Lemme, you threw me a major flashback on this one. It's based on a book called "The Boy Who Could Make Himself Disappear" by Kin Platt. Baxter's first name is "Roger" and he can't pronounce R's. I seem to recall he memorized every R word in the dictionary.
My family befriended Kin Platt when my mother started attending writing workshops. He wrote many books for young adults but, well, he essentially didn't want to become addicted to our warmth and wrote a true "writers letter" to us explaining this. I think his books may have reflected some real trauma and even late in life he didn't want to let his guard down. This gave his writing for youth a real authenticity. I wish I'd kept up a correspondence.
Having said all that, I stumbled over a wonderful blog read about someone who did, for a time, correspond with him and it completely lines up with our experience.
Thanks for bringing back memories.
Glad I brought back memories and thanks for the link. I enjoyed the entry. |

For Life of Pi, I thought of the first one and had to follow it up with a tribute to Randall's review for the one that describes.
I have to point out Salopian's FWFR's on this film - I've voted for the top five of his. Pi, Seas, Dead People is kind of obligatory, and I just caught "Animals don't eat Pi". Bonus points... Pi doesn't eat animals.
Hey, thanks.
I love the latter of yours mentioned above, which I saw before the other one (which I may yet vote for too ), and gave it its first vote. I'm really fond of tributes to other reviews. The other two that I've just voted for are great too. (I don't think I get the remaining one.)
Thanks!
Not sure which you mean. But Parker Brothers is a game company. If it's the one voter (as of now), the family brings their zoo aboard a ship that sinks. If someone has "bought the farm" they have not survived. Circumfluence can mean "surrounded by water." |

Dirty Dancing takes place at a summer resort. It has an exaggeratedly theatrical and stupid plot, in my opinion.
5/5
