Because Reading is almost Obsolete
Friday, August 28, 2009 at 03:03PM First off, lets mention that Reading Rainbow if officially ending its run on teaching children the importance of reading. I get that they are putting more money into teach children how to read, but I don't think that is simply enough. Congrats, you can read, but if at a young age you aren't taught the enjoyment of how great it is to get sucked into a book (not like in Neverending Story,) but where you sit for hours on end and don't even notice your surroundings because you are so enthralled. If, and this is coming from a filmmaker, if you only watch movies, and don't read books, you are an idiot. I can put that only so nicely. You may be a nice idiot, maybe even a smart idiot. But f'ing read already. It's great, it's fun, it's educational, and gosh darn it, you have no reason not to.
That being said, here is the link for the Apple Exclusive trailer for "The Men Who Stare At Goats." It looks fun and entertaining. And if you want to read the book, written by Jon Ronson, you can't because it is currently out of print. It looks like they will be re-releasing the book, with the upcoming movie sure to be a hit, they might as well. Who wants to be the cover is the same as the poster?
Currently Reading: Last Night of the Earth Poems, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
