Question: Do you think there’s a maximum “shelf life” for cult films?
Maybe it’s just the people I hang around with, but it seems like the appeal of some films – “Fight Club” and the “Big Lebowski” come to mind – are tailing off. “Pulp Fiction” still seems to get watched (and sometimes even “Army of Darkness.”)
And is anybody still doing the Time Warp?

Question: Is life stranger than fiction? What do people really mean when they say “life is stranger than fiction”?
Answer:
Answer by Nikki M
fictional writing is made up stories right. It’s like watching a soap opera (which is fictional) and going “omg that never happens wtf?” So when something like that does happen in real life people usually say “well life is stranger than fiction”

Word History: To most people “the latest fiction” means the latest novels or stories rather than the most recently invented pretense or latest lie. All three senses of the word fiction point back to its source, Latin ficti, “the action of shaping, a feigning, that which is feigned.” Ficti in turn was derived from fingere, “to make by shaping, feign, make up or invent a story or excuse.” Our first instance of fiction, recorded in a work composed around 1412, was used in the sense “invention of the mind, that which is imaginatively invented.” It is not a far step from this meaning to the sense “imaginative literature,” first recorded in 1599.

Question by Damn Pocket Protector: If you wrote a “non-fiction” book that dealt with a “life experience” topic…What would you write about?
(Would it be “psychological/down to Earth family stuff? Or would it be “mind-expansive philosophical” stuff?)
Or maybe even a combination of both…but “What” would you focus on…what would be your “theme?” What would be your “message to the world?”

I’d write about telepathy, but I doubt many would buy the book.
Maybe I’d write after being cured.

Likewise, don’t say anything by Ann Coulter just because her books are inflammatory to liberals.
