rushthatspeaks is my anti-reader. An anti-reader is a person who likes the same kind of books you do, but whose tastes are the reverse of your own. What works for them, the things they love, leave you unmoved or worse, blankly uncomprehending. With luck, what they hate will be your cup of tea, but that's a much less likely criterion to meet.
I suspected the anti-reader-dom when Rush listed her favourite Pratchetts at one point, all of which are minor and indifferent works by me. And now here she is talking about Bellairs' The Face in the Frost.( Cut for duelling quotes )
Otherwise saw The Illusionist today. Having never seen a Tati film, I have now seen a Tati anime. Very beautiful in the visuals department but not at all what I'd have expected from the guy who did Triplets of Belleville. And while Belleville did give me the fantods, I missed some of that gung-ho attitude from this sweet and melancholy effort. Once again, should have googled first. There's virtually no dialogue, and the print was dark so I may have missed something, but I wonder where the reviewer got the idea that 'Alice believes the downtrodden performer possesses genuine supernatural powers.' Also had her pegged as an innocent gold-digger, not a naive girl looking for a father figure.
