Byzantine Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Byz? what you think of the good Doctor's idea? I'm counting the Summa as 'light summer reading in progress', but for Cowboys and Aliens, I'd think the Doctor gotta cough up the paper script or an on-line version (or at least give us some page numbers for goodness sake!) (or a novel version.... or an audiobook) or it won't work.... at least that would be MY call on this one.... call me grumpy. :brutebeast: But Byz is the Supreme Court around here.... AL's ruling is sustained by the Supreme Court of Byz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Bombay Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Ah. I am interpreting this to mean that movies do in fact count, if we can dredge up a print version on Amazon. Excellent. Cartermia, prepare to fall to second place. Nobody reads movies better than I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 You gotta watch/read 'em, Dr. B. And you have your 'light summa reading' on the plate as well. So figure you can only get in a few a day (read-watching) even if you choose the movie route..... But I gotta give you credit for determination..... But SERIOUSLY, going after CarterMia????? She might try the same thing. You are teaching her BAD THINGS, Dr. B!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Bombay Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Huh. Would you look at this? It seems there is a novelization: http://www.amazon.com/Cowboys-Aliens-Joan-D-Vinge/dp/0765368269/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1372979642&sr=1-1&keywords=cowboys+and+aliens As well as a comic book: http://www.amazon.com/Cowboys-Aliens-Scott-Mitchell-Rosenberg/dp/B006OHW4I4/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1372979642&sr=1-2&keywords=cowboys+and+aliens And a Kindle edition that has nothing to do with either of the previous: http://www.amazon.com/Cowboys-Aliens-ebook/dp/B009M9SODK/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1372979642&sr=1-4&keywords=cowboys+and+aliens I'm a much better reader than I ever dreamed....

AnneLine Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 pick one.... (1) and you can count it unless byz disagrees.... (of course you can count the one with most pages, I'm just, really....) And amazed at your inventiveness. Amazon truly is a river.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Bombay Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Amazon truly is a river.... Indeed. Like the one that flows through Cleveland, it is smelly and polluted and often catches fire and is so far removed from its original purpose that no one can even tell you what it was anymore. I'm good with metaphors too. Or was that an analogy? <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Yus. :) You're also phun to have around, much as you may want us to deny it. :hug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Bombay Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Yus. :) You're also phun to have around, much as you may want us to deny it. :hug: Perhaps. Although I suspect some of you people would like to strike me in the face with a closed fist, especially if we are discussing Harry Potter. Speaking of which, I move we exclude the entire Potter series and all its incarnations from this contest. Unless satanic Illuminati propaganda is appropriate reading for good Catholics? I think we all know the answer to that one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 This I defer to Byz. I tend to not like to ban books... just funny that way..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Bombay Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 This I defer to Byz. I tend to not like to ban books... just funny that way..... Some books should be banned. And burned. But I was kidding in this case. This is a competition for adults so no point in forbidding Harry Potter. QED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 If a movie has had several remakes over the years, can we count those as multipliers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
