You like Meet the Barkers?? It totally broke up Blink182...
Travis = Judas

By  Anonym, at 5/05/2005 11:43 PM  

Blink broke up?! Wow...where have iii been? But Mark was Travis' best man on the show! The real question, where is Tom? He's the one hanging himself on a tree.

By  Melissa, at 5/06/2005 12:39 AM  

Tom's probably out somewhere pretending to be artsy...think Boxcar Racer.
I miss the good old days where they all just ran around naked.

By  Anonym, at 5/06/2005 4:53 PM  

Yeah, like heathens with this punky-white. We all appreciated that. Ok, ok...Boxcar is hardly artsy. More like a Blink clone. A copied Monet or something.

By  Melissa, at 5/06/2005 8:10 PM  

More like...teen rocker who gets a hold of a copy of Leaves of Grass and, upon completion, considers himself to be thoughtfully stoic. Seriously, I think the acoustic guitar was the whole problem...it made Tom think he was a lot deeper than he really was.

By  Anonym, at 5/06/2005 11:40 PM  

Haha, thoughtfully stoic...that's an AWFUL combination! But I think you're right about acoustic guitars. I always ask people if they play electric or acoustic, maybe subconsciously sizing up their depth? Who knows... someone should write a book about the psychology behind 6 strings.

By  Melissa, at 5/06/2005 11:55 PM  

Well...it'd be tough to catergorize. Some people really ARE deep with the ol 6...but other people just use it as an instrument (pun) to instantly give them Deepness. I think you have to see where they've come from to find out where they currently are.
They should only give out acoustic guitars through liscenses...that'd be much safer.

By  Anonym, at 5/07/2005 1:47 AM  

The categories:
a. The Country Singer
b. The Stoner
c. The Story Teller

(of course there are sub-categories)

OBVIOUSLY, the Country singer should just be shot. Put him out of his misery and stop ours. The stoner, he's the wannabe. He has no purpose, therefore strums and sings about how he has no purpose. And then there's the storyteller. Music to my ears. This is the real deal. A good story with actual conscious thought and feeling. The only one deserving a liscence.
Which do you like better? Acoustic or Electric?

By  Melissa, at 5/07/2005 2:54 AM  

Right now...I'm partial to piano. Nothing can elevate the thick plot of a great story like the echoing solitary key.
But, if a gun were put to my head, I'd say acoustic...but only if in the right hands.

By  Anonym, at 5/07/2005 11:16 PM  

I thought maybe the sea-foam-green would seal the deal. But, yeah I'm picking acoustic too, not that I play or anything. But if I did. So are you a mini-Mozart now? Piano is always a good investment. But it's much more sissy. Unless, of course, you're Andrew from SoCo.

By  Melissa, at 5/07/2005 11:38 PM  

It's not sissy...just sophisticated. The acoustic is just the poorman's version of elegance. Now the piano, that's It...second only to the violin in sheer intellegence. All the greats turn to the piano at the end/peak of their career, look at the Beatles.

By  Anonym, at 5/08/2005 12:25 AM  

I don't hold much esteem for the Beatles, I know I'm totally unAmerican (even though they were British) but ya. I think I prefer simplicity to elegance. It just feels more real, untampered, achievable. I don't know. I agree that the violin is number one, wow. But even with the violin, it's less personable. It's seems systematic almost. The piano as well. Almost, so intelligent that a math mind is neccessary for sucess. I dunno. I'm rambling.

By  Melissa, at 5/08/2005 12:56 AM  

I dunno, I think i'm opposite on you (surprise). The piano to me has got to be the most simple of instruments. even with the guitar you have to know chords before anything sounds good. The piano lives for exploratory pounding. But I'm partial...whenever I need that extra omph, I throw on City of Angels soundtrack to hear Alanis tell me she needs a moment to deliberate. Wow.

By  Anonym, at 5/08/2005 1:10 AM  

I think I may be looking at it from a different window. The sound can be made simple and collaborations are easier but...with a guitar everyone is involved. People are always gathered around and taking part. It's a come-together-right-now instrument. And the piano bench is made for one. Piano= antisocial. And there's not much a story in that.

By  Melissa, at 5/08/2005 1:19 AM  

I guess its all oranged colored anyways...like, what beatle (sorry to refer to those guys again) do you like best is supposed to define you. You pick acoustic guitar...so how does that define you. Plus and minuses for each instrument (you have all the fake deep stoners).

