don't get me started on the french quebecers..
Hé, ne vous moquez pas des Français ! Ils n'y comprennent rien parce qu'ils refusent de parler anglais comme nous tous.
Don't ask me what that says, 3 years of French (& 2 of German I was supposed to need for college) & I can barely count to ten in either one.

have either of you watched Annika? it's a Scottish black comedy crime/drama.. I like Nicola Walker as an actor.. and loved this show.. disappointed it's been cancelled after only 2 seasons tho.. I have a few TB's of saved shows/movies myself.. plus a huge DVD collection AND some also on VHS.. as for books? I had a TON of'em.. sold some of my collection but.. still keep a few fave authors.. sci-fi is okay but my jam is fantasy.. Merlin, King Arthur.. those types.. authors like R.A. Salvatore, Elizabeth Moon (the deeds of paksenarrion is very good..) Dennis L McKiernan, Jrr Tolkien (LOTR movies were just as good as the read imo), Terry Goodkind, Terry Brooks and Rick Riordan (Percy Jackson movies sucked.. books were good - tv shows were pretty good in following the books - read this series with my granddaughter as a way to connect with her on a more individual level..) anywho.. I did read Battlefield Earth, I like it.. movie SUCKED.. fun fact.. the movie was actually shot about a mile from where I used to live.. cuz my cousin is a big celeb here (woooooooooooo.. big deal pffft lol) I got to visit the set.. it was interesting.. but didn't make me like the movie one iota more
Yeah, this account has been scooped up THREE TIMES now. At least admins are getting better at correcting the AI-bot's screw ups. The 1st time it took 13 days to get it back, the 2nd time almost a week, & the third (this) time 3 days. Of course it's gunna happen again, this account is just AI-antagonistic I guess. Yup, liked Annika a lot. It falls into that UK procedurals category I mentioned liking. About your choice in reading....MZB sound familiar? Darkover is just about the richest universe of fantasy I've ever read from end-to-end. C.L. Moore, Leigh Brackett, Andre (Alice) Norton, Ann McCaffrey, Janet Morris, James (Alice) Tiptree Jr. and of course one of my correspondence partners, C.J. Cherryh - ALL terrific Fantasy authors in my collection(s) & all far more worthy of having movies made from their works than puddin'head Philip K.Dick. At least Hollyweird got it right by producing movies from a number of Ursula K. LeGuin novels. I use SF broadly but it encompasses Fantasy as well - though I'm most partial to military hard SF like Hammer's Slammers (Drake) & some of the new blood authors like Jay Allan, M. D. Cooper, & J. N. Chaney. These new breed of SF authors are actually more like writing co-ops, putting out co-authored volumes at such a prodigious rate it's hard to keep up. My favorite fantasy story of all time is "Of Mist, and Grass, and Sand" by Vonda N. McAntyre. I've read it 3 times now, about a decade between readings, & I still get all misty-eyed every time. |

A long read indeed, hihi. I did watch "See", cannot remember if it was mentioned or not, nor if why not. Some of the things you mentioned I tried but gave up on. One of which is "Person of Interest". I got fed up with it, and even Jim Caviezel's good looks and sexy voice couldn't keep me captivated, hihi. I do love this movie he did in 2008, "Outlander". Absolutely wonderful! I don't read much because I have a neck injury and causes me trouble in that sense. A real pain in the neck -literally- as I used to LOVE reading!! I'm a real bookworm, have been ever since I learnt to read way back when. Unfortunately not so easy anymore due to my neck. But the amount of books I've read in my life, unbelievable! I still read, but have to limit it, so it's only books I really want in physical form, not as E-book. I don't watch really old movies. I sometimes re-watch some great movies from the 90s, but nothing older than that. E.g. Men in Black, The Fugitive, US Marshals. Great movies! Horror or WW1-2 stuff really isn't my thing. The first lowers my vibration/energy too much, the 2nd I simply don't like. One war series I DO love is Tour of Duty. Got that on my HD. Absolutely brilliant series! (Vietnam war). There are a few things you mentioned that I'll look up :) Cheers for your input! I binge read, same as I binge watch. Last year I read about 300-350 books in mobi format (more like a book with pages than EPUB & its eternal scrolling). I use Calibre (Freeware) to convert formats on eBooks & set mobireader to display 3 pages horizontally at a time. I can read roughly 100 pages per hour if nobody is bothering me. I've read prolly somewhere around 2,500-3,000 SF novels over the past decade. I do have a dead trees book collection, which I've been adding to since the early '70s, & which stands at 6,534 volumes of SCI-FI paperbacks (about half are 1st printings) dating as far back as the 1950s. (Know anybody that wants to buy the whole collection? Cover prices add up to ~$30,000 but I'd let it go for $10k.) I mark 1,863 of the paperbacks as read but many of them are also present in the 156 GB of eBooks on my hard drives (124,753 Files, 21,071 Folders - many of them are in multiple formats (7:1+cover photo), which is why the files count is so much higher than the books/folders count) and have also been read even though they aren't listed as such in my Master SF paperback Excel & Access databases. I have a sneaking suspicion that although my family is extremely long-lived, I'll never get to read them all but I do try to clear dead authors' entire bibliography before moving on to the next - i.e. I've read everything Isaac Asimov ever wrote, etc. As for the Nazombie flix I listed, I took into account your non-predilection for both WWII & Horror genres but I believe they are really neither - more along the Bruce Campbell Evil Dead campy trilogy genre, intended to be spoofs on both genres, but funny as hell at the same time. Stretch yourself SparklingCrystal, give 'em at least a stab at letting yourself enjoy a few good laughs. You might surprise yourself. I mean, whooda thunk you could combine SF & Westerns (Cowboys & Aliens)? 2¢ always welcome Zee.
