"While all the women came and went..."

There are many reasons that I love Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower," but perhaps the thing I most love about it is that it feels like a prologue, and then ends with the beginning of a story.

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view

Hmm, I'll have to give Deadgirl a day in court when listeningowl is occupied with anime or something. She doesn't like gore.

I am reminded of Jules in Pulp Fiction: 'I can't usually get them because my girlfriend's a vegetarian, which pretty much makes me a vegetarian.' But mmmm, I do love the taste of a good gore movie.

It's not a gorefest at all. Just a couple of scenes that really needed to be toned down some. It's a movie that could have gone drastically bad in the wrong hands, given the subject matter.
It's also a movie that is impossible to talk too much about without giving away some key points that I think it's important not to know before going into it.
I'm really glad it's streamable through Netflix, or we may not have ever seen it.

And though not even close to what I would called a "gore movie," it is exceedingly brutal.

It's not a gorefest?? Forget it, then. Citizen Kane is okay, but it'd be better if people got killed with a chainsaw.

...and loving The Red Tree! Shades of many different books and tales and myth here, and all in a good way. Hope the bad time passes soon for you.

So I bought A is for Alien on your recommendation. I love good short stories, have had good feelings about most of what I get from Subterranean too. The Red Tree has moved up to three on my reading pile( I still have my note to read the prelude,such a strange idea), and should get to it in the next couple of weeks.
You make me wonder tho is it more important to be good or be recognized? I know both are best,but the question is for either or.
