..., the bit with the Queen refusing to leave Windsor made me cry. T___T I read and watch a lot of zombie-related stuff, so it makes it hard to not taint my own story with style cribbed from other people. Which is another part of why I'm being so careful with writing it. I'm not good at sociopolitical philosophizing, like Max Brooks or George Romero--there's an admittedly somewhat clumsy attempt at ...

Let's get some conversations going.

I cribbed these from The Faith Club, which came out several years ago now. I know folks here in this community had mixed reactions to the book, but the questions put forth in the reader guide were good ones. So - in the interest of generating traffic, pick one of these and discuss. What religion are you, and why? How do you practice? What are some of the personal and educational experiences ...

Meme Or Game? (Cribbed from Facebook)

A friend on  FB passed along an improvisation exercise, as follows: One person makes up a word.     Next person defines first person's word and then supplies hir own made-up word for others to define.      You're hereby invited to play along   8) Last word defined on FB: NARFCOSTLE:   The noises made when two gifts of widely differing price have been exchanged. SKIFFTRAP.

... years animated Oscar. My problems with the film stem from the films rambling nature which took up much of the first half. Once the war starts the film seems to settle down, though to me the ending, which was cribbed from Dahl's notes seems an after thought. I do like that Clooney's lead is very fallible, but at the same time he is kind of a jerk and more than once I wanted to shout at the screen ...

So now I'm praying for the End of Time to hurry up and arrive

... his evil been so apparent. - Also: geez, could Rusty at least steal from the GOOD Matrix movie? - I liked that Lucy got her shit together, but that whole beginning sequence was just baaaaad. It sounded like it was cribbed from Z-list fantasy (or a Uwe Boll movie; I'm pretty sure it would have fit right in In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale )(yes, Uwe Boll rates below Z-list) and I'm ...

... big tree. Big enough it's a significant ecosystem. Hello, William Cochrane's Class Six Climb . John Coulthart posted a link that io9.com ran an article suggesting that James Cameron had cribbed from Roger Dean's prog rock abum covers * SPOILER - Ok, forget unobtanium: if humans find out you can transfer minds or souls into another, healthier body, hello effective immortality and they are...

#56 - Keep Out, Claudia! Part 1

... coolness in one of these suckers would probably cause the universe to implode. Granted, it is realistic for thirteen-year-olds to be this oblivious. I’m not sure they realistically express it in terms cribbed from their guidance counsellors – shouldn’t Claudia be too busy gluing bottlecaps to her Barbies to have picked up words like ‘hypotenuse’ and ‘dowdy’? – but there you go. By the 100+ ‘...

Am I blue? Ain't these tears in my eyes tellin' you?

... its the adventure, the strong characters and the humour that keep people coming back. And going back to an earlier example, The Matrix brought to prominence a bunch of shiny film techniques cribbed from Hong Kong cinema and anime, but the intelligent exploration of questions of identity, perception and reality, framed through a dystopian science-fiction setting, made the movie the only one of ...

... title! Argh! My habits confuse me. I could charitably call them "working titles," but they'd probably wind up being actual titles, just the same as Dystopia and Void. Other considerations are kind of cribbed from elsewhere, like "Dead Days" (a Marvel Zombies subtitle), or just unoriginal and bland, like "The End," or plain goofy, like "Grave Times." Which I actually kind of liked, but it still ...
