Gallimaufry said: Kokko said: I've never read Steinbeck. Been too busy with European lit. I think I've seen an adaptation or two of his works. Lots of Americans are exposed Steinbeck via his novella Of Mice and Men. It's common required reading in high school. The Grapes of Wrath too, though it wasn't required reading for me back when I was in high school (OMAM was when I was a freshman). One of the other reasons why I haven't read anything by him yet is because zerg (a former member who is really into literature) doesn't like Steinbeck (or pretty much all American lit). I think the only American authors he likes are Nabokov and T.S. Eliot. |

| I was looking for Pink on animebytes and I found a torrent uploaded by Paulo lol Unfortunately it was a raw :/ --- Gekiga Hyouryuu's first chapter was released in 1995 and the final chapter came out in 2006, but it's MAL page says that it was published in the span of two weeks in 2008. Weird. I dunno how to change it tho |

But it shouldn't take more than an hour then I can play wot. We were at the end of episode 11 when his connection just died :/ |

Crafty said: TripleSRank said: The second Huntsman movie was nice. I didn't realize Snow White wouldn't be directly present in the movie, which wasn't unpleasant even though the first movie is probably the only thing I like Kristen Stewart in. It was a bit overly action-heavy, unsurprisingly, but there was some decent humor and the characterization of the antagonists was pretty good. The two protags were a bit more ho-hum, but overall the movie made for a good time passer. Is this the one where they lost 70million on it? It didn't open to the amount projected in the box office when it was released in the USA and Canada, so they then projected a loss of 30 to 40 million with some estimates indeed going up to 70 million. However, as of May 15, 2016, it has grossed $44.5 million in North America and $109.4 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $153.9 million (against a budget of $115 million), meaning it has a box office profit of over 38.9 million now. It wasn't well received by critics. I suppose you could call the film "unnecessary" in the sense that the first was already conclusive, but I don't think the second was bad. It's not a must-see by any stretch since I'd only consider it average taking all things into consideration, but I don't think it would be a waste of money either if you're interested. |

I don't think I'll be reading it for another month or so tho Innocent: Rouge (the sequel) is published every other week, so I'm hoping that it'll look even better. |

No, I'm waiting for the GTX 1070 to release so I can get DOOM for "free". Pullman said: Kokko said: Good luck man, I've been following the election sporadically and I've felt bad about it :/ tfw it's exactly at 50% right now. That's nervewracking. |
