I've been to the Quabbin quite a few times as a child, roll down a hill, hike on some trails, spot some bald eagles. I don't think gasoline boat motors are allowed on the reservoir, except maybe...
What game was this??? I swear if this is Bioshock Infinite I'm gonna be heated about spoilers.
Currently reading Windeye, a horror short story collection by Brian Evanson, and Fragile Things, another collection by Neil Gaiman.
I didn't like this season finale, it was definitely anticlimactic, and the show's pacing has been horrible since the start of last season. Also, I can't understand characters' decisions or reasoning...
Around thirty inches of snow from Friday to Saturday! Yay! Governor banned non-essential traffic from 4 pm Friday to 4 pm Saturday.
I hate this weather. Even got a dusting this morning.
Finished Wind Through the Keyhole, which I thought was great, and now about halfway through The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein.
All right, I'll take the bait, although I think I've spoken about this before.
Wolves is my least favorite of the Dark Tower series. It's the follow-up to what might be my favorite, Wizard and...
Just finished the Codex by Douglas Preston and the third book in the Game of Thrones series, and now I'm starting in on The Wind Through the Keyhole. It's pretty great to be back in Mid-World again.
Currently reading Equal Rights, a Discworld book by Terry Pratchett.
PS... Boy's Life is my favorite McCammon book so far.
I'm reading Pattern Recognition by William Gibson.
I didn't read much of the comics, maybe five of the graphic novels, but in regards to the hive mind...
No, they don't share a hive mind in the comics, at least that was not revealed in what I've...
Yeah, I thought this was a good one, too, Sigmund. And next week looks like its got potential. So many walkers!
In the comics, everyone is already infected with the zombie-virus. You do not...
I've got a love/hate relationship with this show. It's got great production values, the acting and writing are both pretty good. But why does every zombie have its lips chewed off, exposing the...
I watched Velvet Goldmine. It had a decent soundtrack but it was soooo boooooring. Ugh.
And I think Ewan McGregory sodomizes Batman in the film. Yeahhhhh...
Yeah, I liked this episode a lot. I must admit that Shane has become one of my favorite characters. I don't like the guy, and certainly wouldn't want his crazy ass around in a zombie apocalypse,...
I watched Thor. I didn't really like it. It was technically okay, but it just wasn't for me. A little too silly.
I watched Drive as well. It was a cool flick, but be warned that it's pretty artsy. I thought Ryan Gosling's character was awesome though, he reminded me of Eastwood's man with no name, or even the...
Can't explain that one. He still lives in Ireland? That seems kind of weird to write about Maine instead of your own backyard, unless it's absolutely necessary to the story.
PS. Cider House is...
Have you read any of Richard Stark's books, blunthead? They're pretty good, and remind me a bit of Elmore Leonard or James Ellroy (though I gotta admit it's been probably ten years since I picked up...
Maybe 'cause we're all such King fans we get an extra large dosage of Maine? I dunno. Irving is from New Hampshire, so he probably knows Maine pretty well.
The Perfect Host. A dark comedy starring David Hyde Pierce (Niles from the sitcom Frasier) as an insane host to a criminal that has bluffed his way into David's home. It was interesting and I...
Last night's episode was okay. It was nice to see Rick finally show off some bad-assery at the very end. And next week's episode looks even more promising.
I think the Talking Dead is sort of...
I watched Contagion. I know a lot of people on the board didn't like it for whatever reasons, but I enjoyed it. I thought it was interesting and pretty realistic (then again, what the hell do I...
I agree completely that the CGI was hit or miss. Sometimes it was stunning, and at other times it looked...well, like CGI. But I can deal with some mediocre special effects if the story is decent. ...
