(actually I liked it as a pretty much straight transfer of a weird french HEAVY METAL story direct to the screen)

i've only seen that once, and i may have been drinking, but i remember liking the look of it even if i don't really remember the plot at all.

the only thing that stuck with me is the antagonist's death at the end seemed unnecessary

ugh I noticed the daily Kindle deal had The Hobbit in for a quid, but

What a loving dull as dirt cover that is, anything else would be better. No kid is going to want to pick that up off a library shelf.

Maybe its another 'Harry Potter book but with grown-up cover' thing?

remember when the queen of Denmark sent Tolkien some pictures she drew of scenes from LotR under a pen name and he liked them so much that they were included in subsequent publications

my mom read these when she was pregnant with me, I never had a chance

I remember trying to read them when I was like 8 just because of the covers and entirely not getting it but coming back to them in junior high and getting my mind blown. I still have them and the slipcase with the artwork as one continuous piece but they're too beat up to read anymore, I have found replacement copies of those editions to actually use

from an 2012 avclub interview ( https://tv.avclub.com/jessica-walter-1798229967 )

quote:

AVC: Speaking of racy, there was a great clip of a live performance of you reading Craigslist ads at the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival last year.

JW: Oh my God. You know something? That was at an Archer panel at some club in Brooklyn. They wanted, like, a talent show or something, and Adam Reed, our brilliant creator commander-in-chief, said, “Well, we’ll just have you read off of Craigslist.” I had never even seen Craiglist. I know what it is. It’s advertising, and I said, “Okay.” I think it was like a mock Craigslist. It couldn’t have been real, because it was so off-color.

AVC: I’m pretty sure those are real.

JW: They’re real?

AVC: BJ for a bus pass? Yeah, that’s basically what Craigslist is.

JW: Don’t they advertise rentals, and, you know, products to buy? I didn’t realize Craigslist was personals, you know, like personals in the newspaper. But I went with it, and it was great fun. I had no idea what I was talking about. Like the initials. MSW? No. MWM. I said, “What does that mean?” “Men with men.” Who knows from these? I mean, not me. It was a fun evening, let’s put it that way.
