what about the count of monte cristo?

hoodiowithtudio: what about the count of monte cristo?

Damn, beat me to it. What about the other 3 novellas in "Four Seasons"?

hoodiowithtudio: what about the count of monte cristo?

File it under educational.

What about Prison Break season 1 DVD boxset?

What about the "Prison Break" DVD set?

Holy simulpost.

Do you suppose they segregate the prisoners into those that have read "Shawshank" and those that haven't?

TownDrunk: Holy simulpost.

That's freaky.

Marcus Aurelius: Do you suppose they segregate the prisoners into those that have read "Shawshank" and those that haven't?

The ones that have read it have already got out.

Fight Club?

American History X?

Exodus?

hoodiowithtudio

It's Crisco, you dumbshat.

believe it or not, a lot of prisons in Tx move offenders to different cells every few months so that no one has time to mess with the walls or doors.

/the more you know ....

moops: American History X?

You know, I've heard that's a really good movie. Will I be able to follow it if I haven't seen the first nine?

I_Can't_Believe_it's_not_Boutros: You know, I've heard that's a really good movie. Will I be able to follow it if I haven't seen the first nine?

I would guess it would be difficult to follow. I had the same problem with Malcolm X - I missed Malcolm IX.

FTA:

"I'm looking at a scraggly man who hasn't shaved for days, doesn't have his teeth in and he wants a book on fractional geometry," said Elgosin. "You ask him some questions and you find out he knows what he's talking about. I'm consistently surprised."

Obviously this lady hasn't met many college professors or academics in general.

Reminds me of Fark.

que?

Where is that from? If this is a rotsky, I have to stock the damn book at Borders and it is a biatch sometimes because it is so big, though the holiday season is over, so we shall see how well it fits now...

Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption is a fairly graphic and powerful story, which deals with far more issues than just escape. It goes into length about despair, hope, loneliness and loss of humanity in a cage. The book was much different than the movie. I hope they actually read it instead of just labelling it with the escape theme.

Go, Heywood! :-)

Go, Heywood! :-)
I desperately want his last name to be jablome

"They say this is hands-down the best library in the system. There is no limit to what you have to read in here."

Apparently there is.

You did notice that the bolded themes were actually in the movie, right? If they had been any more visible, you could have seen them from space.

Subtle it was not (though it was still a great movie).

Marcus Aurelius: Do you suppose they segregate the prisoners into those that have read "Shawshank" and those that haven't?

And the ones who saw the movie? And what if some saw the movie and read the book. Shoot, that's four groups. I hope there weren't Cliff's Notes.

Yeah, but the atmosphere and feeling of the book was what gave those themes their ability to grip us the way they do. I found the book was far more powerful than the movie. Stand by Me/ The Body was the same as well. As good as the movie was, the book was on a totally different level.

prisoner of zenda?

I'll buy that about 'The Body'; I haven't read 'Shawshank', though.

Since you liked the movie, I'd also imagine you'd get alot out of the book. I hope you get a chance to read it.

hoodiowithtudio: If this is a rotsky

That's no rotsky, that's a reference to Shawshank Redemption.

The inmates were setting up their library and one of them, holding the aforementioned book went "Count of Monte Crisco" only to be put down by another "It's Cristo you dumb-shiat".

Hope this helps.

Oh, and another poster's line of "file it under educational" is from Shawshank Redemption as well, if I recall correctly.

How about Midnight Express?

/Timmy, you ever spend time in a Turkish prison?

i think the only films prisoners can watch should be straight-to-video Disney animated releases...

helloooo Fox and Hound 2, boys...enjoy!!

No you can't read Shawshank, in other words "what we have here is a failure to communicate".

GIS for 'harry potter fans'.
What is this world coming to?

Seriously, why bother censoring "Shawshank Redemption"? Digging a hole in the wall and crawling out a sewer pipe isn't exactly rocket science. If you need to use that book as an FAQ you're not smart enough to pull it off.

What about...?

Brooks was here

No DVDs. They break them and turn them into shivs. They ought to read books about prison conditions in the 18th and 19th centuries.
////shiv!!!
//slashy shiv-making Librarian

Apparently other jails must not be as careful about what they let the inmates read, 'cause these two took a page right out of Shawshank.

empres77: Brooks was here

So was Red.

How about not censoring prison libraries?

Archie Goodwin: hoodiowithtudio: what about the count of monte cristo?

Al-ex-an-der... Dumbass. Says right here.

richardi: empres77: Brooks was here

My good friend Andy Dufrense once told me about his plan for what he'd stick in the library.

That very night, the bull queers got ahold of him and showed him what they'd like to stick in.

It was the longest night of his life.

Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'.

Oh, Andy!

/FTFY

Whoops! Blazemonger, didn't see your post.

this makes me happy

I don't why they're more worried about a book about a guy who dug a hole in his cell than one about an unregistered Animagus! Gimme a break
