ya wanna go catch Superbad with me?

you get the tickets... I'll get the popcorn



ok, ok, ok... enough of that. Fiction/fantasy... its really about connecting with your childhood... i mean, we all dreamed of those things as kids, right? its only as we got older that those things started to seem silly... because it was just "fantasy". Maybe you just needed to be in a different place when you watched them

second star to the right... straight on till mornin?

I have had no desire to watch the movies or read the books of Harry Potter because it is I feel being shoved into my face too often and I feel sick at the way little kids who do not even read books normally has to buy Harry Potter books.
The author has good publicity and that is the only reason I would say these books are selling so much.There have been similar stories before, but no one backed them up or were interested enough to make movies of them and market them,hence they remain only in the memories of those who read these books.
I am not sure if anyone agrees with me or not, but that is what I feel.

About Pirates of the Caribean, thats a well rounded movie of comedy,humour and romance. The best I liked about it is the character of Jack Sparrow.He reminds me of the Pirate Long John Silver(I think thats the name) in Treasure Island.

Emland agrees: It is a key line from J.M Barrie's play, Peter Pan. Very good reading, IMO.

I feel the same way. If any american classic was promoted as much as Harry Potter, then maybe we would see kids reading some awesome books that some states will not even allow in libraries.

I did read the first harry potter book, but it did not capture my interest at all, and I absolutely LOVE to read.
