You know what I can't like about Harry Potter or better yet why I really don't like about Harry Potter? The fact that it takes place in modern times. I mean these mother fuckers are fighting wizards and witches and shit with lightning bolts and shit, but your a wizard, can't you just whip up a motha fuckin' AK and unload on the forces of Evil?

Give it a rest, ahly. You hadn't even heard of The Sound of Music.

Yeah I did. I watched the movie about 8 years ago. I just got stuck on the quiz.

What's defensive about asking you to explain what you meant?

I seem to recall you calling me your "precious fanboy," which is on one level a complete twisting of the truth, and on another level a subtle jibe trying to turn the table on me.

A counter attack, if you will.

I called you a fanboy, because you seem particularly interested in me and my actions.

You're just mad that ET is more iconic.

Probably because I see you as a symbol of society's moral decadence.

Ah, fuck me. This shit again. As I said before, give it a rest. You had plenty of chances to prove your worth on the Sporcle ones and you got lower than me on all of them.

I see what you're getting at, but it's really nothing new. There's a book that pretty much explains the formulas for everything single story ever basically, but I don't remember the name. Humans have been using the same story-telling techniques from the dawn of time.

I never claimed I know more than you on movies though.

Then why'd you bring up the results of that shit PRICKs quiz?

Too early to have just woken up, too late to announce yourself so readily. So tell me Danny what are your motives behind popping in to say hello at this late hour?

Just a friendly dig. It was a moral victory for me.

From The Epic of Gilgemesh to Jaws and Schindler's List, Christopher Booker examines in detail the stories that underlie literature and the plots that are basic to story telling through the ages. In this magisterial work he examines the plots of films, opera libretti and the contemporary novel and short story. Underlying the stories he examines are Seven Basic Plots: rags to riches; the quest; voyage and return; the hero as monster; rebirth and so on. Booker shows that the images and stories serve a far deeper and more significant purpose in our lives than we have realised. In the definition of these basic plots, Booker shows us we are entering a realm in which the recognition of the plots proves only to be the gateway. We are in fact uncovering a kind of hidden universal language: a nucleus of situations and figures which are the very stuff from which stories are made. With Booker's exploration, there is literally no story in the world which cannot be seen in a new light: we have come to the heart of what stories are about and why we tell them. Here, Christopher Booker moves on from some of the themes he outlined in his hugely bestselling book The Neophiliacs. Seven Basic Plots is unquestionably his most important book to date.

It's not like I was being incredibly serious either. It's all part of the top lad banter that we all love.
