Sebastian Stan recommended Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1993) in Movies (curated)

"When I was growing up, The Sandlot, the Back to the Future trilogy, and any Jim Carrey movie were, like, my movies. Jim Carrey, actually, really was one of the first [actors] I loved. Because he would make me laugh. And I would always imitate him. That was kind of how I started [getting into acting]."

Ursula K. Le Guin recommended Silas Marner in Books (curated)

"Silas Marner was probably on the 1945 high school curriculum because it was short and not about sex. I hated it — didn’t have a clue what it wasabout. Eliot (real name Mary Ann Evans) writes with a dry, adult humor and depth of experience of pain I could only appreciate when I finally finished growing up."

Book Favorite

"This felt so personal when I first read it, laugh out loud funny. One of the finest books, or actually any art form, to deal with the complexities of growing up being British and Asian. It’s about family, London, politics, art, relationships and the fascination with Eastern spirituality. I always shared the lead character's dream of escaping to NYC. "

Russ Troutt (291 KP) rated You Cannot Kill David Arquette (2020) in Movies

Sep 2, 2020

Giant spiders couldn't kill him, Ghostface couldn't kill him, wrestling couldn't kill him(almost did), and You Cannot Kill David Arquette. This was such a great documentary. As a fan of movies, a fan of wrestling, and someone who also hates growing up I've always loved David Arquette. After watching this documentary, I now respect him as well.
