  1. Welcome to The Rush Forum, RushGroupie29.
  2. Blazing Saddles, Beetlejuice, Most of Jim Carey's comedies.
  3. QUOTE (Mandalorian Hunter @ Jun 22 2005, 03:42 PM) I gave up reading to concentrate on my exams and revise for them.......A WHOLE MONTH WITHOUT READING!!!!!!! But i've finished them now I'll be making an assault on ALL of Tolkein's major works, The new HP book(can't wait) And i think i'll read the whole series of The Star Wars: Clone Wars series'. And maybe some Dickens and other such classic novels, any suggestions? Oh, and some Jack London and Iain Banks. If you feel like warming up with some short stories, check out Gogol, especially "The Portrait." It's not quite science fiction, but it's that eerie Russian allegorical stuff. Trippy. Highly recommended. And good luck with the exams.
  4. Because of you, madra_sneachta, I'm now about a hundred pages into Grossman's Someone to Run With. Aside from it being something of a relief to get away from English for a little, I find I'm enjoying it because Grossman is a charming story-teller. How's Zig Zag Kid coming along? [Edited: what'll you know? I wrote "Someone to Rush With" instead of "to Run With." ]
  5. I'd also point out his intelligent and respectul contribution to the Politics thread.
  6. Greetings, bipedal life forms! Enjoy The Rush Forum! (Nice animated Welcome there, invis. )
  7. Can't sleep?

  10. (You mods are thorough!) That's great work, Phoenix.
  11. QUOTE (madra sneachta @ Jun 16 2005, 08:52 AM)David Grossman - The Zig Zag Kid What compelled you to tackle Grossman? It's a funny coincidence. The text I taught my class last Thursday was one Grossman had written about the birth of his first-born son. I began the lesson with a brief biographical introduction, including a bit about Grossman's political activisim and humanitarian involvement with the Palestinians. I brought his book Someone to Run With and passed it around so they could flip through it and sort of feel something he wrote with their fingertips. I still haven't returned the book to the library - in fact it's right in back of me this very moment.

  13. I'm sorry to have to do this again. I forfeit my turn to whoever has a good image up their sleeve. Sorry, have to finish this paper for tomorrow. That was a good one, ladyrushfan80!
  14. Ah! How about My eyes have just been opened And they're open very wide ?
  15. Invisible to telescopic eye Probably not...
  16. Ever notice how the intro to Guns n' Roses' "Sweet Child o' Mine" sounds strangely like the intro to Rush's "Xanadu"? And that the riff in Coldplay's "Clocks" is oddly reminiscent of the synthesizer riff in "Countdown"? I wonder if there are more.
  17. Sin City Though a tad too violent for my taste, I thought this was an outstanding production. The script was clever and effective, and I liked the deep smoky voices of the male actors (I say "smoky" because it sounds like they each smoke a pack a day). The dark and sordid visual setting also did the trick. The plots were good, not too intricate, entertaining, and provocative. Needless to say, Bruce Willis was brilliant. Funny thing is, my friends and I couldn't remember anything about the film's soundtrack. Whether that's good or bad, I'm not sure.
  18. Eye to I. "Chemistry"
  19. Rivendell may have given me the answer in the esmeralda Paris thread: I have passed into Olympus As was told in tales of old To the city of Immortals Marble white and purest gold
  20. Freud and the Legacy of Moses
  21. Welcome, zanydo! Lord help us, another Englishman?? Huck, I'm only kidding! That's my sense of humor. (But where o where are all the female Swedish Rush fans?)
  22. Earthshine?
  23. It's gotta be one of these: Yet my eyes are drawn toward The mountain in the east Fascinates and captivates Gives my heart no peace The mountain holds the sunrise In the prison of the night Till bursting forth from rocky chains The valley floods with light Any chance?
  24. QUOTE (rickyrob @ Jun 15 2005, 08:45 AM)O...K... just found this thread. It was an accident, honest!..........better go I'm afraid you're too late. sullysue already has you chained to the thread and is preparing various instruments of torture. http://www.awasu.com/weblog/wp-images/smilies/whip.gif
  25. QUOTE (fendergirl4001 @ Jun 14 2005, 05:01 PM) If anybody wants to know just how addicting is, let's just say before I heard them, I was an agnostic... (I think that's the word... DAMMIT! must find spell check thingy!) Welcome to TRF!