By  Anonym, at 5/08/2005 1:25 AM  

I also have Chris Carabba. And you have all those pompous rich kids. I like Ringo...what's my definition?

By  Melissa, at 5/08/2005 1:38 AM  

You do have Chris, who I think now qualifies as a rich kid aaaand a sellout (SPIDERMAN).
So are all rich kids pompous?
You're a Ringette eh? You always did like the drummer.

By  Anonym, at 5/08/2005 3:30 PM  

Oh! I went to this concert called the BASH, a mini warped tour with harder rock. And Lit was there and I caught a drumstick and got it signed! About Chris, I don't care who or what he is now. He was once golden, therefore he's always welcome at my lunch table. And yes to an extent all rich kids are pompous...or eventually will be. (And by all I mean 99%. Because there's always a gray person in there messing up smooth percentages.) Their parents never teach them humility and they get set on the worldly things. With this outlook of course you're going to be pompous, you're constantly competing for who has more. Pride is something that'll creep up on anyone when they are in a race to have the best.

By  Melissa, at 5/08/2005 6:38 PM  

But isn't pride, like all things, good in consideration. Take pride in your work...right?
And rich kids...if they're born with everything doesn't that give them more time to move on and find the important things in life? I mean, poor kids get hung up on trying to figure out how to get all the things rich kids have and NEVER find the real deal. Rich kids just cut out the middleman and head straight for the pot of gold.
And how am I competing for who has more? I thought we were talking about the piano

By  Anonym, at 5/08/2005 6:55 PM  

Sorry that was to be a hypothetical you, not a YOU-you. Don't be too extreme. Let's not compare a dirt-poor kid to Paris Hilton but the middle class to her. See who has better examples of virtue placed in front of them? There's a man who cheats on his wife like it's his job, isn't too busy to make kids but too busy to know their middle names and steals from his company but has an endless cash flow and heckalotta-plastic respect,is he better off than the blue-collar worker who adores his wife, plays Yahtzee with his kids, and earns every penny he spends or saves. I'd MUCH rather have the values instilled in the latter. Children learn through example, the blue collar worker must be humble, because of his situation but by this he is teaching his kids that there is more to life. His family is his sole purpose of existence, and he's proud of THAT. And that IS good pride. But being proud of money, having a career be number 1. It seems so distorted to me. So wrong. So selfish.

By  Melissa, at 5/08/2005 7:43 PM  

I'm not so sure where you grew up, but I grew up in a pretty small town with some pretty rotten people. I've never known any really rich families save for ones i've glanced at in tabloids while waiting in the checkout, but the families i do know have deadbeat dads that beat them or alchoholic moms that drink away the fact that she lives in middle of a trailor park down the road from my house. I know a girl who has four kids to four different blue collar daddies and another dad that works days at GE and rarely sees his children. Now, if you're allowed to call the upperclass a bunch of greedy hedonists, then I'm allowed to stereotype the blue collar crowd as a bunch of drunken, shift working, hicks. Guess every class has its own interesting stereotype.

By  Anonym, at 5/08/2005 10:13 PM  

Then where are the humbled Well, like I said. Children learn by example. My blue-collar father played Yahtzee with me and took me to fly kites and taught me how to build model airplanes, etc. Too many variables. I just know that I would pick the poor humbled man anyday. You might it sound like they don't exist though, not in any class. And pride IS bad in all cases. It always leads to selfishness and it always destroys people. Look at Theseus!!

By  Melissa, at 5/08/2005 10:56 PM  

Every class has its heroes and every class has its villians that make the stereotype. There are plenty of rich snobs and just as many poor wife beaters...but there are a few good ones thrown in here and there. My old neighbor a couple houses down used to be a kiddy porn collector, but the one across my street helps soup kitchens twice a year. Funny thing is, the soup kitchen lady is quite rich (husband owns oil company).
If you were DaVinci, it would be foolish not to recognize that your work is pretty decent.

By  Anonym, at 5/09/2005 10:52 AM  

Wanda! Ok so you said earlier that you don't know hardly any people who are rich. No,no...you are missing the point. Ok so take the people that you do know. The families in your neighborhood. Most of them are crazy with little league and whatnot. And their kids are for the most part, good people. See if you compared those kids to rich kids you'd find that they are alot happier and alot greater in character in almost every case. And it's one thing to understand whether or not you have talent. But to sit there and be like dang that's great, it will never allow improvement. And improvement is essential considering nothings perfect not even the Mona Lisa.

