In the Trailer Park: Big Monsters, Big Ships, and Big Cats

Today’s Trailer Park holds a wildly diverse cornucopia of enticements. There’s no common theme amongst these three titles, I just enjoyed the trailers. Hope you do too.

First up, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, by Seth Grahame-Smith and (natch) Jane Austen. This one has been getting a lot of press, and it looks hysterical. I shamefully admit I’ve never read Pride and Prejudice, but I might be tempted now. Zombies make everything better!

Next we have Titanic: The Untold Story by W. Mae Kent. Since Hollywood thought it had made the quintessential Titanny project, I was happy to see someone else look at it from a different angle. This version focuses on some lesser-known passengers, including the ship’s only African-American.

Finally, we have A Lion Called Christian: The True Story of the Remarkable Bond between Two Friends and a Lion by Anthony “Ace” Bourke and John Rendall. This book tells the story of two friends who purchased a lion–yes, a lion–at Harrod’s in the 1960s, and their adventures with the big lovable cat. Now, a word of warning: this trailer had me on the floor in a puddle of tears. This, my friends, will move you. Never doubt the humanity of animals.

    Another ‘different’ Titanic book is Connie Willis’s ‘Passage’, which I think is my favourite of hers. Many interesting smaller details. And, of course, she has a few uncomplimentary things to say about the Movie.

    Strange this post is totaly unrelated to what I was searching google for, but it was listed on the first page. I guess your doing something right if Google likes you enough to put you on the first page of a non related search. :)

    Hey, i’m mostly an avid reader of magazines but every now and then I like to sit by my desktop and browse some quality blogs for interesting information. Thank you for making my sandwich and cup of coffee more pleasant!

    @Markus I get your drift on where you were going there. I often think of my past and use it as a means to analyze where I am and where I want to get to. Where I struggel is balancing it all out. How do you guys balance things out?

Comment away, my little snarkie-pies. But please play nicely. Poopy-pants comments (spam, hate speech) will be flushed down the shitter.







      WHAT IS A SNARK?




      The Snark is a creature created by Lewis Carroll in his poem "The Hunting of the Snark". To give a proper description of Snarks, one must look no further than Carroll himself, who summed them up in one word: Unimaginable.

      But this much we do know: some have feathers, some have whiskers. Snarks sleep a lot, yet they are an ambitious lot -- with very little sense of humor. They love bathing-machines and tend to bring them wherever they go; they are also handy for striking a light. Snarks live on a far-off island, a place filled with chasms and crags, and are constantly on the lookout for Snark-hunters. Their mortal enemies are hope, care, thimbles and forks.
