I haven't seen last night's episode yet, but from all your reactions it's going to be a good one.

World's Creepiest Man. Full stop.
Modest Man From Mandrake replied to Jack Aubrey's topic in Video Vertigo
World's Creepiest Man seems to be a bit understated Just the voice and the way he talks. It almost makes me wonder if he's playing it up the way he talks. -
Dexter the Books
Modest Man From Mandrake replied to Modest Man From Mandrake's topic in Turn The Page
QUOTE (theredtamasrule @ Nov 20 2010, 06:54 PM) I do know that the series & books very much part ways after book one. Most characters are portrayed differently in both: Deb is a curvaceous knockout in the book, Masuka fakes human interactions much like Dexter and there are other differences. The main revelation about Dexter's Dark Passenger in book three (IIRC) is very, very disappointing. I'm glad they haven't gone there in the series. Lindsay spins a quick, witty yarn from what I can tell. No gruesome detail of Dexter's kills as in America Psycho. In a lot of ways Vince seems much more like Dexter in the book. With the exception that we never hear about him murdering people. -

Kids in the Hall: Death Comes to Town
Modest Man From Mandrake replied to KenJennings's topic in Video Vertigo
QUOTE (Test4VitalSigns @ Nov 19 2010, 06:49 PM) This was filmed in my hometown of North Bay, Ontario. In fact our very own Modest Man From Mandrake and his daughter are in one of the episodes as extras I recall seeing filming locations when I was up there vacationing last year. I bought the DVD a few months ago. Yes we were. Allison didn't make it into the film, but I actually did. I have about 4.5 seconds were I'm cheering for Grim at his execution. It's in the last episode when they are walking him up the stairs I'm on the bottom left wearing glassing cheering with my hands above my head LOL I really liked Death comes to town. It was typical Kids In the hall that we have all come to love. -
Robocop is squeezing Quinn too hard. I think Quinn will end up killing him, and in some weird turn of events Quinn and Dex will form an uneasy alliance of convenience. In the books Deb knows that Dex is a serial killer. According to an online source I read comparing the books to the series Deb "Actively encourages Dexter to use his powers" With the way that Deb is claiming to feel unaffected by killing one of the Fuentes brothers, I think this is makes the possibility of Deb "Encouraging" Dexter an easy turn in the storyline.

I watch the TV series and I love it. As I'm sure many of you do as well. Today I bought and started to read the first book in the series titled "Darkly Dreaming Dexter". I have only had about an hour to read it so far, so I have only read 103 pages. The book is actually a pretty short read at just over 300 pages. It's not in front of me but I believe there are 323 pages. Who knows how different it will be from the series, but so far it's fairly close. I give it 2 thumbs up right now. Of course that may change by the end of the book. I have been meaning to read the books, but just never got around to it. I made a deal with myself. If the first book is a good read, I will buy the rest of the books and read them. However if the books fall short, this will be the only one I read, and just stick with watching the series. As most people, I find the book is usually much better than the film or TV show. From what I can tell this seems to also be the case. So has/is anyone read/reading the Dexter books? If so, without using spoilers tell me how you feel about the books. IMHO Lindsay is a pretty good writer.

DALLAS COWBOYS

QUOTE (metaldad @ Sep 19 2010, 03:12 PM) Sure feels good to be a Cowboys fan . Strange that losing two weeks in a row to crap teams would make a fan feel good about their team. -
I'm pretty happy with my team, should do fairly well.

WOOO HOOOO!!!!! After missing out the last 2 years I finally made it in time. I'm in TRF1 and the name of my team won't be hard to figure out. I'm frigging stoked. I'm preranking my team incase Yahoo! decides to be finicky. I got screwed a few times from not being able to get into a draft for 45 minutes.

Last Sunday's ep was a very good one. Now the question is "what exactly is Sookie?" My eldest reads all the Sookie Stackhouse books and if you want to know what Sookie is I can tell you.

Jodi, Myself and the kids saw this one in 3D on an IMAX. I agree that 3D was not need to make this movie be awesome, it was my first chance to experience an IMAX movie so we did it. The movie was great and it wrapped up the series in an awesome way, I think. I will admit that I was choked up at the end. My oldest was crying so much at the end, she could stop and it continued for about 10 minutes after we left the theater. The Toy story franchise is probably my favorite animated series of all time
