Thanks BB, will do. (Keanu Reeves starring I think??).

Yeah, but he isn't as annoying as he usually is.

He plays a brain dead retard. Great choice.

I can just imagine how his casting goes...

Film Exec: "Ok we have this idea for a movie called Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. We want Mr. Reeve's to play a stoner."

Keanu's Agent: "Perfect!"

Film exec: "The movie is called Point Break, he's an undercover cop."

Keanu's agent: "I don't know..."

Film Exec: "His cover is as a stoner."

Keanu's Agent: "Perfect!"

Film Exec: "the movie is called the Matrix, he's playing a guy that has no idea what is going on and is out of touch with reality."

Keanu's Agent: "perfect!"

Film Exec: "we're remaking The Day the Earth Stood Still, he'll play an emotionless alien that can't understand humanity."


You see a pattern here?

The Crow (Graphic Novel)

 

[HELLRAISER]

The Godfather by Mario Puzo and it's a very enthralling book

Reach - Don Bajema.

The fuckin' sports pages. And I'm cryin' my fuckin' eyes out. :weeping:

Check out the film when you can. It's probably the most true to form adaptation of one of Dick's novels. It's a really good film too. :hatsoff:

I have not read the book, but the movie is awesome. I saw it twice in theaters. I have also read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" and found it to be a nice companion piece to the movie "Blade Runner" in the fact that both book and movie share the same objective, but it's done in different ways.


:hatsoff: :thumbsup:

The Great Gatsby......again

 

[thegunner]

Jesus, I didn't realise the thread had grown to quite large proportions!

Anyway, I'm going to start Xenophon's Hellenica for my course, and I'm also picking bits and pieces from Derren Brown's 'Tricks of the Mind'.

Also reading Phil Gordon's 'Little Green Book'.

Fear Itself by Jonathan Nasaw

rereading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

 

[Tatyana]

Just finished reading "The Dark Tower" series by Stephen King - now that's a great mind fuck if you ask me. Now I'm reading "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown, not nearly as interesting. I'm going back to Stephen King next, going to read the new one, "Under the Dome". Anyone finish that yet? It's so long.

Consider Phlebas - Iain M Banks

This comes with quite a reputation. So far it's good but I'm only about 50 pages in so who knows.

Beyond Good and Evil - Frederick Nietzsche

I haven't actually started this but I probably will later today.

 

[PlasmaTwa2]

I am reading Forrest Gump by Winston Groom. It's rather different from the movie, though that's not really a good thing.

 

[mrtrebus]

The Olivetti Chronicles - John Peel.

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

"A Cold Treachery" by Charles Todd. I really enjoy the Inspector Rutledge mysteries.

 

[BlueBalls]

I have about 20 pages left of Bertrand Russell's A History of Western Philosophy which is fine if a little long winded. I would advise those who are tempted to read it (if there's anyone out there tempted to read it ) to not take it as an actual history - although he is quite thorough - because part of it is a lot of Russell's own opinions on events - which he makes perfectly clear in the introduction, I just thought I'd point that out. I would also say take everything after Hume with a grain of salt because Russell has quite a few misgivings with those who come afterwards and that shines through.

I've also just started Under The Volcano by Malcolm Lowry.

The Lost Symbol, by Dan Brown

nice thriller!
