Dresden Files

[jetpack_monkey_ljarchive]

Based on hearty recommendations from, um, everyone, I've ordered the first two books in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series (thank you Amazon 4-for-3 deal, which totally allowed me to sneak in two DVDs). I'll let you know what I think as soon as I know.

Also, because of incessant teasing from my co-workers, up to and including my boss, I've just ordered Tron on DVD. Apparently, the fact that I haven't seen it only makes me half a geek. I'll show 'em. I'm not caving on The Last Starfighter or War Games, however.

YAY! You've finally caved! But, dude, you must see War Games someday, serously. I actually owned antique computers such as the ones in that movie. :)

You've never seen War Games? Dude, you have to see it. It's excellent. Well, okay, I haven't seen it since I was like ten, so I might not be remembering it's excellence correctly, but it's good enough to at least rent.

I just ordered The Last Starfighter and WarGames because my friends list just erupted in a volcano of geek schooling over them.

I will be very interested to see how I like them.

I imagine so... I mean *dude*... how can you now have seen Wargames??!?!?!?!?!

Wow. Were I to rate those three films in terms of interest to me, I would say:

01. The Last Starfighter
02. War Games
03. Tron

I mean, the plot of The Last Starfighter is that he is really good at a video game, so clearly he has to be the one to save the universe. I mean... Dude. =)

Tron is just a version of The Matrix or Neuromancer without good special effects. I was never very fond of it, even when it came out.

Fine, dammit. I just ordered the other two. You people with your 1980s movies, geez. When I think 1980s, I think Re-Animator, dammit.

You're only shooting yourself in the foot over The Last Starfighter. Robert Preston is made of eight kinds of truly amazing win.

My father quotes bits of that movie at me occasionally.

Dude! How can you not want to watch The Last Starfighter or War Games? I like Tron, but the other two movies are really a lot better.

I should ask, what is making you not want to watch them?

[jetpack-monkey.livejournal.com]

Pride, mostly. Which I've since swallowed, as those movies are on their way.

[kassandra05.livejournal.com]

Yay! You won't regret it. *will watch The Last Starfighter in your honor today*

Wow, memories of the early 80's. That's scary.

But yeah, you definitely need to see both of those movies because they are awesome!!!

I've not seen any of those. Wheee. Well, maybe The Last Starfighter, but my memory is hazy...

BUT YAY FOR DRESDEN BOOKS!!!! :D

It's about time you started reading Dresden. And Tron is definitely the worst of those three movies, hands down.

*feels loved*
