Lit Apropos of Nothing - ACKBAR IN CAPITALS - The Lit Forum Social Thread, v2.0.15

Last week I watched ANH with a friend who'd never seen it...the captions weren't working, so naturally, I did Greedo's lines for her. She was horrified and/or awed.

 

So I was in the middle of reading about the sinking of the sub USS Thresher when water started pouring through the roof of my apartment. Guys, always live on the top floor.

 

There might be a connection. Read a book about finding $1,000,000 and tell me what happens.

--Adm. Nick

 

He's discovered his obscure superpower!

Oh and Hav -- don't read GoT.

 

"So I was just reading A Game of Thrones and suddenly every floor started a war with each other. Currently the man from the top floor is winning his battles but we haven't heard anything from the first floor yet."

 

I hope he doesn't have a twin sister.

 

He said read Game of Thrones.

 

You have a problem with hookers and lemon cakes?

 

Finally starting up season three of Archer on Netflix, and the first arc guest stars Patrick Warburton, which just makes me anxious to watch Venture Bros instead.

 

Those of you who have trouble getting into fantasy because of hundreds of characters, big worlds full of geography and thousands of years of history, try Artemis Fowl. It reads like an action film with intelligent characters, people of importance can be counted with fingers and the world history is simply "Our world, our history, but with fantasy creatures living underground and using magic-technology". And the main character is Thrawn as 12-year old. (Not sure if that makes you want to read it more)

 

You're kind of jumping the gun if you're assuming those of us who haven't liked GoT don't like fantasy as a genre!

 

See earlier comment re: spaceships.

 

No, that would be a very big assumption. Beauty and the Beast is fantasy. There just were talks earlier that GoT is very hard to get in and I wanted to give an example of a fantasy series that is very easy to get into.

And Coop, it has ships that can be piloted in the tunnels between the underlevels and the surface. And they work on lava fumes. I don't remember how, don't ask me to explain. Hyperspace.

 

Season Five trailer's up.

 

aaaahhhhhwhere

edit: nm found it

 

I like the look of it, but I'm not convinced it'll be nearly long enough to justify the initial price tag.

 

I'm gonna wait for a price drop. I'm finally starting to feel the pinch as my hoard of treasure dwindles.

Yes, I am a dragon.
