#2 jubba-maestro Feb 17, 2010 17:06:42	I actually thought the book was a tough read, but it was pretty interesting.
#3 grumpycelt Feb 17, 2010 17:40:27	I don't think I've ever even heard of it, unless you are talking about the Anima flick tie in with a video game.
#4 ian.thomson Feb 17, 2010 17:42:24	The advertisement for Dante's Inferno Anime made me nerd rage (and I actually want to see Beakman's version).  If they called it something else, I'd definately geek out over it without having seen it.  But yeah, I nerd raged.  Then again, I'm an English major focused on literature (granted, I just got a B+ on a paper arguing Romeo and Juliet is a comedy, but I didn't argue a completly different plot, just a different interpretation).

Only when you get a B+ on a paper comparing and contrasting two books you've never even read will you truly become a master of bull****, Grasshopper.

No, that was the Postmodernism class I took last semester.

I don't know how you wrote it, but the topic alone I wouldn't deserve the grade. Anyway, has anyone here seen this Inferno production? *Despite neither having a target, nor being a Barbarian, Ian.Thomson enters the dreaded Nerd Rage, gaining an additional 2d6 to damage for his At-Will power Complain.  Ian leaves the thread and opens his Wikipedia tab to look for targets.*
#9 grumpycelt Feb 18, 2010 21:06:15	I don't know how you wrote it, but the topic alone I wouldn't deserve the grade. No pun intended, but as a literature professor, he was a very by the book type. If the text book reads that "Medea is a drama, though a violent and problematic one," then Medea is a drama, though a violent and problematic one. Admittedly, poor grammar on my part contributed to the poor grade. Though I still think the idea has merit. He also disagreed with my assessment that Moore’s Utopia was written at least partly as a satire.

I might rent the animated one when it pops up on NetFlix.
