this person's cat also difficult to please

Sharples-n-Grant Playpost Cat Scratcher

1.0 out of 5 stars Too small for a cat.

ByEtruscan11on 22 Jan 2017

Too small! Alright for a kitten, but useless for a cat. A complete waste of money.

My cat wouldn't touch it. Awful.

Love Xanadu and LOVE Olivia Newton John!
ByS Sheparkon July 19, 2018
Format: Paperback
i've never read this book but I'm writing because this book was based on a song by Olivia Newton John that was also a movie and I LOVED the movie! It has a roller disco and fun songs and muses dressed in spandex of multiple colors. Very bright and flashy/

My sister used to sing the song using her hairbrush as a microphone when she was getting ready for school and blow drying her hair so it holds a very special meaning to me/

If you love Olivia Newton John and roller skating you will LOVE this

The film is known for its slow-to-develop action, but also for some memorable scenes. There are the apes at the beginning; Dave going through the star gate; and finally Dave finding himself in a room filled with French Provincial furniture. That happened to me once, not the star gate, but I was at a hotel in Aix-en-Provence not orbiting Jupiter. Interestingly, one set of star gate images was taken from Dr. Strangelove. If you have the patience, this is a great film.

A. F. Buczynski
5.0 out of 5 stars Volume 4 of the Complete Crepax (?)
19 August 2019 - Published on Amazon.com
Verified Purchase
I've been into Crepax for decades, but it was only recently, while reading some interviews with Alain Robbe-Grillet and subsequently watching Corrado Frarina's short "Freud a fumetti," that I determined that Guido Crepax had done quite a bit more than just adapt some literary erotica, the guy had literally invented a new form of semiotics in his comic language. Thus, I became a little obsessed with Crepax from an academic perspective. I alread owned all his erotic works with the exception of Bianca, but had only one short volume of Valentina publsihed by NBM, all of which I adore and find fascinating. I picked up the box set of the first two Crepax volumes from Amazon which arrived crushed and used, but Amazon customer service offered a partial refund if I kept the things, and I did. Reading these books I decided to lend support to the whole Fantagraphics effort and called the number inside of the first volume. I got in touch with some employee who seem amazed that I would call, infomed me that Kim Thompson was long dead, that Fantagraphics no longer offered a print catalog, and that Gary Groth was unavailable and generally should be considered as unavailable to speak with. I got in touch with the Crepax estate in Italy and had them send me the complete Valentina in Italian, I also spoke about licensing the entire works of Crepax myself inclusive of academic works that have been done regarding his work, including Barthes, Eco, Foucault, Deleuze, Ranciere, etc. Around this time the 3rd volume of the Complete Crepax hit my front door, from Amazon / Fantagraphics. I noticed a drop in quality - mostly printing issues, as well as some gaffes in the translation, and an needless dig by Tim Pilcher at Marvel comics and in particular Jim Steranko! I seriously don't know what to make of volume 4 of the Complete Crepax. Of the four volumes available it is the weakest. More printing problems, for sure, more translations that just don't add up, and a hefty amount of Russian just to confuse matters. For now I'll grant a five star award to this effort. I'm certainly have no intention of returning this book, indeed; I'm headed up to the physical Fantagraphics store very soon with this tome and a few other odds and sods to sort out some issues with this company who seem to be headed off the rails on a good deal of their projects.

This is sort of amusing, and maddening--it'd be really amusing if it weren't so maddening.

Someone posted a review of my "American Pie" review a week ago on amazon.ca:

1.0 out of 5 stars From heart warming to SHOCKING and GRAPHIC

Reviewed in Canada on May 27, 2023

America Pie is probably one of my ALL TIME favorite tracks, and I decided to give it a read.
While the illustrations are a bit pedestrian, I found the prose to be inspiring in many places.
---
Things quickly took a turn for the bizarre as the author graphically describes a triggering scene between a failed art student and his girlfriend. The scene involves the use of violent language, and something known as "pegging" in some circles.

I'd call it "readers whiplash" because the sudden escalation of violence, both physical and spoken, took me for a bit of a loop. It's most certainly NOT a book for the faint of heart.
---
I'd STRONGLY advise against reading this book if you are trigger by such things!

Typos intact...The weird thing is, there's no such scene in the book--no failed art student, no girlfriend, nothing. The book is about "American Pie"--other things, too, but mostly about "American Pie." I mean...do people ever write reviews on Amazon and halfway through forget what they're reviewing?

I've e-mailed two different branches of Amazon asking that the review be taken down. I also wrote a review myself, limiting what I wrote to countering the above review. Mine got taken down, the other one remains.

As I mentioned to a friend, I'm considering going on there and complaining about all the car crashes and gore in Finnegan's Wake.

"American Pie" book, that should read.

I like that the only other two reviews by "John Sneed" are of accessories for model building from Games Workshop. In particular, he notes that the Technical Texture Stirland Mud, "Looks like poop, but spreads like peanut butter."

As I said to a friend yesterday, it's probably some kid I kept in for recess 20 years ago. (Thankfully, the various Amazon domains don't overlap when it comes to customer reviews, so "John Sneed" is for Canadian eyes only.)
