I read (magazine, tangible format) the Coen Bros assured him True Grit was based on the book and not the remake as he didn't want to be the guy who tried to step into the Duke's boots. <br /><br />So, how was that one ... and did you get the urge to take the wife and kids to the Lebowski Lanes to bowl 'em over?

BlockBuster still provides the browse-factor NetFlix neglects goin' for the numbers in ease ... and hookin' an online experience to the bigger screen across from the couch with the lights all out can just about zing the cinematic pleasure. It's all about the journey.<br /><br />Tangible, turnable pages entice timelessly. WritingSites and WebSites and DSD-cited and AT THE BIJOU (theatre for the mind of writers' raves) provide good reads in their own savouring as well. Got the NOOK last Christmas and with time opening (one of these days), I know it'll add its own niche. <br /><br />Agree with that Reardon fella that internet's been good for market-opening, exposure-enhancing and writing array to authors, authors everywhere. ~ Absolutely*Kate<br /><br />(remember, they said Elvis would ruin music)Kate Pilarcik ~ absolutelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12430278736281847787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-17295752424473391302011-01-02T17:08:45.555-05:002011-01-02T17:08:45.555-05:00I hardly ever go to the movies for the same reason...I hardly ever go to the movies for the same reasons Joyce mentioned.I prefer DVR, Netflix, On Demand.<br /><br />I got a nook about six months ago and love it. I still like print books , but they are becoming a pain in the ass for a lot of reasons. I still think ebooks, for the most part are overpriced, but still cheaper than print versions most times. <br /><br /><br />I think the internet has been fabulous for both reader and writer, especially for the short story.Sean Patrick Reardonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051252366031997054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-83136022341738470062011-01-02T14:11:13.384-05:002011-01-02T14:11:13.384-05:00I never go to the theatre anymore.

I prefer cable and Redbox, thank you.<br /><br />As far as books go, I have had 7 ebooks published, but I will not ever purchase one. Crazy, maybe, but I love the feel of a book in my hands, using my favorite bookmarks, reviewing a page or two.<br /><br />I think ereaders are fine, maybe for people who are always on the go, but tell me you can't find a little bit of time to sit down with a cup of coffee or cocoa, your feet up and a book in your hands. Plus the time I spend in libraries browsing and reading too, I wouldn't trade for anything.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275503653927579472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-715828884598377752011-01-02T11:20:28.438-05:002011-01-02T11:20:28.438-05:00Yeah, I'm seeing fewer and fewer movies in the...Yeah, I'm seeing fewer and fewer movies in the theater and Netflixing it more often. But with books, I'm still basically in paper mode. I've downloaded a couple of books to my computer, but I prefer paper and have no intentions of purchasing a tablet/kindle/nook this year.<br /><br />Not that I have anything against them. I'm just cheap.Chris Rhatiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05769089157184374652noreply@blogger.com
