Giver called the sex feelings “stirrings” The book ended with him riding a sled towards a bar with a stolen baby that was going to get a keyed. Then they made a movie called equilibrium.

Mel Mudkiper posted:ever see Return to Oz? Oh of course, Dorothy seeing the electro shock machine and turning it into a character really stuck with me when I first saw it. I watched that and Labyrinth a ton of times back to back. But yeah, the original Oz books were so weird because they're so old that a lot of the cultural references being pulled from have no basis to compare to anymore.

That's from the Baum line of books. The illustrator of Wizard of Oz got 50% of the first books profits, made a musical theatre version that was very different, and his book sequel started with tin man and scarecrow on Broadway and hijinks ensued. He made enough money with his pulpy spinoff that he bought a Caribbean island. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Wallace_Denslow CannonFodder fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Jan 12, 2018 |

The Giver was really loving weird: - Parents were given children that were from birthing centers instead of having their own - As soon as kids started having stirrings, aka "sexual thoughts" they were given pills to suppress those thoughts. - I think it's inferred that society could no longer see color and that everyone was colorblind. - People could request a "release" from society which meant they were euthanized. - When you hit the age of 12 they had a giant ceremony that told you what your job was gonna be for life. I remember the part where the giver gives the protagonist the memory of war with all the dead bodies around, then afterward he goes and plays with his friends who are playing mock war and he has a massive PTSD attack from it, and he can't explain to his friends why. poo poo was hosed.

The human bladder can hold about 16 ounces at most, so she pocketed at least a cool $8k per ounce.

Or it might have been Rascal, I read both those books around the same time and conflated them. Also got really scared by The View from the Cherry Tree and Something Wicked This Way Comes.