By  Melissa, at 5/09/2005 12:23 PM  

I'm not saying just sitting there admiring your own greatness is good pride. But is it wrong to recognize that something you've done is pretty dang good? If you were the greatest painter in the world, it's not a sin to acknowledge that you toss a mean watercolor.
The fact that you so burningly stick to your anti-rich people slander makes me think that you had a negative brush with upper society.
PS...Travis Barker is now in Transplants (a new band). He's runnin around with them at Warped Tour...that harlot.

pps. Lady Di wants to borrow Chances Are. Approve?

By  Anonym, at 5/11/2005 9:57 AM  

Pride is the root of all evil, I will never budge on this! Because you acknowledge yourself and not God.
And no I've never had any type of brush at all with upper society, I just like playing advocate to the underdog.
Haha, back to Travis. That's an embarrassing band band name. But he's still magnificent! It's his birthday tonight on the show. Anyway let him dwell among the whoremongers, he'll always come back home to Blink. He's like the Prodigal Son.
Haha, Chances Are. Isn't it about my turn for custody, but most importantly of the Dashboard setlist??:) Sure, Di can borrow it for her boldness alone.

By  Melissa, at 5/11/2005 12:56 PM  

You do realize that everything you "never" budge on, you end up being wrong...just an interesting statistic.
At least Travis is working. But I would like to hear more from Mark, he was barely on the last album. I miss that guy.
The dashboard setlist is still in my room where it BELONGS, and you're right, Diane is bold.
ps...being the smart shopper, I still have like, a million packs of Juicifuls that were never sent.

By  Anonym, at 5/11/2005 4:31 PM  

Always wrong by what or whose standard? That makes all the difference...
The set list belongs to me just as much as it belongs to you!! You can't strip me of my rights, that's illegal.
p.s. I WILL PAY YOU LARGE SUMS OF MONEY FOR THOSE. Seriously, they are officially extinct. I have one piece left that I carry with me at all times just in case I have a REALLY bad day, but other than that...so if you want to hide a bag or two in the hollow of a marked tree somewhere, I'll gladly make the trade for 5 times what a bag is worth. WITHDRAWL

By  Melissa, at 5/11/2005 5:57 PM  

By anyone's standards...print out a conversation and Joe Schmo could tell who the true victor was. You're just second to one, kiddo.
ps. How could I sleep at night if I knew I was aiding a recovering addict get BACK on the trail of terror. Do you really want to go through the horrors of your sugar laced stupor?
Plus, I'm rich...I don't need money.

By  Anonym, at 5/11/2005 9:31 PM  

Hahaha, I'm glad all this talk on excessive pride is helping you out:).

p.s. I think I am addicted because I felt quite vengeful inside when I read your intentions to NOT-SHARE!!! Haha and it doesn't look like it makes a diffence whether I'm in a sugar laced stupor, I'll always be second to one so what's the point right?
Seriously, I neeeeeeed Juciefuls! They make Indiana a little more bearable. I'm like a war victim begging for morphine. Would you turn them down too!?

By  Melissa, at 5/11/2005 11:15 PM  

You always want what you can't have...especially when they're filled with WONDERFUL gooey juiciful goodness, that's especially desirable.
I'm sure there are distribution centers around here somewhere...and how can you compare to a war victim? Show me your scars!

By  Anonym, at 5/12/2005 8:40 AM  

ACTUALLY, there aren't any distribution centers. My best friend searched online for some, all she could find were the multi-pack. I don't think I could handle gooey peach. Then, I looked up the actual maker of the candy. And they have discontinued the candy. SO YOU'VE got the last few packs in the WORLD. Making you a deadly target. Watch your back, friend!
And my scars are all internal!! I'm totally bitter because of my lack of Raspberry goodness.

By  Melissa, at 5/12/2005 1:31 PM  

Sheesh! You're like a coke fiend! I can see you crazy eyes from here and you haven't taken a bath in weeks! Get a hold of yourself, man.
My heart tells me that I should probably drop off a few cases for you (I only have about 20 packs)...but it's wrong to aid a recovering addict. Oh the moral confusion.

By  Anonym, at 5/12/2005 10:09 PM  

You do NOT have TWENTY packs!!!??! Do you?? That's excessive!! You don't even like them!!! At least not as much as I do! Morally you should donate a few packs to me. Like a nicotine patch, slowly ridding myself of the Jucieful ball and chain. Then maybe I could lead a normal life.
Oh, did you win tonight?

