I kinda did myself, Drew (King anyway; must have read everything he wrote while I was in my teens). But I grew out of it. I remember I was reading a King novel – cannot remember which one – and there was a scene in which an old woman goes ballistic in a vet’s waiting room, shouting words like “cocksucker” and “motherfucker” (yeah, that’s realistic dialogue…). I threw the novel across the room and vowed that that was the end of me and Mr King (although I read a couple of his later ones recently – he IS a good storyteller, but that’s not enough for me anymore).

I don’t know, books can be like movies. Sometimes you just aren’t in the mood for The Seventh Seal and pop in Superbad. There’s room in literature for books that just entertain.
F*uckin’ Ishtar is the sh*t.
The lack of love that Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus is getting is a little disheartening.
Glemaud – that would be in the best films in the universe ever, undebated, simply fact thread
I’ve heard that MSGO has poor CGI. Screwitol.
That’s what makes it even more awesomerer than anything that’s out right now. Have YOU ever seen a mothafuckin’ SHARK JUMP and eat a fucking PLANE? I doubt you have. This shit was so epic.
As long as we’re on the subject of which Jurassic Park was the worst, I present

The defense rests, your honor.
(Actually, the scene where the trailer is falling off a cliff was an okay action set piece.)
I’m currently re-doing my top ten, but Cinema Paradiso is my favorite film ever. HM to Eternal Sunshine, Manhattan, The Bicycle Thief, and anything by Allen/Truffaut/Miyazaki.
