Woohoo, official off-topic thread!

I second that. The most important person to Peter has been replaced with an unattractive woman with a name that reminds me of a certain terrible TV show.

Wait, where do you see Nightcrawler dead?

I just now realized that Raziel's design was inspired by Nightcrawler's.

I am now watching High School of the Dead and I must say, it's incredible although there are a few WTF moments in it.

Watched Bram Stoker's Dracula a couple nights ago. Damn good movie, that.

I PREFER THE BOOK!

I've only read the book, never seen the movie.

The movie is aight.

I did not actually care for the book. But it was far better than anything I was forced to read in High School.

**** you Catcher in the Rye.

I kinda liked To Kill a Mockingbird.

Atticus Finch I think his name was was bawss.

I read Animal Farm in Grade School. At the time, I did not pay it much attention, so I thought it sucked. It's a good book though IMO.

Point is that reading books/novels/plays for classes is going to be less interesting than reading it for leisure, IMO.

He needed to smack his daughter some more.

You don't call your dad by his first name you tramp.

True. Scout was a bratty *****. Would beat the shit out of that filthy harlot.

I think my favorite forced-to-read-for-school-book was Macbeth. Though I read all of the ones mentioned, as well as Lord of the Flies.

As for the film's quality, there were some elements superior to the book, some elements inferior. It was a damn sight better than the 1931 film, which was so slow and dull I couldn't manage the first half hour before skipping to the end and being disappointed at the lack of payoff concerning Dracula's death.

Is it the one with Christopher Lee or Gary Oldman that you are talking about?

Oldman. Have yet to see the version with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, though I know it took far more liberties with the story.

Hey now, calm that down.

I cannot flame fictional characters now? D=

Or was that not PG-13? Thought it was but will keep note of this if not.

Also, forgot about Macbeth, WHICH I DID LIKE. Also liked Beowulf personally.

Worst book I ever read in school was House on Mango Street 😘

One book I have to admit liking to read at school was Season of the Machete although it wasn't something the class assigned me to read. I actually checked it out from the library.

Plus the awesome Kenneth Branagh portrayed him in a film.

The Oldman version is better for that very reason, among a few others, in my opinion.

Though Oldman Dracula in his geriatric form looks a lot like Darth Sidious to me, for some reason.

But Christophee Lee actually looks a lot like Dracula.

Legitimately. mmm
