Tumblr City, dead ahead!

Looking for book recommendations for a younger reader

One of my coworkers has a boy who just LOVES to read, and I want to encourage this, cuz I love books too. I know he likes the Percy Jackson series and I think Hunger Games. I sent him The Hobbit, which I think he mostly liked, and Ender’s Game, which he just started but my coworker said he is really enjoying. I think I wanna get him Tarzan and possibly Watership Down for variety, but I’m not sure what else. He is 12 years old, but otherwise I don’t know much about his personal likes. Any suggestions for some titles to try?

Ah yeah. Finally got to see this. OMFG it was so fun. I really don’t think Adams was a good choice, but otherwise everyone else was well cast. Cavill was uber sexy, and did a great Kal story. I will always love Reeve’s interpretation of the combo of Clark and Kal (remember when he’s just gotten to the Daily Planet and gives Lois that wolf stare? Mmhmm <3), but this one was great on its own. Cavill was so tortured, despite the basic optimism that Superman usually carries in most portrayals. Oh yeah, Hans Zimmer’s score was fantastic and really helped carry the scenes. Overall, very highly suggested!!!

#if you don’t like this movie you’re wrong

Let’s all take a moment to consider the fact that one of the few Robin Hood movies to actually cast a British actor as Robin Hood was a goofy Mel Brooks parody flick.

Really let that sink in.

The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places. But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater.

this gifset nearly made me cry.

nah, it’s cool. i didn’t need my heart today.

I cannot tell you how much I loved the Boromir and hobbits-playing scene. It was really short, but you get a glimpse of how Boromir might have been a good big brother for Faramir.

i think i agree with the idea that data does have some form of emotion and he just doesn’t recognize it

but it makes me wonder then what exactly changed when he got the emotion chip other than his ability to express it and why he didn’t talk about this more

I used to think that the emotion chip was pretty much the same as Dumbo’s magic feather. It was mostly a placebo that helped him make those connections to be able to present his emotions as the humans (and other species) around him did.
