I'm overweight, I'll admit that freely and I'll even go a step further to say that I currently weight 265lbs. Very unhealthy I know and I'm doing my best of what I can to lose it, the safe way. Why is it, that so many women are...

BethanyTheMartian The real problem is that there is no magic wand, no secret to losing weight. People want to lose weight, but they also keep picking up McDonalds because they don't feel like cooking. I admit that I'm as guilty of this as anybody else. You have to eat better...

Does anyone here have any good ideas for reading material? I'm pretty much clueless right now. I'll take any suggestions you have..i don't have good resources where i can ask for some real good books..but i will purchase some...

good books

BethanyTheMartian That really depends on what you like to read, honestly. I recommend Stephen King- if you don't like horror, try The Green Mile. If you like horror (or think you like horror) give a shot to The Stand, Carrie, or The Shining. If you read Stephen King but you...

BethanyTheMartian When I went to New Orleans, I ran into a palm reader who started talking with me and my friend (who read palms as a party trick). He told her that you just had to learn how to read people, not palms. Translation? It's cold reading, people telling you what...

What are your Stephen King favorites? Favorite novel? Favorite novella? Favorite short story? Favorite movie based on one of King's works? Favorite work as Richard Bachman? My favorite novel is a toss up between The...

BethanyTheMartian I have seen the mini-series that they did, and I liked it okay. But, to be honest, books don't translate to film as well as something written specifically for film. It's sometimes better to change a story and make a better movie than keep it the same and make...

There are a lot of stories out there, and it's easy for stories/books to be similar in a variety of ways. My question is this: I'm working on a fictional story, and would like to use a certain title. I found out that this title...

BethanyTheMartian That really depends on the title. There are these two movies, both go by the name The Order. I'm sure there are many movie and book titles that start with the name The Order. If you're talking about a general title like The Lot, The Order, The Monk, the Nun...

BethanyTheMartian I believe that a lot of people who are 'right-handed' (that is, who write with their right hand) are actually left-handed. We didn't know it at the time, but when my brother was in grade school he wanted to use his left hand. He was not allowed to use his left...

I haven't read 1408, but I have listened to it as a "book on tape" one night while driving up to a remote part of New Hampshire. I'm not embarassed to admit that that story really freaked me out! Which is great! However I'm not...

BethanyTheMartian I'm planning on seeing it, even though I'm sure it will be nothing like the short story. The problem with taking a short story (which can be anywhere from 5 to 30 pages long, normally) and turning it into a movie is that you have to add a lot of information...

BethanyTheMartian 1408 is in Stephen King's Everything's Eventual, which is (as far as i know) the most recent short story collection that he has released. I really liked 1408, although it wasn't my favorite (my favorite was the title story, Everything's Eventual). I think...

BethanyTheMartian My favorite Stephen King novel is... gosh, that's hard, but i think Carrie. I re-read it the most often (I was almost her, but by luck I'm really likeable. Still, I feel her pain.) My favorite short story is definitely Everything's Eventual which can be...

One of my favorite hobbies it to pick out the worst scary movies and watch them- I recently treated myself to Motor Home Massacre, which was the worst I've seen. It's fun because a: sometimes you find really funny bad movies and...

BethanyTheMartian I really disliked Saw 3, which made me sad, because I really liked Saw. Saw is among my favorite suspence movies, and Saw 3 was a terrible disappointment. Where Saw was trying to minimize violence (a little) and make the point more about how the two men...

BethanyTheMartian I watch the show for the same reason (I assume) that many other people watch it- it's very entertaining. The hosts are charismatic, and they have an 'old married couple' syndrom (by that I mean that they've known each other-professionally-for a long time...

BethanyTheMartian The problem with making a sequel to the Titanic is that it is a romantic movie set in a historical setting. Making a sequel in the real sense- a second movie following the story and the plot line of the first- would undoubtedly be viewed by anybody as nothing...
