what Dave thinks about movies, books and everything
{4.5/5} “Dahl weaved through the trees, screaming for Q’eeng and Taylor. Some part of his brain wanted to know if he was running in the right direction; another part wanted to know why he wasn’t using his phone to contact Q’eeng. A third part reminded him that he had a pulse gun of his own, […]
{4/5} “There’s nothing wrong with being scared, Norman, so long as you don’t let it change who you are.” Norman can see and talk to dead people, and there are a bunch of them in his town. Of course, everyone else thinks he’s strange and makes fun of him because of this. He does manage […]
{4/5} “I don’t have delusions of grandeur, I have an actual recipe for grandeur.” Eddie has a book contract but he’s having trouble with the actual writing. His girlfriend has just dumped him, so he’s going to need to make some money. A chance encounter with his ex-brother-in-law leads him to try a new drug that […]
{4.5/5} “One of the unackknowledged parts of the DTI’s job was to keep knowledge of temporal incidents from being any more widely disseminated than it had to be. The more rare and unlikely the public believed temporal displacement to be, the less chance there was of idiots trying to slingshot around their local suns to […]
{4.5/5} “You know, you and me, trekking through the jungle, on our way to do something that we don’t quite understand. Good times.” We find out what the whispers in the jungle are, the identity of the black smoke monster, why Jacob brought people to the island, and the origins of Jacob and the Man […]
I went to the performance of the Guelph Symphony Orchestra titled “American Rhapsody.” This is the first time I’ve seen this orchestra. I know and love all four pieces they played — Aaron Copland’s “Appalachian Spring” and “Hoe-Down,” George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” and Leonard Bernstein’s “Symphonic Dances from West Side Story.” “Hoe-Down” is part […]
{5/5} “Dude, you might want to fasten your seat belt.” Some of the castaways have made it off the island, but now there’s a movement afoot to go back. Ben has also made it off the island, and he always has a plan. Meanwhile, back on the island something strange is happening — as usual. […]
{4.5/5} “He’s not a mad scientist, George thought dully, he’s a pretty sane one, or he was. It’s the chance of power that my dreams give him that twists him around. He keeps acting a part, and this gives him such an awfully big part to play. So that now he’s even using his science […]
{4.5/5} “As Kirk padded down from the outer ring of the bridge to its inner section, he shifted from reflecting on the reliability and longevity of his command crew to the interpersonal relationships that had grown among them. He felt closer to the members of his senior staff than he had to any other group […]
{5/5} “Never say never, dude.” Locke believes that the island is a place of miracles and the castaways should stay. Jack believes that it’s just an island where strange things happen and they should go home. A boat has arrived near the island but there’s some disagreement about whether the people on it are there to […]
