When she dared glance his way, she found him idly pushing at the cuticles of his nails, like a cat grooming his paws. “That was kind of you,” she said at last. She tried to think of something to say, and she could feel Eanrin watching her, could sense him also trying and failing to come up with a fitting word. Imraldera stood awhile watching the place where Nidawi had disappeared into the Wood. They simply could not shine as they might wish to without their mother’s presence. But Imraldera could still feel them and hear them around her, as bright and lively as ever. And when she went, the colored glows of her people winked out, one by one. So Nidawi left, the cub gamboling at her heels. A fitting companion for the Everblooming, Imraldera thought, backing away again. Then, though she hesitated, she reached out and stroked the lion cub’s ears, which were so soft as to be irresistible, even though he always tried to bite in response. When I have found a home for my children, I will return.” “I have many Paths to explore, and Lion here will keep me company. The cub climbed up onto her shoulder and chewed on her ear. Nidawi, pleased, smiled at them and melted into the form of a girl just on the brink of womanhood, neither child nor adult but something in between. The Haven would be a lonely spot no more.Ī few lights remained hovering around Imraldera’s shoulders and the top of her head.

One man has terrible rubber boils over his face and his hand looks like a dinosaur stump. Yet, the effects on "Thinner" are almost as bad as the fat effects. That's what made David Cronenberg's "The Fly" so amazing. A film like "Thinner" relies on the make-up effects. The special make-up effects are very special indeed. Even when he's eventually thin, he still wears those awful eyes and smile. He looked like "The Joker" out of "Batman". The man's facial expressions also had me rolling down the aisles (well, 'the sitting room') in every shot his eyes were wide and gleaming like he's just seen a massive slice of cake! His smile was also hideous. You only have to look at the man and laugh at those incredible hamster-type cheeks! The fat suit is hilariously bad, not a patch on the one that Eddie Murphey wears in "The Nutty Professor". There's no denying that "Thinner" (unintentially or not) is a very funny film. I pretty much laughed all the way through. Thankfully I was relieved when I turned it on and the first thing I saw was this clearly slim man in a ridiculous fat suit and I laughed. You know, a man slowly getting thinner and thinner, and then of course it's Stephen King which is never a bad thing, and then it had 4 stars and so i thought that this film could have potential! But then I look at IMDb's rating and it's very below average so I was wary. Firstly when I saw it in the "What's On TV" magazine I thought of it as a serious horror film, that sounded quite eerie. I didn't know what to expect from "Thinner". If you can’t find a guide for the book your club is reading, we’ve put together this helpful list of book club questions.
