Awesome, this is my favorite Graham Greene. That opening line is worth it alone!Quoting EvilShoe (view post)
Well, 300 pages in and I love it (Larsson's first millenium novel). The central mystery is one of the most captivating ever conceived, but I concede that journalist Blomkvist seems to deceipher some clues through luck rather than genuine investigation. His daughter's offhand remark sparking an idea for example. Nonetheless, I'm certainly, at this point, a bit stunned that it could provoke as strong a reaction as hate. The translation is at times a tiny bit clunky, but it's a cracking read so far.Quoting Mara (view post)

yesterday i found this on a street of bangkok and bought it for 500 baths or about 15 dollars.
this transaction feels so good it should be illegal.

Lovejuice, this is the first time you've ever made me angry. That purchase is a steal, and I'm so jealous I'm practically spitting fire right now.
just so you know, they are second-handed. some torn and some loose pages, but totally worth it.Quoting Kurosawa Fan (view post)

Well, I'm less mad. But for $15, I'm still mad.Quoting lovejuice (view post)
For $15, I would have bought ten of them.
Which means I should probably just buy it outright. I also want the Far Side Juggernaut.
...and the milk's in me.
I know! WTF Lovejuice?!Quoting Kurosawa Fan (view post)
So... bought this with the 25 dollars coupon Amazon gave me for cancelling that Daredevil omnibus thing they messed up:

And in October, I will most def buy:
The first book, based on A New Hope was just a total blast to read with a ton of detail & anecdotes & amazing pictures and and and...
Btw, if anyone can point me in the direction of similarly exhaustingly researched books about specific motion pictures that would be awesome. I've already read Rinzler's Indiana Jones one however.

Time to knock the dust off this old thread. Bought a book for the first time in a long time that had nothing to do with school:
Holy shit.
Has anyone ever slept on a hybrid mattress before?
I have not.
Been spending some of my winnings from my fantasy movie league winnings (facebook group). I really only buy movies November-January anymore. Thats when all the deals make it worth it.
Blu-rays:
Cloud Atlas
Edge of Tomorrow
Elysium
Enders Game
Everly
Punisher: War Zone
Red Lights
Sin City 2
The Drop
Dallas Buyers Club
Godzilla
Kite (2014)
The November Man
The Signal
Transformers 4
Grand total spent: $30. Some of these are blind buys obviously, so they may be headed to another exchange store, but its tough to pass up on $2 blu-rays!
Two dollars in a second-hand shop, a bit beat-up. As soon as I picked it up, the guy standing next to me started raving about it.
Just because...
The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
Petite maman (Céline Sciamma, 2021) mild
The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild
The last book I read was...
The Complete Short Stories by Mark Twain
