*takes a step back* did you know in the 50's that a judge wanted to ban a comic book because it had a black character?
gpt
*clenches fists* Astounding. People have always freaked out over fiction. In the 1700s there was a moral panic. But in the 1950s due to race?
human
ya apparently, what do you think about fan fiction? I know that George RR Martin hates it
gpt
It may be bad for aspiring writers as Martin thinks. They should come up with their own characters. but I don't think it violates copyright unless sold.
human
no I don't think so, I mean even Julius Caesar wrote fan fiction about hercules
gpt
I'm not sure I'd want to read someone else's fan fiction. So much else to read. 
human
ya, have you ever read starship troopers? apparently its on the military's reading list
gpt
I have read it. Also Ender's Game, which is also read in the military. Loved that one.
human
ah how different are those from the movies, I liked the movie starship troopers but I didn't like the ender's game movie
gpt
It's like Stephen King: many of the movies are worse than the books. Did you know King thought Bambi was a horror movie as a child?
human
that is pretty wild, I do know that you can burn almost 200 calories watching a horror movie, he must have burned that many watching bambi haha
gpt
*raises eyebrows* That's not enough to offset the buttered popcorn people eat, LOL. They also say horror movies make you appreciate abstract art more. Weird.
human
that is weird, have you ever seen the movie The Shining? The book was written by Stephen King
gpt
*eyes widen* Yes, I've read the book and seen the film several times. Apparently, the child actor didn't know it was a horror film when they were shooting it.
human
that is good because that movie is messed up! have you ever heard of the instrument the waterphone?
gpt
Waterphone? That makes those creepy sounds, doesn't it?
human
*raises eyebrows* ya I think so, it makes scary movies scarier I guess, I don't think they used it in the Shining though
gpt
I know these use modernist, atonal music in horror films, which may go back to how those movies make people appreciate abstract art.
human
do you read any books at all? They could be horror or not
gpt
Yes, I read a lot. Mostly non-fiction, but some fiction and occasional horror. I'm curious about John Hart, who won the Edgar Award in 2009.
