I absolutely loved The Sixth Sense when I first saw it, and the twist had me absolutely gobsmacked for the last few minutes of the film. Probably because I hadnt really heard much about the film, I didnt even know that there was going to be a twist (yes, I enjoyed my time in the cave on Mars...

No, I haven't read this yet, but I do like a bit of vampire-action before I nod off. Mmmm....that sounds a bit wrong, doesn't it.

dvds are the smarter choice. Our local video shop discovered this when, on about the twelfth borrowing, we snapped the tape in their VHS copy of some 'The Young Ones' eps. Oops. The best thing about dvds is undoubtedly the special features (that is, if you're a bit of a film geek like...

I think fiction and non-fiction are both exercises in exploring reality. While non-fiction presents reality in a "here are the facts as we see them" style, fiction allows the reader to come to their own understanding of reality. I prefer fiction, purely because I have yet to read a...

I reallly like Beck, I think he brings something different to the table every time he makes an album. One song of his that I love is from the "Eternal Sunshine..." soundtrack (I don't know if he did the song for the movie or it was pulled from one of his albums). It's called 'Everybody's...

I always, always re-read Stephen King's "It' when I want some comfort reading. Strange choice for a comfort book, I know, but hey....perhaps this indicates that I'm more twisted than I originally thought:) Strangely enough, I often read King's short stories when trying to fall asleep at...

Another vote for 'The Exorcist' from me. Also, I agree about Pet Sematary. I read it when I was 13 or 14 and it scared the living crap out of me. I couldn't look at our cats for a while after reading it!! If psychological 'horror' is your thing, I recently read 'Red Dragon', and I found...

I thought this when I read 'Pandora' and 'Vittorio'. Are they officially part of the chronicles? Anyway...

Apologies, I mentioned the book because I read it when I was about twelve and I identified with it then, so I think of it as a children's (or young adult, whatever) book. I shall endevour to adhere more strictly to the official categories of books from now on :)

Ooooh, the Grow games are awesome!!! I would like to take this moment to say that I was first introduced to point 'n click games when I was a lurker on this forum a while ago. So you can all claim a little bit of responsibility for many a late assignment, missed tutorial, and the RSI I...

After trying several times, I still have never been able to finish The Mill on the Floss, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, or The Getting of Wisdom. I did finish Wuthering Heights, but I don't understand why everyone thinks Heathcliff is such a romantic hero. I mean, I know there's the whole...

Great topic idea! My username comes from one of the Faraway Tree books (probably "The Enchanted Wood", but I can't be sure). When the kids go to the land of birthdays, Fanny gets a talking doll which she names Peronel. I don't use my real name because it's usually taken and I don't like...

Zen, I couldn't agree with you more :) Welcome from a fellow Aussie

I love this show, it only took one episode to get me hooked. I also love watching it to see Billy Kennedy (Jesse Spencer) light up the small screen again!!!:) Those of you who've seen Neighbours will understand. The ep shown here the other night (I think we're a little behind - what's...

I recently re-read "The Enchanted Wood", not only for the story, but because I have the same copy that I had when I was little and the smell of the pages brings back so many good memories! (I have a big picture edition, has a very unique smell). Other "children's" books I enjoyed include: The...

Not sure if this movie is well-known in other lands (and God I hope it's not), but I watched a movie called "Dead Dudes in the House" at someone's birthday a few years back. Sooooo baaad that it's freakin' hilarious. Two stand-out scenes: a scary grandmother threatening our dudes (doilies...

How bout: Pissed as a poet on payday (apologies to any poets) and (a favourite of mine from Friends "Well slap my ass and call me Judy!":)

You already mentioned Interview, but if you can get your hands on the rest of Anne Rice's chronicles you'll be in for a treat. My favourite is The Vampire Lestat (gotta love an anti-hero).

Thanks for the welcome guys! I'm having fun already!
