I’d like to read it too. *folds hands submissively* please?

*gulp*

*covers face with hands* @Daeus please.

@Daeus LOVE IT!!!!!! XD XD

@Daeus send it to me.

@Christi-Eaton Yes! They show quite a few of their things on there for a limited time after airing them on TV. They are normally on for two to four weeks, so since the fourth episode just came out, I’m not sure if you’ll still be able to watch the first episode or not for free or if you’d have to buy and watch them elsewhere first… Here’s the…[Read more]

I could happily strangle you, @anne-of-lothlorien for tagging me on a post like that on Monday morning. No warning of spoilers either. Mom, Joy, and I watch Poldark (love the show) but we can’t watch it live so we stream it from the PBS Masterpiece site on Mondays (did you know you could do that, @Christi-Eaton? PBS has it for free on their site…[Read more]

@Emma-Flournoy well yeah, but Kili as a character could have been better done even without the Tauriel fiasco. :/

@Anne-of-Lothlorien hm… ‘Out of the Mouths of Children’? Okay, that may be a little long and a little obvious… 😛

I really like @Daeus‘s ‘I’ll Fly Away’.

Aaaaaand I’m drawing a blank. I’ll let you know if I think of anything else though.

@Anne-of-Lothlorien no, I haven’t. And please don’t remind me of Kili… *groans* I like him much better in the book. 😛

SO, I offer you sympathy. *offers sympathy on a silver platter* But I really can’t relate. XD

@R-E-P sure, no problem. I work best with examples too. 😉
So take this first paragraph: The wind whistled through the crenelations on the castle wall. To Carl, it was a common place sound and he was not consciously aware of it. Regardless, it made a fitting backdrop for his boyish imagination as he planned a strategic mission against the wily…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy I love Little Dorrit, and most of the other Dickens movie/mini series out there.

@sarah-h I’v heard of I am not Ashamed and it looks really good though I’ve not seen it yet.

I really want to see Priceless too.

And The Great Escape and The Imitation Game are really good. I didn’t care for Unbroken as much, but that was because…[Read more]

@Sarah-H it’s a Dickens— about the youngest daughter of a debtor’s family who has to work to help her father pay his way out of debtor’s prison. Love story, but so much more— it’s about family, and sincerity, and courage and determination and self-sacrifice— it’s one of my all time favorites. Definitely recommend it.
As with all Dickens,…[Read more]

@mark-kamibaya The Inkheart books are even better. The first one seemed a little slow because the movie quickened everything so much, but I still liked it and I loved the next two. Inkdeath was my favorite.

Yes I’ve seen the Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock Holmes movies. They are pretty good. I’ve seen the Martian too. A few objectionable parts, but…[Read more]

@R-E-P ah yes, thank you. I’m not sure what was going on with the first one; it’s working now. *headscratch* Oh well.

I did enjoy this story— loved the humor, and I also really love the way you incorporated the Leviathan passage. That’s one of my favorite passages, btw. 😉

The biggest problem I noticed was quite a bit of telling, versus…[Read more]

I wish I could be there, but I’m going to be gone… 🙁

Yay @Bluejay! That’s awesome!

Congratulations @bluejay! That is splendtastic!

@Michael-Stanton I haven’t, but that’s just because I’m a technological dinosaur and don’t have an account on any of those social media sites myself. 😛 I’m going to be getting Facebook at least, as I understand it’s crucial to marketing, but right now I’m still happily hermiting with just this forum and my mom’s email. 😉

@Daeus that’s wonderful.

Well… the only input I could offer is, just explain how books are supposed to mirror reality because reality is truth, and in the long run ‘… the truth shall make you free.’ That probably goes without saying, so I don’t know how helpful that’ll be, but I hope it is, anyhow.
