You know, I've actually read all the Twilight books... I wonder how I'm still alive.

Oh god, is there a support group available??? *clings*

*tries to remember the name of that Russian film she really enjoyed that had vampires and light vs dark and a frozen goldfish in it*

 

[Alisaura]

This I did not know. I think you and Alison deserve a prize, simply for still being alive.

And hello, by the way

Don't count your chickens yet...

Night Watch? I've yet to read / watch any of it, but I want to.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I'd rather be missing the finals this year Vlad. Better to finish down the lower end and be pumped up for next year, than get blown out in the water first week of finals.

Not that any good picks are or offer in the draft this year

I'm not too fussed about finishing in the bottom 8 anyway, it's like another 2004. There's a lot of work to do and it'd be nice just sitting back and watching the finals action without worrying over my team.

 

[Alisaura]

Yeah it wasn't the best of experiences, especially the 'hidden twist' at the end of the last book that kind of makes you want to gouge your eyes out and become the Joker. But I want to see what Alison says about it first!

... That was a TWIST??!


*gouges, become's Batman's nemesis*

I coped by shutting down my brain, I think, and then rereading Harry Potter and then Matthew Reilly. It's all a blur, somewhat.

 

[Alisaura]

Night Watch? I've yet to read / watch any of it, but I want to.

Bingo! I hear there was a sequel too, but I haven't seen it.

And it's a book? Awesome.



And I need to stop posting and review faster...

I read all of HP right before this. Matthew Reilly is a distinct possibility for the next book, though!

Ha, do tell if you remember, that sounds pretty awesome. Especially the goldfish.

*gouges, become's Batman's nemesis*

Yeah, the whole thing about

Spoiler

the implied pedophilia, bestiality combined with half-necrophilia thing with her kid?

Apparently that was the twist with that Jacob wolf whatever.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

This is also a cracking Soviet film: Kavkazskaya plennitsa, ili Novye priklyucheniya Shurika (1967)

Free delivery worldwide on all books from The Book Depository

Don't EVER go to a bookshop. Way overpriced.

Oh yeah, someone sent me a link for that. Must look at it.


*brain shies away from review*

Yeah there's four of them, according to Wikipedia: Night Watch, Day Watch, Twilight Watch (shudder) and Final Watch.

Night Watch (Lukyanenko novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[Alisaura]

It's not so much a twist as it is a 'holy shit, I feel unclean after reading that, I need to cleanse myself in BLOOD' kind of thing.

This.

 

[Slopsy]

C'mon, Alison!

And goddamn, I was going to finish A Clockwork Orange this evening but you people are too distracting.

 

[Axver]

My Existentialism reader is basically Camus and Sartre with some Heidegger. What did you think of Locke?

Ah, see, the bits of Locke I've looked at were in first year political science, the Two Treatises of Government and what-have-you. My knowledge of his writing on the self is only in passing.

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar,
Hobbes was fond of his dram
And Rene Descarte was a drunken fart,
I drink therefore I am.

Wait till you see Crazy Tonight with Discotheque. It's a beautiful sight. *teary eagle*

My mum described his swinging on the mic at the end as "a good impression of a gibbon"

It was still awesome, though, kicks the shit out of UV!

 

[Axver]

Could be a tough and unrealistic ask but could you ever imagine living in Russia for a year or two, you'd pickup quickly then.

Yes, what? You've seen it/no? Actually, haven't read that novel.

Spoiler

FWIW I've always imagined you as "Shurik", well, just a wee bit.

I'd like to, but I don't know if I ever would ...

Oh, I was just saying the title made me think of a certain other movie ...

 

[Alisaura]

Yeah, the whole thing about

the implied pedophilia, bestiality combined with half-necrophilia thing with her kid?

Huh, I wasn't thinking even that deeply that I registered that.

Linkage? I can't see it on the 360 Channel.

PS. Don't have to provide a link, I have fingers that can type perfectly

 

[major_panic]

Hey, did I show everyone the couple of decent photos I took in Vietnam?

 

[Axver]

The world needs this review.

Yeah, I later realised just how disturbing the whole thing was. At the time, it was more sort of "what the hell, that was how it ended?"

 

[Axver]

I think I've seen them ...?

Yeah, I'll be studying his political theories in second year MHIS - so what did you think anyway? (His writings are on reason in my subjects, I believe. Can't remember off hand.)