By  Melissa, at 5/12/2005 10:25 PM  

No win...big loss. We came in second and everyone was throwing up except me...it was weird.
And I DO have roughly twenty packs, probably more like 17 though. I figured I should buy in bulk...I didn't want to drive to E'ville too often. But go figure, I never used them.

By  Anonym, at 5/12/2005 10:37 PM  

And it's NOT excessive...that's smart shopping!

By  Anonym, at 5/12/2005 10:37 PM  

I wonder if it was so "smart"? You are stuck with a ton of candy that you don't even know what to do with because of your smart shopping knack!

By  Melissa, at 5/12/2005 10:56 PM  

HAHAHAHA, I bet you felt like you were at a party. Or maybe not... Second is good! Why is that a big loss?
WAIT, I've wanted to know this for like 3.2525 months did you win the Carmi Invite???

By  Melissa, at 5/12/2005 10:59 PM  

UGH the carmi invite. We lost in overtime because of Ricky Ray. Me and Zack fouled out and we were up 2 with 7 seconds left AND it was our ball...Ricky took it out and threw it straight to one of their guys and fouled him WHILE he made the basket. He hit the freethrow and we lost. It was horrible.

On a lighter note...you're right, what rotten luck. I'll probably just throw all of the candy away...

By  Anonym, at 5/12/2005 11:50 PM  

OUCH, I'm REALLY sorry I asked. You fouled out!? Haha, get em! At least you didn't take it lying down. But I'm kinda surprised Higgins would foul out. Isn't he more offense? Anyway, did you cry? I would've bawled, for serious.
And if you dispense of a single Jucieful I will hunt you down and it will NOT be pretty. You should just put them in my care. It's for the best.

By  Melissa, at 5/13/2005 12:39 AM  

I don't remember crying...I was a lot more angry than sad. It was in our hands and it got thrown away.
Why give you the goods when I can just torture you with the fact that I am in posession of the largest Juiciful claim in the world? It's such a lofty position and I'm quite fond of heights.

By  Anonym, at 5/13/2005 11:35 PM  

What ev you soooo cried. Most people cry when they are angry rather than when they are sad. It's a twisted reflex of the sort.
Can't you be nice to me!!!! Oh well, you leave me no choice, I will have to steal them.

By  Melissa, at 5/13/2005 11:51 PM  

Well you just totally gave away your only plus...the element of surprise. Now they're under lock and key. You'll need Tom Cruise to get my stash.

By  Anonym, at 5/14/2005 12:54 AM  

Or Susan Rice. I could simply ask her for the Juciefuls. All your evil plots turned to ruins. I wouldn't feel a bit of remorse. Actually I'd probably buy every cherry Air Head known to the world and THOSE hostage for awhile.

By  Melissa, at 5/14/2005 1:04 AM  

Well, seeing that I STILL have quite a few from the last shipment you gave me...I think I'll be ok.
You, on the otherhand, are without your poison. Muhwa ha ha

ps...are you and brent going to get married?!

By  Anonym, at 5/14/2005 1:24 AM  

Maybe so, but surely each piece has a 2 year old staleness to it. You would never have a fresh cherry airhead for all the rest of your tooth-havin' days.
p.s. Spying on me, eh? Brent and I, sigh...seventh grade love. What can I say? It was a magical year, ha I feel bad for having forgotten it.

By  Melissa, at 5/14/2005 1:41 AM  

They only get better with age...I believe that Airheads are the next Wine and will be served at every sophisticates party. Indeed.
Well, if you want to go back, just fly around the world opposite its spin really really fast, that way reversing the Earth's spin and traveling back in time.
It's very simple.

By  Anonym, at 5/14/2005 8:54 AM  

That's somewhat ironic. Disguised Air-heads served to sophisticated people without a clue as to what they are really drinking. Once I made a drink out of Jello mix. I called it Jello-Aid. Probably the worst experience of my childhood. Anyhow, I think solids should remain solids and liquids remain liquids.
Tempting really, to go about all that trouble transforming the earths orb for some random boy. But haha I don't think there would be anything or anyone in my past worth a change as eccentric as that.
I think you might be insane to wake up at 8 something in the morning on a Saturday. What's WRONG with you?!

By  Melissa, at 5/14/2005 12:27 PM  

I dunno...I'd reorbit the earth for Jennifer Garner, but only Old Jennifer Garner and not the new pregnant one.
I used to put food coloring into my water because my mom wouldn't buy us kool-aid. I was THAT desperate. I ended up pooping green...which is never good.
ps. I woke up at 745 actually...track practice and then swim lessons. busy morning.

