  1. I went with CS Lewis. I have never read this book, yes surprising I know! My son is also reading so we have it here and the movie is coming out.

     

     

     

    My question is, How long do we have to read the book? Those are both short ones and can be read easily within an hour or 2.

    Great little read  yes.gif

    50 short stories about some pretty wild crimes committed with the least likely of instruments.  An umbrella, a rattlesnake  unsure.gif and even a pair of panties  cool.gif

    Good book if you like this sort of thing..I do  wink.gif

    Oh, I just love killing people with panties! yes.gif Absolutely the best way.

     

     

     

     

     

    I won't be reading anything for next couple of weeks. Then, depending on who wins at thebookforum.com, I'll be reading either The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe or Lolita.

     

    After that, sullysue, we'll do a TRF group read of The Old Man and the Sea, maybe.

    Well, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is such a great book. But, I read it when I was 11. unsure.gif

    My daughter just did a book report about The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe..and she is 12 smile.gif

     

     

     

    I Love this TRF Book Club idea new_thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

    My son is doing a before school book club and they are reading The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. They are wrapping it up just in time to take a field trip to go see the movie. Every week they have to read a chapter or two and answer questions about the book.

     

     

    I like the idea too of a Book Club.

  3. One day in the great forest a magical frog was walking down to a water hole.

     

    This forest was so big that the frog had never seen another animal in all his life.

     

    By chance today a bear was chasing after a rabbit to have for dinner.

     

    The frog called for the two to stop.

     

    The frog said, "Because you are the only two animals I have seen, I will grant you both three wishes... Bear, you go first."

     

    The bear thought for a minute, and being the male he was, said, "I wish for all the bears in this forest, besides me, to be female."

     

    For his wish, the rabbit asked for a crash helmet, and immediately put it on.

     

    The bear was amazed at the stupidity of the rabbit, wasting his wish like that.

     

    It was the bear's second turn for a wish.

     

    "Well, I wish that all the bears in the next forest were female as well."

     

    Rabbit asked for a motorcycle and immediately hopped on it and gunned the engine.

     

    The bear was shocked that the rabbit was asking for these stupid things, after all, he could have asked for money and bought the motorcycle.

     

    For the last wish the bear thought for a while and then said, "I wish that all the bears in the world, besides me, were female."

     

    The rabbit grinned, gunned the engine, and said, "I wish the bear was gay."

     

     

     

  4. After a long night of making love a young man rolled over and was looking around when he noticed a framed picture of another man. He began to worry.

     

    "Is this your husband?" he asked.

     

    "No, silly," she replied, snuggling up to him.

     

    "Your boyfriend then?" he enquired.

     

    "No, not at all," she said, nibbling away at his ear.

     

    "Well, who is he then?" he demanded.

     

    The girl replied, "That's me before the surgery."

     

  5. Anyone watch Dan Radcliffe this morning on the Today Show and Live with Regis and Kelly? Hes also going to be on Martha Stewert. Had a couple of clips but no new ones. He gets very embarassed talking about girls. Rumor has it that he has a Girlfriend, a 23 yr old girlfriend! Apparently legal age in the UK is 16 so no laws are being broke.

     

    Emma Watson will be on Live next Tuesday.

  6. Plotline Spoiler here Donna for Goblet Of Fire.

     

     

    Goblet Of Fire is supposed to be the best one yet, at least by what I have heard from those who have seen the movie already. Not recommended for small children so watch out if you take your small ones! Apparently the dragon fights, Mer people, Voldemort and the intense scenes where Wormtail cuts off hand, Cedric dies and Harry and LV duel are pretty intense. They say that this movie is for the teen and adult crowd.

     

     

    Also anyone re-reading GOF before they go see the movie? I am!

     

    If anyone would like to chat about Harry Potter IM me on AIM as I would love to throw some ideas around, gotten a lil deep into it. biggrin.gif Horcruxes, spiders, snakes, ghosts and more!

  7. Ok the Fourth movie is getting ready to come out on Nov 18th. Yes you should read the books first as they are brilliantly written. The movies do follow along with the books but just like with any movie from a book there is ALOT left out, general stuff is there. There are a ton of anagrams, refrences to mythology with character names and you will read about stuff that is so minor you will overlook only have it to come back in a major way. Its actually amazing just how much work she has put into this storyline and all the connections. 7 books in all, 6 are released and Jo Rowling is currently starting on the final book.

     

    Movies so far.

    Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone

    Harry Potter and the Chamber Of Secrets

    Harry Potter and the Prisoner Of Azkaban

    and of course the one being released on the 18th

    Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire.

  8. I certainly hope Robbie Coltrane comes back along with the rest of the actors we have grown accoustomed to!

     

    Apparently Ginny is supposed to look quite young in this movie mostly due to make up however they did do a great job picking out the actress to play her. There has been an aweful lot of talk of how much Ginny is supposed to resemble Lily Potter and I can see why. Here is her pic from the London GOF premiere. Also alot of people have been saying that she was not pretty enough to be Harrys love, she looks great in this pic!

  9. Anyone going to the Midnite showing? I wish I could!

     

     

    News too on OOTP, filming starts in Feb and the casting of Luna is almost complete as they are now down to 5 finalists. She will play in big part in the movie and JKR is working with the director to get the Black Tapestry perfect ( Sirius' Mother).

  10. I went to the theater and saw a movie when I was about 7 that I have never been able to watch again, The Little Girl Who Lived Down The Lane starring Jodie Foster. Creeped me out so I understand about The Exorcist. Sometimes its not the gore or the jumping out that gets you.
  11. Love the Books Of Blood Series! Wonder if we will ever see the shorts made into movies, kinda like Creepshow. I really like the story about the guy who kidnaps people and makes them face their fears, particularly the girl who is vegetarian and gives her a side of beef that just sits there and she has to eat it. Way cool!!!!
  12. Nice Sundog!!!!
