    Thought provoking question

    If the Earth was weightless it would drift away from the Sun so even in space you still have to account for that. The Earth is just in a constant state of falling around the Sun. When an astronaught is space walking outside his craft both him and his ship are in an orbital flight path around...

    What was the best book you read in 2005?

    The best was a graphic novel, Alan Moore's The Watchmen. I also really liked From A Buick 8 and Neverwhere.

    Robert Jordan

    Wow that sucks. So I guess my selfish question is if the Wheel of Time will get completed.

    H.P. Lovecraft

    I recently finished his story The Whisperer in Darkness. For a while I was getting worried that the main character was going to meet a predictable death. However that didn't happen. Instead I was pleased to get an ending that was really spooky. Also at the same time it didn't explain...

    V for Vendetta

    I think Alan Moore's complaints are justified. The changes to to ending were unnecessary so I can understand why the author would be mad about the script. I was disappointed to see the Finch and Creedy's roles in the ending mixed around. Also Finch was well on his way to his original ending...

    Stories with Mad Scientists?

    I think this is a type of character that is underused in both books and in film. For some reason these characters intrigue me though with their obsessive personalities and the belief that they must pursue their goal no matter what. I think one of the best of either fiction or film is...

    I mostly read horror or sci-fi. Not to much non-fiction either but my favorite is the biography of comedian Bill Hicks called American Scream.

    Where to start with Stephen King?

    To sample his work Skeleton Crew is good. Mostly for the short story The Mist. There are some other good ones in there to like The Jaunt or Survivor Type. I think The Raft is in there to. Another one is 4 Past Midnight wich is a collection of novellas. My favorite stories from it are...

    Cell: The Movie

    I wonder what they'll call it since there is already a movie called The Cell.

    Why collect DVDs?

    Heh when I saw how much DVD was taking off I unloaded all my VHS movies on Ebay.

    Douglas Adams

    Probably because of the movies and the radio play for Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy.

    Why collect DVDs?

    I've decided to curb my collecting habit and a chunk of my impulse purchases are going out on Ebay. I think now I'm down to about 50. I will still occasionally pick one up but I have different standards now and I'm more picky on what I'll buy. My most recent buy was a used copy of...

    H.P. Lovecraft

    I got interested in him after seeing other material that was obviously inspired by him such as the film In The Mouth Of Madness. So the first story I read by him was At The Mountains of Madness. It was kind of weird but interesting. Also I wasn't used to his vocabulary at first. A while...

    A few questions...

    If you can handle Stephen King books you should be able to handle the horror element of House of Leaves. It's still a very strange book at least in regards to it's writing style and it can be challenge to read because it has a lot of 1st person paranoid rambling from Johnny Truant. For me...

    What will put you off a book?

    Certain cliché characters. Like weird kids who turn out to have psychic abilities. Sometimes it's okay if it fits into the story but I think often it's unnecessary. Like in the Langoliers.
