It if is indeed a "classic" up there with Toy Story why has toy story's popularity remained consistant and is a dvd staple for all children while maltilda fell off the face of the earth with no one remembering it?
Haven't seen the movie in years so I'd have to re-rate it, but as a kid it was a 10/10. Up there with Toy Story in terms of classic cinema for children :bow
teevee: I have a soft spot for trashy reality TV. And 90210. And if I am given free afternoons, I will rapidly get addicted to soap operas.
and TVC Time After Time is fucking awesome.

This week I've been looking at this one soap that has fantasy elements; it has blown my mind. I turned it on as this blind priest tried to get this woman to confess her sins, and you could only see the back of her head. Her voice sounded evil, then she turned around and BAM SHE HAS A DEMENTED CLOWN MASK ON

I had to call it off with Catherine Bell because of that shit. My heart still aches :'(
Yeah, looking over the list...maybe it's not THAT many, but Catherine Bell, Leah Remini and that hot middle eastern chick in Season 6 of 24... :gloomy
Slaughterhouse-Five is a bad book? Am Nintenho am distinguished mentally-challenged rererereconfirmed.
I'll finish it but it's absolutely awful so far. I don't get why this gets praise. I know what the basic plot is about because somebody told me but it's sounding pretty predictable and pointless so far.

Aside from mark twain american literature is totally subpar, dont listen to them. Fool the declaration of independence is probably as far as verbose new world erudition goes and it is partially copy pasted from two treatise of government.
Black Hawk Down is extremely bad. A disgraceful taken on a serious subject. Let me set you straight, lost sheep. Mr. Scott has three good movies.you havent seen KoH lol
Alien: 10/10
Thelma and Lousise: 10/10
Gladiator: 7.5/10
You can forget about everything else for it is either appauling (Kingdom of Heaven) or treasonous (Black Hawk Down)

Dude quit using 1900-2007 as your search engine restriction. The french single handedly sparked the enlightment era.Not really. The French were, more or less, the ones that carried the Enlightenment, but they were sparked by the Scientific Revolution and also the philosophy of John Locke, among others.
I fucking hate John Locke. All he ever does is fucking whine about destiny.I think you are 'Lost'.

I want to fuck David Hume. For whatever reason, I think David is a funny name for a philosopher. I just think of that DAVE'S NOT HERE Cheech and Chong bit and stuff.I love his turban.

Holy shit, I think thats worse than the fact that I love 'The Wizards and the Warriors' by Hugh Cook.
I think I have the worst taste in television here. I watch a lot of reality tv (American Idol, Next Top Model, Big Brother, Survivor). America's Next Top Model being the most embarassing one.
Aside from mark twain american literature is totally subpar, dont listen to them. Fool the declaration of independence is probably as far as verbose new world erudition goes and it is partially copy pasted from two treatise of government.yeah mark's pretty down but I believe people here said it was a good book but this is the farthest thing from good literature. I KNOW what to pay attention to in the story and it's boring me to tears.

Mark Twain is no RL Stein!
Read some Papa. You can't hate Hemmingway. A man's man.
Some one needs to teach me about American lit; I've read of mice and men, which was good, and tried to read Twains translations of joan of ark, which wasn't so great, thats all I know about out.spoiler (click to show/hide)British :heartbeat :heartbeat :heartbeat Dickens :-*[close]

Here's my list:
Huck Finn - Mark Twain, great writer and inventor of sarcasm and that literary phenomena where you say something crazy and don't mean it, but are just trying to show how crazy something is.
The Bible - Jesus, one of the greater white American authors. Invented the question mark
Battlefield Earth - L Ron Hubbard, the famed author and favorite artist of our next president, Mitt Romney
I'd like to recommend Faulkner right off the bat, but he is an incredibly talented, difficult writer, and I have a feeling that one should have a fairly nice understanding of 19th century American history before getting into his classics. Faulkner is, by a very very wide margin, the best American writer in the country's history.
What would you recommend first out of Faulkner's works, TVC? I'm fairly certain The Sound and the Fury is his most famous, right?
Also, 19th century US history is also the only really interesting period of US history outside of the immediate post-independence era, so brushing up on that is an added bonus.
I've never been able to read Faulkner. I always get like 60 pages into his novels then lose interest. The whole shared universe thing is kind of offputting. Any suggestions for a good starting point?

I just finished reading Slaughterhouse 5 and enjoyed it. Odd storytelling style. I started off reading it, not being all that enthralled with the book and then you're in the middle of Billy Pilgrim's ramblings and you're like "how did I get here?", but that sort of mirrors Billy Pilgrim, so it's cool.I had to read that in grade school, but I never finished it. I've always been meaning to pick it up again, though...
I think that Days of Thunder is an awesome movie. Top 3, along with Talladega Nights and Snakes on a Plane.
You should pretty much just be shot.the story has good parts and if you reconstructed it, it could make a film worth watching. the way it was written is pointless and there's really nothing for the reader to get out of it. it's a gimmicky book but the whole aliens idea was good and they could have used that in a much better way. I thought you'd hear about the aliens at the end, not the first 50 pages.

which would be impressive in a movie because it could show the way a reader would interpret what's going on and contrast that with the alien's philosohpies. that's not really something the WORDS in the book do.
I'm simple minded because I think this simplifies it's whole concept too much?
Listen, the story DOES WORK. Just because you didn't like doesn't mean it DEFINITIVELY DOES NOT WORK. Believe it or not, the book is widely acclaimed, not just by critics, but by tons and tons of readers out there. The defect, my friend, is with you.A. I am trying to give a very "unique" perspective only to piss people off.
Hey, it's got pre-crazy Tom Cruise and some great racing action. :-*I think that Days of Thunder is an awesome movie. Top 3, along with Talladega Nights and Snakes on a Plane.
I think you just won the thread. Holy shit.

C. I don't think it worked at all.
