My own comment might be considered laughable too. That came from a formerly sighted person who temporarily forgot that he was blind and speaking to a bunch of other blind people. Anyway, I did see that movie before I became blind and it was one of those movies that was so bad that it was good. There were a lot of other gaffs in it too, but I think most of them had to be seen to be appreciated. For example, one of the lead characters was played by Bela Lugosi. Before the movie was finished Bela Lugosi died and another actor was substituted. They tried to cover up the substitution by having the other actor cover his face with a cape. There is a group of fans of bad movies who are practically fanatical about that one along with movies like "Godzilla Versus the Smog Monster" and others. Obviously there are also a coterie of bad writing fans too. I forget the name of it, but on this list there was some discussion of a series of books dedicated to awards for bad writing.

I didn't notice, of course, Roger, you will laugh at my comment, because I'm blind, though I do have light perception.--"To me, music that breaks your heart is the music that stays with you forever. It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated, but when you get the two of them together in a way people can relate to, then I think you're on to something. You want the sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound, the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of the performances."-Trumpeter Chris Botti-- --Passion x Patience x Persistence x Perseverance x Diligence x Integrity = Success, for both the trainer and the trainee.-- -- Chela Robles AIM and E-Mail: cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxx Skype: jazzytrumpet WindowsLive Messenger: cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxxxxFacebook Profile: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?ref=profile&id=690550695Cell: 1-925-250-5955I Volunteer for a non-profit organization called Bookshare, to find out more go to: http://www.bookshare.org------- Original Message ----- From: "Roger Loran Bailey" <rogerbailey81@xxxxxxx>To: <bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2010 4:37 PM Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Re: Some Amusing Bad WritingThat reminds me of the movie "Plan Nine from Outer Space." There is a chase scene in it where parts of it were filmed at night and other parts of it were filmed in the daytime. Did the people who made that movie really think that no one would notice?_ _ _ "Socialism is an attack on poverty." - W. E. B.

The book is Runelords: The Sum of All Men, the first book in the Runelords fantasy series by David Farland. I am series captain for this eight book, (so far) series.It's actually a good book. Along with the conventional Fantasy elements, the author adds some imaginative ideas of his own and explores them in depth. The book also has greater moral complexity than a lot of Fantasy out there.But in my opinion, the writing could be better. Here is perhaps one of the best examples that might give some of you a chuckle:By evening the clouds blew out of the region altogether, and warmer air now suffused the night, almost as if it were any other afternoon in late summer.EvanTo unsubscribe from this list, send a blank Email to bookshare-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the Subject line.
