    BTK's daughter criticizes SK

    They got no regrets about their murderin' fathers. And they think they're the victims of everything. Osama bin Laden's daughter acted in a similar way when she accused us of killing her dad "for no reason." Never mind that my daughter's dad and 100's if not 1000's of other kids' dads were...

    My review?

    I believe it was an effort to write like H.P Lovecraft's Rats In the Walls.

    My review?

    I watched this one w/ Richard, my daughter's godfather who does film & broadcasting for a living, and he said "Oh yeah. This is how they did horror at the beginning of the 80's." He didn't even work in film then (he was in the National Guard then) but he knows the history of film & television...

    What Are You Reading?

    I remember the first time I ever babysat my nephews when they were 1 and 5, and I took a book along because I thought with 8 whole hours ahead of me there would be times that I'd get a chance to read. Those boys never heard the meaning of the word down time and by the time 8 hours had passed I...

    Very good adaptation

    Fun to watch? I think it's creepy, especially the ending. I can't say what it is bc I don't know how to attach a spoiler alert. I like the movie though, if for no other reason than to shut my friend's husband up, who can't stand Johnny Depp just because lots of women "make googly eyes at Johnny...

    Kubrick's Shining WORST novel adaptation ever!

    Richard, my daughter's godfather (and my partner), certainly thought so. But he's harsh on directors. He's a director of photography and is supposed to work closest with the director and he doesn't like most of them. Not that I blame him if they frequently do what one of them did to him, in...

    Movie Review--Children of the Corn

    I've watched two different ones. Unfortunately I was with Richard when I watched the one where they were driving through Nebraska. He walked out before she was done asking those pointed questions about Vietnam. I didn't want to watch alone so I left. I've watched that by myself before and didn't...

    Why do They Have Two Endings for this movie?

    I've never seen a movie that has two versions of endings. I like the one where he dies, no idea why. Although I couldn't watch it more than once bc I know someone who died in a fire. I have the movie with the ending where he lives but it seemed boring by comparison to the one where he dies...

    Ralph Roberts

    The only thing I dislike about these people is that they assume you've read everything and watched every movie or made-for-television production of theirs and their comments do show it. In Just After Sunset he made a Tim Robbins remark that sailed over my head. I read it months ago and only just...

    Revival...do NOT open unless finished book! *SPOILERS*

    I've experienced something similar to what the reverend did; only it wasn't my own child and he was murdered, he didn't die in an accident that resembles manslaughter. So while he was giving that fiery sermon I was relating to every single word of it. In fact I had a hard time with the people...

    comment and question

    That makes me LMAO in memory of this doctor I lived with, who was always looking at the romance novels I read in the 80's and calling them "half-naked men and scantily clad women." Just the way he said it all nonchalantly made me laugh. Then he said he couldn't understand why after his mom and I...

    Am I bad for liking this movie?

    In case it wasn't obvious, it was Bronson Pinchot.

    Writing business in 'Revival'

    Okay. Anybody who knows anything about the writing industry, can you tell me if an agent wanting to take 50% is normal? I thought 25% was the standard, not 50. I don't think I want this agent. I know they're going to take a lot up front but 50 percent of what I can make in the deal isn't going...

    Writing business in 'Revival'

    Nobody; I decided to do it again. My only problem now is how to find the right 'agent' when you're still unpublished in terms of making money at it. I've been published several times for free. I got tired of it and my friend who's a professional writer says they need to be paying me, not me...

    Birds

    These pigeons are always running away from people, and of course all birds poop on everything. One of them pooped on my uniform while I was getting back into the ambulance; not a pigeon. This was one that was sitting in a line of them on a telephone wire. My partner thought it was hilarious...

    Birds

    That reminds me of our last call of the day. We have all these birds (pigeons & tiny sparrows) in the downtown area of my city, and we received the call as "a man trying to kick the pigeons, who fell and hit his head on the concrete." He missed the pigeon and the momentum of his swinging foot...

    Writing business in 'Revival'

    Sorry, you'll have to enlighten me as to what "everyman" refers to. I'm clueless.

    Writing business in 'Revival'

    That's just one of the many reasons I stopped writing. The last straw was for the editor to tell me correct medical information I had entered was "wrong." Just bc nobody in popular writing knows a cotton pickin' thing about Emergency Medicine doesn't mean I as a paramedic am the same type of...

    Revival...do NOT open unless finished book! *SPOILERS*

    In Nightmare On Elm Street, which I watched this weekend, his entire trunk of his body is composed of the souls of dead children. I'm telling you: I don't know why they made a newer version of NOES, b/c Robert Englund was and remains the creepiest, scariest monster ever put on a movie. All this...