By  Anonym, at 5/14/2005 2:11 PM  

What's the point in that? You NEVER had Jennifer Garner. Besides, she's old enough to be YOUR mom.
We should've convened back in the day and I could've taught you how to make Jello-Aid. I mean THAT would've been better than Red 40 and water.
Swim lessons? Did you forget how?

By  Melissa, at 5/14/2005 2:34 PM  

But maybe I could have wooed her when I was...7.
I wish I forgot how...no, my job is to bestow the knowledge on those younger than me. I teach swim lessons every saturday morning and tuesday night.

By  Anonym, at 5/14/2005 2:44 PM  

Except when you were 7, you would still definitely be stuck HERE and she would be stuck there. It was doomed from the beginning! You teach kids? How to swim? Hahahahahahah. Who put you in charge of that spiel?

By  Melissa, at 5/14/2005 2:55 PM  

The higher ups. I know, what were they thinking?

By  Anonym, at 5/15/2005 2:22 AM  

Have any of them drowned lately? Wait, I thought you hated kids? They must pay well.

By  Melissa, at 5/15/2005 1:12 PM  

When did I say I hated kids??? I love kids!!!!!! They're the only kind that understands me!

By  Anonym, at 5/15/2005 9:23 PM  

Well, didn't you say you weren't ever going to have kids??
Haha you mean these little people are able to tame and translate the mess of thoughts in your brain? How can you NOT love them...they are amazing!

By  Melissa, at 5/15/2005 10:07 PM  

p.s. Don't think I've forgotten about the Juciefuls...

By  Melissa, at 5/15/2005 10:10 PM  

Haha...I actually thought you did for a minute there. I went to the Dollar Tree last night just to see if you were telling the truth. You're right, they apparently no longer exist. How sad for you.

By  Anonym, at 5/15/2005 10:50 PM  

I know!! Isn't it awful! I used to go there anytime I was in town, and I'd ask the ladies if any were to be shipped. I stopped because I got the impression they thought I was nuts.
So yes, sad for me. But this is where you come in. I know you don't really plan on keep all those Juciefuls for yourself. C'mon you have a chance to be a hero!!

By  Melissa, at 5/17/2005 4:42 PM  

Nah, I don't wanna be famous. Being a hero is overrated. But, I will consider losing some packages...but who know, what if I really need them someday?!

By  Anonym, at 5/17/2005 9:11 PM  

The barn is GONE?! When did they mow it down???

By  Melissa, at 5/17/2005 9:34 PM  

The hobos took it to hobo heaven. I'm not exactly sure when they ravaged it, but it was deemed Unsafe.

By  Anonym, at 5/17/2005 11:31 PM  

Don't joke! I'm choking back tears here. I kept waiting for it, resting on the horizon and it just never showed up. First, Wildcat Video. Now, the Barn. Not to mention the extinction of Juciefuls. All my favorite things are disappearing! What's next.

By  Melissa, at 5/17/2005 11:55 PM  

God, I hope it's Snow Patrol...
HAHAHHAA
Anyways...yeah, I wonder if there's any artifacts left over.

By  Anonym, at 5/18/2005 8:59 AM  

Haha. You're so rancorous! Snow Patrol isn't my favorite anything.
I don't know, I might track down the owner and pay them a visit. Chastize them for destroying the scenery, perhaps they'll give me a souvenir.
Do you have pictures of it??
I think I NEED some Juciefuls to ease the pain, yeah.

By  Melissa, at 5/18/2005 12:27 PM  

I do have some pictures of it, actually. It's from the view of my passenger window going 60.
I'll see what I can do

By  Anonym, at 5/18/2005 9:40 PM  

None from the day we trekked out there in the snow? I really am sad. I meant to paint it this summer, I loved the tree growing as a part of it.
Have you read any Ender books besides the Shadow series??

By  Melissa, at 5/18/2005 10:25 PM  

I'm not sure...all of that stuff is stored in a box really far away. I'll have to look.
Are you talking about Xenocide and stuff like that?

By  Anonym, at 5/19/2005 11:27 PM  

What, is a new friend holding it safe away in China?
YUP, Xenocide but first Speaker of the Dead and lastly, Children of the Mind. So you haven't read any of them?

By  Melissa, at 5/20/2005 7:18 AM  

Something like that...
No, not a one. But I hear it's quite the read. Should I pick it up?

