"""I got my first guitar when I was seven; actually, it was a ukulele, but at the time it was big enough to be a full-size guitar. When I was nine I got a three-quarter size nylon, six-string guitar and with it I had a little beginner’s guide guitar book, which I still have. I went through that and within ten minutes I could play E minor, A7 - you know, some simple chords. “Then I was at a car boot sale and we found an Elvis chord book and ‘Love Me Tender’ was in it. I was familiar with it, but it was the first song that I fully learned and the first song that I knew the melody well enough to be able to figure out if I was playing the guitar chords wrong or right. “It was a real catalyst of a song for making me use my ear; in terms of working out what I was actually hearing and then sussing out chord shapes to go along with the melody. I still love playing the song, just very softly. And I still have the Elvis book but it all fell apart, so it’s in a ring-binder now with plastic sleeves that you’d get at school."

A movie about gamers in a virtual world.
A film about gamers in a virtual world, I was gonna love this film from the start being a gamer and reality escapist myself. It didnt disappoint.

Now I just cant wait for this kind of technology to hit the masses and I will then be in bliss. Or should i say Oasis ;).

Also enjoyed it that much I bought it on dvd today.

Book Favorite

"I don’t remember the first time I read Goodbye to All That, but I do know that a little part of me thinks of it whenever I turn on the air conditioner. Didion is a big picture writer and a vital writer (On Self-Respect is required reading for any woman, Sentimental Journeys for any person). She’s a national treasure, but for me it’s the image of her taking a messy bite of a peach on the sidewalk that feels like the Didion I know."

Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989)
1989 | Comedy, Drama

"I like Woody Allen. Crime and Misdemeanors I liked a lot. I think it’s just wonderful. I also enjoy many of those — I like Hannah and Her Sisters, and Husbands and Wives; I like Broadway Danny Rose. This morning I was watching Love and Death, with Diane Keaton which I like a lot. But Crimes and Misdemeanors is maybe the best one of those."

I love that I can keep a "bookshelf" of what I've read. Since I read across different platforms, I don't always have a physical copy of the books but here, I can easily see what I've read! (0 more)
Great place to keep track of the books you've been reading.

I started this show because I saw it on here. Let m just say its corney and laughable, but I love it. It puts a crazy spin on the zombie subject. It's a new favorite of mine. I wish I could remember who rated it and reviewed it. :)

I studied this book for my English Literature A Level and the more I learnt about it, the more I realised how intelligent and creative McEwan has been. I know some people that found parts of this novel a little slow but personally I relished the detail character development.

Wish I had this when I was a kid.
I would have been so happy if I had this when I was a kid, so many things to watch, no comercials. Takes the place of cable almost.
  
I think AMM would be greatly pleased to know that <i>The Summer Before</i> did a lot to change my opinion of Kristy Thomas. I've never cared for Krist, but now I find myself empathizing with her a lot more than I did over 20 years ago.

I started off hating this movie but i guess halfways threw i started to enjoy this movie. I am glad i did not shut this off halfways and finished it. If you enjoy movies were they are stuck in a loop you might want to give this a try.
