I have a question

[thisisbone]

What do you wish you could see or read for the first time again?

I ask because we're watching Arrow, and I already wish I could see the first season for the first time again, even though I have all the S2 eps saved up to watch. I've developed a deep well of affection for Ollie, Diggle, and Felicity, and I wish I could watch it all unfold again

Hee! I'd put Sports Night on there too. Such delight. We laughed ourselves silly. :)

I wish I could hear Gershwin's Concerto in F again for the first time.
Or maybe Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here.
I wish I could read Asimov's Foundation Series again for the first time. Maybe some of Norman Spinrad as well, like Child of Fortune (one of my favorite SF books that I can't get anyone to read LOL)
Or maybe The Screwtape Letters and Letters to the Earth.

:)

Okay, I'll bite. What are the Screwtape Letters?

[azewewish]

Oh man, what a great question. Okay, here goes:

The Harry Potter series (books)

Friday Night Lights (TV)

The Matrix (movies)

The Lord of the Rings (movies and books)

FNL! Love of my life...

due South. Perpetually.

Maybe Dead Like Me. I can't really think of much else. Marvel's The Avengers! The first season of POI.

But mostly due South. :)

Oh, yay! I have the first season of POI to watch for the first time!

We never watched Dead Like Me. I have it confused with Joan of Arcadia, maybe? Do they star the same person? Could my 12-year-old watch it?

JoA has Amber Tamblin, a good reason to watch it actually, while DLM has Ellen Muth. Here's the Parents' Guide to it.

TBH, I don't remember the graphic deaths, and I'm pretty squeamish, but I've seen a lot more tv/movies than your daughter has. POI has a fair and reasonable amount of violence, too.

If you want something Apple might like, too, have you seen Wonderfalls? That's pretty kid friendly. Another show I loved that was pretty kid friendly was Bruce Campbell's The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. It was too quirky for its time and it passed almost unnoticed, but I loved it! Also, have you ever seen The Middleman? Hilarious, with a hero who reminds me a lot of Fraser. :)

She *adored* both Brisco County and The Middleman, and was seriously torqued that there weren't more episodes of both!

She imprinted on Brisco's wry humor like a duck, and she thought the outlandishness of The Middleman was the bomb. I think it set her up nicely for her current Dr. Who love. :)

I think today we're going to watch Oceans 11...

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchet.

[thisisbone]

I've never read it!

[reginagiraffe]

Oh! *is jealous*

It's a comedy about the apocalypse (with footnotes)! You *have* to read it! It's brilliant!

[thisisbone]

Ahhh. That explains it! I am, generally speaking, not a fan of apocalyptic stuff - movies, tv, or books!