By  Anonym, at 5/20/2005 8:14 AM  

Cha! Naturally, Speaker of the Dead first because it follows Ender immeadiately. I have YET to read Xenocide (#3). I'm trying to finish this other series of Orson's before I venture back out into the Sci-Fi madness. BUT, Speaker of the Dead was AMAZING. I liked it better than Ender. I know...blasphemous, but it's true! You won't be disapointed.

By  Melissa, at 5/20/2005 4:57 PM  

You better hope you're speaking truth, because NOTHING is better than Ender. You're going to hell.

By  Anonym, at 5/21/2005 2:15 AM  

This is because you never get out and see the world! LOTS of things are better than Ender, you'd be surprised. Matter o' fact, I don't know if you could handle the rest of the world. Your head might explode. Either way, I'm dancing in the flames for book sin.
Oh but if you haven't read Ender in awhile I'd re-read it before delving into life at Lusitania. I don't want you stumbling through it in the dark.
Have you read anything good as of late?

By  Melissa, at 5/21/2005 3:25 AM  

Lusitania? That was a ship back with the Titanic. It got sunk by the Germans for no reason (it was a tourist ship from here to England) and it was one of the reasons for WWI. Any symbology?
No, and i NEEEEEED something good.

By  Anonym, at 5/21/2005 6:32 PM  

Wow...thank you for that. You should be a history teacher. Haha. Anyway, Lusitania is a Brazilian colony with Portuguese as its main language. Therefore, no visible symbology but I'm sure we could make something up. IF you read it. Which you should because it's fabulous. If you do,I think I publicly connected you to Libo once. Yah, I changed my mind after the third chapter. Libo went CRAZY. I can't believe you havent read the follow ups!?! Aren't you DYING to know what became of the Hive Queen and Valentine??

By  Melissa, at 5/21/2005 7:20 PM  

I dunno...I really liked Ender. He was my favorite. Why ruin an already perfect book with sequels?? Think StarWars.

By  Anonym, at 5/22/2005 1:02 AM  

This is trilogy-quality!! Not episode-whatever-nonsense! Ender is in this book too! It's all about Ender. He's saving the world again, one piggy at a time. You can't not read it now. I'm just way too excited for you to read it.

By  Melissa, at 5/22/2005 1:56 AM  

Okokokokok i will read them...I really wanted to anyways, but now I'm fanatical. I almost called you last night, actually. I was on my nerd websites and came across an article about the Ender's Game movie!!! Supposedly they've been working on it for the better part of 2 years and are at yet another standstill. But I saw a clip and it didn't look too repulsive. It was from the battleroom. THE BATTLEROOM!! How cool is that?! Wow...I'm in love with it all over again.

By  Anonym, at 5/23/2005 9:52 AM  

Ahh! I went to nerd websites for the new movie a couple weeks ago! And I had no such luck as a movie clip! YOU HAVE TO SEND ME THE LINK. But I don't understand how they've already started filming, I mean last I heard they hadn't even started to cast?? Or Haley Joel Osment was in talks to play Ender. If this happens I'll send around a petition. That kid is far too wimpy. He could be Bean.

By  Melissa, at 5/23/2005 12:15 PM  

Ok, so last I heard it was gonna be that kid who played little Anakin Skywalker in Episode one...but I think he's too old now. Anyways, the clip is just an effects test...meaning that they might not have a cast together, but they were just trying out the battleroom scene. They just had a bunch of random kids bouncing off of walls...but it looked cool. Very Scott Card. And I will definitely sign your petition if any of those brats gets Ender.

You forgot to leave the link!!
How did they do it? Null gravity? The movie industry taking over NASA? I heard it's to come out in late 2006?? And the screenwriters are the fellas who wrote XMen...which worries me. Orson is also doing some of the adapting, maybe he'll save it. Who do you think would make the best Ender? I'm worried its going to turn into a kid movie simply because the leads might be popular child-actors who star in movies like Racing Stripes. I'm really talking myself out of this movie, there's just no way it can compare.

Yeah...Chances Are I'll just wait till it comes out on dvd to watch it privately in my own home. That way if I'm disapointed (which seems 99.9% likely), I can throw a huuuuge temper tantrum and curse the likes of Card forever. Speaking of which...what IS the order of the books?????

No way! I'll be there opening night. If it's going to suck then I'd rather just get it over with. No sense in delaying the inevitable. Besides you can still throw a tantrum in the parking lot. Maybe save a few onseers from buying a ticket. But DON'T curse Card!! I will curse you! Curse Hollywood. Orson's a genius.
The Books:
1. Ender's Game
2. Speaker for the Dead
3. Xenocide
4. Children of the Mind
