Here, have a bit of meme: ( Day 24 - The best page-to-screen film adaptation )

At 2pm this afternoon I had an essay due in on non-places and the alienated postmodern city in crime fiction, using the films Heat and Se7en and the comic Watchmen as my examples ( Read more... )

I don't know. It's not like nothing happened this week. I think I just periodically have moments of "Who reads this shit anyway?" and forget about it for weeks at a time.
