"I love it because I feel like I’ve got an insight of what my dad was kind of like. Also, in the movie I did with [director Richard Linklater — Everybody Wants Some!!] too, it was just cool to see this is kind of — like, my dad could’ve been one of these guys easily. It just shows that nothing’s changed. You’re relating to your parents — or any generation really — without having to be in front of them. It’s a really cool time-travelling-of-the-soul type of movie, which I really dig. It really holds up. It’s timeless. It sounds cliché — saying “timeless” — because that’s what I’m going to say about every single one of these movies, but the thing that’s cool about that is that there’s nothing close to what I’ve experienced. I didn’t have the same hair. I didn’t have the same music. I didn’t have the same clothes. I didn’t have the same kind of approach to anything, really, but I feel like I’ve been there still. That’s really cool when a movie can do that. You can see behind the mask and everybody can still relate. It’s really cool, and that movie does that."

Immature. Far too many phallic jokes. Just not funny. (0 more)
Good--if you're 12.
If you're 12 years old, it's great. Got all the jokes a 6th grader would make, and more. But other than that, I watched like a whole episode and was unimpressed.

This book has solidified the fact that I really just don't like Neil Gaiman as an author. The story was ok, nothing to write home about. It was kind of amusing? I'm really trying to be nice, but I don't have anything more to say.

I really didn't enjoy this as much as Book 1. I felt like it was maybe a time filler? Not a lot happened that was really relevant to the journey and it just left me with unanswered questions, still moving on to Book 3 though.

"I always turn to Wendell Berry for inspiration on food, community, agriculture, and well, just being a human. His work has influenced so many of my own mentors that I feel like he’s my own teacher. This is one of my favorite collections of his."

"Feeling like your world is currently imploding? Here’s an I-couldn’t-put-it-down dystopian novel that makes the end of days kind of cheery (in the end). I just finished reading it, and am glad to have a place to sing its praises."

"A love story that takes place in the world of the young, jaded, elite crowd of 1920s NYC. Never has a book made me want to jump inside it just to go shopping like this one. It’s the most stylish book you’ll ever read."

"“Where I learned in eighth grade, I think, that in the future you could have unbridled sci-fi sex with every man and woman within reach, without guilt, fear or weirdness, and have great end-of-times adventures. Just like my dreams! Fantastically futuristic!"

This film didn't really age well. There isn't really much of a plot. It just feels like a lot of chaos. It was boring and there's nothing really interesting about it that makes you want to keep watching. It's also wildly predictable. Overall, meh.

Once in Africa, I kissed a king...

"And just like that, in an old red barn at the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, I discovered the elusive magic I had only ever glimpsed between the pages of great love stories."
