Dimmukane:
I liked it mostly because of the allusions it made to that one Heironymous Bosch painting that they looked at in the movie (not an Art History major, forgive me for not knowing it's name, but it's the most famous one he did).
Usopp:
Sin City, both books and movie(and movies to come :D)
Great style of coloring, i really enjoyed that, kinda jumps around a lil w/ the stories, but otherwise a great movie
The Count of Monte Cristo(book)
Great book, I found it to be a page turner. Somewhere nigh on THE representative of classical romantic fiction(THIS romantic(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_(genre)), not this romantic(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_novel))
A Song of Ice and Fire series
EXCELLENT, especially if you are into the mideval version of Realpolitik mixed with a smattering of fantasy and two heaping spoonfulls of whoop-ass
The Princess Bride(book and movie)
I enjoyed the book, very interesting perspectives in it. The movie is kinda B-movie-ish, but still great for all that.
JOHN ADAMS. JOHN F*CKING ADAMS.
This makes history BADASS. A great look into this rather unpopular president's tenure and life as the "Colossus of the Revolution."

2001, A Space Odyssey. I want to recommend this to anyone who watches film. I want to also tell people to not watch A Clockwork Orange, I barely lasted 10 minutes before turning the thing off. It might have been good once...but now it's just...eugh.
Can someone explain 2001 to me? Like...the entire thing. Or is it something that I have to see 3-4 more times to start understanding it.
Joseph:
Read the book.
And finish watching "A Clockwork Orange". And then read that book. Or read the book first. But do both.
Gilead:
The graphic novel Epileptic by David B. is without hyperbole one of the greatest uses of the comic medium I have ever read, it is the author's autobiographical record of growing up with a brother suffering from epilepsy in a time before anyone really knew what it was or how to treat it, not only is it fantastically written but it has the most beautiful black and white art, it is one of my biggest inspirations as a writer, an artist and a former epileptic.
Seriously, it's really fucking good.
