    Re: What are you reading? (continued)

    Just finished The Face that Must Die, by Ramsey Campbell. I wasn't too thrilled by it--in fact, I enjoyed the author's afterword more than the actual book. Now on to book four of Game of Thrones. ...

    Re: A Funny Thing Happened At The Quabbin

    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...

    Re: The Walking Dead **SPOILERS**

    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...
  6. Re: Stay warm and safe all my New England friends

    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.

    Re: Why is Wolves considered bad?

    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...

    Re: What are you reading? (continued)

    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.

    No, they don't share a hive mind in the comics, at least that was not revealed in what I've...

    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 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.

    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.

    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. ...
