Read 2: And I'm not sure how much I liked it...very very clever, but something about it just put my teeth on edge. Don't know why, because it really is a bravura performance.

Fiction, but they're the best accessable source of British imperial military history I've ever read.

Like Alexander Dumas - takes real historical events and writes a story into them. And he's an excellent, excellent writer.

The really, really thick version is Dumas. He wrote the original, you know.

Not a film, but an astounding poitical thriller - Edge of Darkness. Or for a film Baise Moi.
The thoughr Gang by Tibor Fischer
Scissor Sister
Not a clue
Salad (you need it)
Somrthing Positive - one of the funniest web comics I read.

Edge of Darkness is brilliant. It lies as the core of all the WereWolf games I've ever run. The new DVD just lets you play the soundtrack alone... which is also brilliant.

1.) Audition by Miike
2.) The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley (It's a young adult book, but very fun.)
3.) Not sure what manner of music you like. If you enjoy a gothy kind of dance music, check out "My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult".
4.) [livejournal.com profile] yakette
5.) A nice prime rib with some yummy au jus.

1. Bubba Ho-Tep. Wonderfully campy, thoughtful, and starring Bruce Campbell and Ozzie Davis.

2. If you're a techie at all, the WIZ Zumwalt series by Rick Cook. A little Young Adult in the writing style, but very interesting from a "What If" perspective.

3. Mad Apple. Barring plugging myself, Nightwish is amazing, as is Evanescence's older material.

4. [livejournal.com profile] hiromasaki, myself, of course.

5. Right now I'm hungry for a Grilled Chicken salad. (Not the type where you mash up the chicken in mayo and put it on bread, but the type with lettuce and tomato and cheese and dressing.)

6. Already saw Nuklear Power and Something Positive on the list... In that case, I'd have to go with Clan BOB

I have seen the trailer to bubba ho-tep, but it never got a release over here. Maybe when it's out on DVD.

And in return:
1) Lost in La Mancha
2) Flashman (the best one is probably Flashman and the Mountain of Light, but you really have to read the series)
3) Dubwar. Nobody I know seems to have ever heard of this underrated band - Rock/raggae fusion, and it's great.
4) And I recommend...me! RIksowden isn't bad either.
5) Not what I had last night...a nad night all round.
6) goats.com seems fairly unknown.

US DVD Release for Ho-Tep is today. Not sure about abroad. I presume you're in the UK?

Lost in La Mancha looked interesting. I'll look into those... though goats.com probably is unknown due to the fear goatse.cx has instilled into everyone over URLs that include the word "goat". Hence the reason why that will wait until I get home from work.

goatse.cx?
Should thsi be a site I don't go and look at?

Goats.com is an underrated web comic.

I am indeed in London.

I would say most definitely don't go and look at it.

I will check out goats.com at home, then. No need risking my work day.

Yorkshireman gave it away, ya know.
