Even as a 13-year-old, I could see gaping holes in the plot and inconsistencies. The aliens were hardly alien.
Even more so, I could see that the writing was clumsy and the dialogue was stilted. I could see how the writer was developing the story, and so I was not pulled into it at all. I was actually thinking to myself that I could write something like this. And I was 13!
I haven't seen the movie, but from the sounds of it many of the problems with the book are also on screen.
Note for non-Canadians that "Newfoundland and Labrador" is a single province.
The database app in LibreOffice, based on the Firebird database engine, can do all that.
I don't know if this counts, but when I was about 13I was very excited to find an enormous book in my favorite genre at the time, Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard.
It was the first book I ever put down in disgust without finishing. In the almost half-century since then, there are under a dozen that I haven't finished. Shows you just how bad it is.
It's not clear to me if this still conker was painted or otherwise designed to pass as a real one. I could see someone who was an enthusiast carrying around a metal version as a good luck charm or a memento.
He certainly should have won for his role as Carson Clay in Mr Bean's Holiday.
Carson Clay stars in a Carson Clay production. Written by Carson Clay. Directed by Carson Clay...
That's kind of in the same realm as all the vampires in the world suddenly developing an aversion to crossed sticks and blessed water in 33 AD.
I started with a book too. But it was 1996, and the distro was Yggdrasil, and the book was a printout of all the man pages. I used it for a Prolog programming course, so that I didn't have to go to the university and use their computers. Of course, then I discovered the joys of different flavors of Prolog.
This is actually inspired by a very famous Iron Man comic cover from the late 1970s, where Tony Stark confronts his alcoholism for the first time.
If you want to know where the writers of the Iron Man movies drew their inspiration, it was largely from the comics of this era.

One of the teachers at my high school was a Catholic priest. He had been accused of molesting a young boy when he was in a parish so the bishop, in his wisdom, moved him to an all boys boarding school.
He was later found guilty of molesting the original boy and the parish, as well as a boy at my school. From what I know now, he was definitely grooming one of my classmates, so there were probably many more victims.
He was given 3 years probation, and died a year or two ago, more than 40 years since I had him as a teacher.
