Very Sad but a very good movie.

“The Martian Child”

[AZ .44 MAG]

Is he staying at Jubal Harshaw’s place?

[tbw2]

What movie is that from?

[mnehring]

he’s brilliant and has an extraordinary imagination..nothing more, nothing less..

His imagination may be some sort of coping mechanism for his intellectual growth at such a young age.

[tbw2]

It may be his way of filling in his need for stimulation in a very boring Siberian world.

Edgar Rice Burroughs - John Carter - Warlord of Mars Just a Virgianian with a dream... ( love those frazetta covers)

my oldest son would sound out/sight read many, many words and would read entire childrens’ books to me at 2 yrs. old — when I sent him to pre-school at 3, they had to “bump” him up to the next class because he would read off all the lessons on the easel before the teachers could get a chance ... he got skipped up again from 4th to 6th ... some kids just have that gift — I don’t think they’re from Mars ... seriously

Nei9ther do I, I’m happy for you that your child was treated as a genius rether than a misfit.....for too often brilliant kids are mishandled by the modern school system....they sit bored to death day after day learning nothing. They (me) sometimes become troublesome and cause mayhem in the class. Congratulate your school staff that they advanced your child, God bless him/her and may he/she really contribute to humanity with their gift.

THis kid reads, so he should get a kick out of the Johnny Ringo books...

I prefer Tralfalmador.

I had a neighbor and friend back in the 60’s that played piano by ear...when young her parents sent her to a teacher, but it didn’t help. She could hear something played once and would play it exactly after one hearing...not everyones brain works the same....then there are the democrats who’s brains don’t work at all......

Modern feminist(or maybe just any woman)would go absolutely nuts if they read a John Carter book. I used to love them when I was young.

[calex59]

I learned to read on my own and could read quite well at 4 yrs. My mother took me to the library and I had a library card before I entered Kindergarten. I was bored silly by the Dick and Jane books.
