I just re-read it. It's as good as I remember, or perhaps even better - I read it for the first time when I was twelve or so, and in translation. I missed a lot.

I love the movie. I didn't realize how much cussing was in it until I watched it a few years ago. Ah, the things my innocent little two-year-old ears were exposed to.

...... You are all girly men. *arnold impression*
Posted by Tinros (Member # 8328) on :
Actually, Advent, I'm a girly GIRL. So there. Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
Fine. Well KoM is still girly.

So, if a girly-man can beat you up with one hand tied behind his back, what does that say about you?
Posted by Zotto! (Member # 4689) on :
Whereas you are simply a powerhouse of sweatingly virile manhood.
Edit: Drat you, KoM, keep quite while I'm defending your honour.
Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
Hehehehe. Like I'm afraid of you KoM. I am a profesional fitness trainer in NM. I doubt I need to cower in fear of you. Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
:shrug: I got nothing to prove.
Posted by Zotto! (Member # 4689) on :
Sigh. Gentlemen, gentlemen, let's not have a row. We should, after all, be discussing unicorns.
I haven't read the book since I was in, like, second grade, but I really should get to a library and reread it. I probably didn't understand much of it the first time through.
Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
I have a question. Is Zotto like your girlfriend or something?
I'm not trying to be mean I'm just curious
Posted by Zotto! (Member # 4689) on :
Totally. Me and KoM make love like jungle monkeys all night long, which is a firm testement to the strength of our respective staminas. Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
No, my girlfriend logs in as Princesska.
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
Gosh darn it, Zotto, stop simul-posting with me!
Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
Oh. Well thats cool that you do something together like talk on Hatrack.
But it seems like Princesska may have competeition for your affections here on Hatrack. Posted by Zotto! (Member # 4689) on :
But...it's so much more fun that way!
Edit: this was actually in response to KoM's post, but it works here too.

*groans* Posted by Zotto! (Member # 4689) on :
Dude, I'm a straight male who lives across the largest ocean in the world from KoM. I doubt there's much incentive for romahhhnce. We're just joshin' ya, don't freak out. Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
Hmmmmm. Well I have read of stranger things happening here on Hatrack.
And I wasn't freakn out.
Posted by Zotto! (Member # 4689) on :
*grin* Alright.
My point is that talking about unicorns does not automatically make one a "girly man" (which is kind of a nebulously-defined and not particularly insulting concept anyway), which KoM's testosterone-laced "I can beat you up with one hand tied behind my back!" post proved rather nicely.
In any case, we've totally derailed the thread, which I feel kinda bad about. So. Go read the book, and we can all be bosom buddies.

Actually, it is a great book. I read the book after seeing the movie a million years ago, and loved the story.
And I am not a girly girl. My right hook will prove that. Posted by Reticulum (Member # 8776) on :
My, my, how interesting this thread has become.
Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
Yes, yes it has.....
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Unicorns are dangerous, not sweet and girly. Didn't any of you ever read the story about "The Valiant Tailor"?
Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :
The Last Unicorn is a good read. I read it when I was a kid, and then re-read it again as an adult.
I can't say which time I enjoyed it more. The second time I read it, I think the sadness of the Prince's plight, and the futility that the unicorn felt looking for the rest of her kind, affected me much more.
The cat's line, to the effect that, "If I were to touch her, I would be lost," resonates very strongly with me. Not sure why.
Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :
Oh, KoM-- check out 'Folk of the Air,' also by Peter S. Beagle.
Not nearly so good as Unicorn, but not terrible. It's kind of an odd mix of fantasy and magical realism.

I loved the cartoon movie as a kid, I used to watch it all the time.
I still think Red Bull should use the bull from the cartoon as a mascot.

Well KoM is still girly.
