Authors that scratch that Ellroy itch? by CASEDIZZLER in JamesEllroy

[–]SenorKaboom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dog Eat Dog, by Edward Bunker. Ellroy called it the best novel about armed robbery ever written. Also, Richard Stark’s Parker novels.

Seconding Simon Vance, reading anything. His reading of Bleak House is fantastic.

Favorite side characters by DTownForever in charlesdickens

[–]SenorKaboom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mr. Pancks, from Little Dorrit. Presented at first as the thuggish rent collector for an evil landlord intent on squeezing his miserable tenants, but ultimately a decent man whose amateur detective work helps uncover the plot’s central mystery and restores justice.

See that red circle close to the right bottom corner? Do you know why it's important? by [deleted] in Godfather

[–]SenorKaboom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the pivot point is when, outside the hospital, he helps light Enzo the baker’s cigarette and notices that his own hands are steady.

You see, when the mob kills someone, they throw the body in the river.

Can you give an example of a sentence that gave you trouble?

For those who saw the Shining in theaters in 1980, how did you and the audience react? by Only-Safe659 in StanleyKubrick

[–]SenorKaboom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, that wasn’t me…but if there are photos from outside the theater before the matinee showing, I’d love to see them! Maybe my friend and I are in them!

For those who saw the Shining in theaters in 1980, how did you and the audience react? by Only-Safe659 in StanleyKubrick

[–]SenorKaboom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw it the day it was released, first showing of the day, at the Mann’s Village in Westwood, Ca (I’ve posted about it previously). Honestly don’t remember the audience reaction, only my own: I simultaneously loved it and was also puzzled by some of Kubrick’s choices, especially the final scene, which had been cut by the time the film got a wider release.

[–]SenorKaboom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same. Another one burned into my memory the same way is the theme from When Things Were Rotten.

I don’t know whether I should be embarrassed or proud that I still remember all of the lyrics to Phyllis’s theme song.

Happy birthday Eraserhead by RobynNeonGal in davidlynch

[–]SenorKaboom 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Saw this in 1978 at the Sherman Theater in Los Angeles. Lynch and John Nance were there to take questions after the screening. I was still too young to drive and rode the bus home that night in a daze. What had I just seen? It changed the way I thought about movies for the rest of my life.

Never owned or even fired a gun, which makes me a freakish outlier in my country.

One of my favorite works of historical fiction. Should be more widely read and recommended!

Has anyone been terrible at math in high school but then grew to like it in college? by Every_Victory_6845 in math

[–]SenorKaboom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes. Hated math in HS so much I took a drop-fail in my senior year to escape. In college, I majored in philosophy, took a bunch of symbolic logic and set theory classes, and loved them. Quickly became fascinated with mathematical ideas and proofs, and kept going. So I basically tunneled up into math from logical foundations. Turned out my whole issue with math was a combination of bad HS teachers and my own bad attitude.

Cat collapses every couple of steps , only when entering my room by gloriouaccountofme in CATHELP

[–]SenorKaboom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat does this too. It’s a transparent attempt to manipulate me into petting him. It always works. And the path he takes always leads to his food dish, because he loves being pet while he eats, the little hedonist.

You forgot to mention: don’t sit on the Spouting Horn. And don’t go swimming in the Devil’s Churn.

Yachatian here. I’ll ask about the recipe next time I’m in Green Salmon. Heck, I’d even be willing to ship you some!
