He didn’t age more rapidly, he just stopped dying his hair.

When he was afraid of aging he covered his grey.

When he became more accepting of aging, he stopped covering the grey.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

There was so much hype, a movie, etc… so I cracked it open and dove in… then it was just a “men writing women” manic pixie dream girl rape-fetish piece.

Gross.

Plus… the thing about accents… is that when you have one, you might not be able to hear it in others.

It just sounds like regular talking to you.

So, OP might talk almost exactly like Ted and just can’t hear their own accent :p

I live in Texas and I don’t hear my own accent- I think I talk the same as everyone else, but then I’ll get gently chided or mercilessly roasted for it by my online friends from the west coast when we voice/video chat :p

I don’t hear it… but they sure do.

Now, the lamb chugs a Cafka mini and poof, turns into a smoking hot lion.

tldr; Hitchhiker’s Guide. Book or movie- doesn’t matter, I hate it. Garbage. ;p

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

…. because I hate the scathingly pessimistic, cynical attitude towards everything.

It’s so r/im14andthisisdeep … it tries so hard to be as edgy and “WOW DID YOU EVER NOTICE HOW STUPID EVERY ONE ELSE IN THE UNIVERSE IS?! THE HORROR!!!” as possible… makes me cringe. Yeah, yeah, people are dumb and life is completely horrifying. Wow, so deep.

Yawn.

Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency?

Loved it.

I also enjoyed The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul… even tho they were also written in Douglas’s usual tone of sarcastic, British humor.

They’re not quite as obnoxious as HGTTG, though… or as popular. I think the popularity- peoples’ penchant for rallying behind the toxic attitude/perspective of the book- that gets my goat, too.
