, some not so, but they were all superb. Stewart Lee did a short set, his wife Bridget Cristie did some standup about the plight of ants in the comedy world whilst dressed in a deliberatly shit ant costume, Kevin Eldon did three short sets as various characters and we got a lot of music throughout as well. Moore himself gave a short 10-15 minute lecture/standup set on religion and the dangers of being bound together in one belief, regardless of whether that belief was faith in a god or a political system or whatever. Fascinating and hilarious evening, well worth the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Okay, this term's classes are going to be awesome beyond measure. Biological anthropology is the only one that'll be meh of the three, but it's still pretty solid; Bizzarchaeology is going to look at archaeological myths/hoaxes, like King Tut's Curse and Atlantis, and why they exist (mainly as explanations that actively go against mainstream forms of knowledge and use alternative forms of knowledge), and can also be used to explain the birther movement in America; and for The Art of Film, we'll be looking at the following films - Chaplin's The Gold Rush (which we did today), Eisenstein's Potemkin, Welles' Citizen Kane, DeSica's Bicycle Thief, Fellini's 8 1/2, Godard's Breathless, Kurosawa's Yojimbo, Hitchcock's Psycho, Penn's Bonny and Clyde, and Rush's The Stunt Man, all of which I have never seen.

Nicolette Opal Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hannah: I hate Citizen Kane. Soooo hard. I do not envy you having to study it. On another note, look at what Dean Ween is doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I agree about Citizen Kane. A bloated engine of boredom that doesn't stop. Infinitely inferior to Touch of Evil in every way. Also, I wouldn't dare go fishing with Dean Ween for fear of hearing the words of the Golden Eel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 When you get to discussion of Citizen Kane, bring up the huge plot hole (Kane dies alone with no one in the room and he whispers Rosebud as he dies. The entire movie is about a reporter trying to find out the meaning of his last word. How the hell did anyone hear it?) Depending on the kind of professor you have, he might have a conniption or congratulate you on noticing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like calling it a spoiler to say that in Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Buffy slays vampires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
