The movie (that I literally didn't know existed until right this moment) is based on a novel by Anne Rice, under the pen name Anne Rampling.
She also wrote a series of BDSM novels about Sleeping Beauty under the pen name A. N. Roquelaure.
No idea what your reading level is, but here are some of the suggestions I've made to customers recently:
Harry Potter, if for no other reason than the cultural impact
Ender's Game: children being taught to be elite military officers
Small Gods: satirizes religion, religious institutions, etc. If you ever want to read Discworld, this is a very good starting point
We Free Men: also Discworld, but YA-focused and about a girl who becomes a witch
Lamb, the Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal: author imagines what Jesus and his BFF Biff were doing for those thirty years missing not recorded in the Bible.
Kindred: a woman starts to travel back in time to the pre-Civil War South. She can't control it and she doesn't know why. Probably Butler's most accessible novel.
A Canticle for Leibowitz: humanity nuked itself back to the early medieval period and this one holy order watches it rebuild. It's hard to describe this book in a satisfactory way without just summarizing it, but it's one of my favorites and I've read it multiple times
The Giver: YA dystopian novel about a very structured society and the kid who is able to see through it. The sequels aren't too bad either
The Hobbit: much easier to read than Lord of the Rings, but full of the same heroics plus dragons, dwarves and a clever hero
It has a barter system, but you don't need to use it if you don't want to. Nearly everything you need in the game can be harvested or made.
Their other game, Grow: Song of the Evertree, is pretty fun too. It's partly a city builder, partly exploring new worlds that you create. It's been a while since I played it, so I remember some sort of currency, but I don't really remember having to work that hard for it. Mostly, I just focused on creating worlds with crazy elements.
I think that this is from the episode where she's possessed by a Pah-wraith and it's showing O'Brien that it can kill Keiko at any time.
Formerly known as QAnon Anonymous, they're a podcast that started out covering Q-related conspiracies, but have since expanded into general conspiracies and far-right rhetoric. The hosts are also non-tankie leftists, which makes the show even more appealing to me.
She's in Science of Identity Foundation and I believe pretty close to the leader. QAA has a two part episode about it and her.
Definitely in Michigan. It was one of the only parts of my speech that never disappeared after living in Texas for a decade.
Preacher by Garth Ennis, who also wrote The Boys.
If you're going to plant it, plant it in a pot first, then bury the pot up to the lip. It will stay mostly contained and you won't see the pot unless you're right on top of it. Mint reproduces through runners as well as by seeds and the runners are so much harder to control. If you bury the entire pot, it makes it easier for the runners to escape, which is why you want that little bit of lip above ground.
I don't know about actively posting, but Karin something-or-other monitors social media posts about scientology. Don't forget to say hi, in case she's found out about Lemmy.
Hi, Karin!
You're remembering correctly. That's how the first character dies in Dreamcatcher. Stephen King was recovering from a car accident and was on oxy when he wrote the book if that helps explain anything.
They're terrified of the mRNA vaccine. Because they're incurious about science, they think it's brand new, like invented just for this virus. Try telling them that the delivery mechanism has been around for awhile and scientists have been working on this vaccine since SARS and all they do is cover their ears and hum louder.
Instead of protesting outside, we should go inside and laugh at people like this. Make them worry that the crowd is just there to humiliate them.
