    Apparently Terry Gilliam was Rowling's first choice to direct the first Harry Potter movie.

    Now that would have been something.

    Yes, the dog thread starts badly and then goes downhill from there.

    I'm about to back away from it. I grew up with at least two dogs in our house all the time, and I'm honestly surprised at how hard of a time people have at understanding dogs as property that can do damage to other people.

    Clearly you're insane, Doc. Momentary misjudgements should be punishable by disfigurement and general mockery.

    I just looked at Moss' website. I find it amazing that somebody on these boards has designed stuff which I've seen in the wider world (threadless t-shirts, illustrations for newspapers and the like)

    Well, yes. People will more likely go to a 'sure bet', like a sequel or a movie connected to a property they are already familiar with, than a completely original work.

    That's how these things work.

    Yeah but there's a bit more. Themes involving nature and/or a kind of sad beauty called 'wabisabi' in Japanese are common.

    Of course, you can say that theme is separate, and have war-sonnets and love-villanelles or whatever. But I think the verse suffers if you do.
