2008-04-18 [windowframe]: Oi, I don't drive either. Urgh, Poe. -.- Lovecraft ftw. and Viggo is too sexy to play that sallow, deluded man.

2008-04-18 [Duke Devlin]: XD
I know nothing really of Mr Edgar. XD

2008-04-18 [Linn Scarlett]: *nod nod* I agree on that point silvie, I fear Poe shall have a sexyness that overrides the historical character's gloomyness. Then again, I have seen Viggo play depressed roles like that, and it made me cry. Because he has puppy eyes, and they go all watery when he's sad and its horrid *sniffles*

2008-04-18 [windowframe]: He thought his poetry was better than his prose. It's not. It's really, really not. He thought he could write stuff other that macabre stories. He couldn't, he really, really couldn't.

2008-04-18 [Linn Scarlett]: I have is collected work, I sort of like the stories, actually. Well some of them anyway. And I like the poem about the raven, I so wanna hear Viggo say "quoth the raven, never more"

2008-04-18 [windowframe]: :P I read everything of his bar a few letters. And I do like macabre short stories - The Fall of the House of Usher, the Masque of the Red Death, Lilgeia, Berenice, Eleonora and Morella were all enjoyable. But when he starts writing about gardens... God so help me I will build a time machine and prevent him from writing those.

2008-04-18 [Duke Devlin]: The Raven is the only one of his poems that I have ever heard of, I believe. And I think that is more due to it's popularity - and generally people's lack of knowledge for his others. :P And I dislike it to be honest.

2008-04-18 [Linn Scarlett]: Oh yes, but you should read ooohhh whats its name *thumbs* 'the murders in the Rue Morgue' and the 'tell-tale heart' i liked those :) And viggo has the perfect recite-voice. I hope he gets some dramatic monologue *feigns fainting*

2008-04-18 [windowframe]: The Allan Parson's Project Album based around Poe is worth a listen (in my opinion). Has songs based around The Raven, the Fall of the House of Usher,The system of Doctor Tarr and Professor Feather, The Cask of Amontillado and another poem the name of which escapes me at the moment, but the well-known line from it is "all that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream". And it's called *drum-roll* 'Dream within a Dream". :D The album itself is called "Tales of Mystery and Imagination"

2008-04-18 [Linn Scarlett]: isn't that A Dream within a Dream?

2008-04-18 [Linn Scarlett]: Oh wait, you said so *needs to learn to read first and type later*

2008-04-18 [Duke Devlin]: .. She added that bit after I think. :O

2008-04-18 [windowframe]: Yeah, I did. Went and did a quick check. Sorry, I'm a bit of a comment-edit whore. :P

2008-04-18 [Duke Devlin]: Hehe sly. :)
I do the same thing. :P

2008-04-18 [Linn Scarlett]: Hm very sly indeed :O

2008-04-18 [windowframe]: :O I don't see you having voted on 30 Books! Go vote. :D

2008-04-18 [Linn Scarlett]: whadddidadoooo?

2008-04-18 [Delladreing]: Poe = over excagerated. The only reason a lot of youngins know about him is because of the Simpsons halloween special episode that depicted the Crow.

2008-04-18 [Duke Devlin]: I have. *proud* :O
Exactly. I agree with that, but my knowledge wasn't due to the Simpsons. :) Just.. Wait I don't even know. D:

2008-04-18 [Delladreing]: Just general knowledge really :p
But yah, most of them probably never even heard of it till Homer Simpson was tormented by Bart crowing "Never more never more!"

2008-04-18 [Duke Devlin]: Ahh very true, and very likely. -___-
