I really enjoyed that book.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Watched some trailers on the Apple site.
XXX: State of the Union - They're replacing Vin Diesel with...Ice Cube? Well, Are We There Yet? was number one this weekend. And Samuel L. Jackson doesn't even get trailer billing, while Scott Speedman and Xzibit do?
Bride and Prejudice looks good. They're playing raas and everything!
Sin City looks pretty cool, and damn, that's a lot of stars. And Alexis Bledel taking what looks to be a pretty dark role, at least in comparison to everything else she's played.
The Jacket also looks vaguely interesting, since I'm into that sort of thing. And Keira Knightley also seems to be playing a slightly darker, edgier role.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's a huge article on Million Dollar Baby in today's USA Today, which makes the point (and pretty well, though I skimmed) that it's a movie to see now because there's a huge twist that can't stay secret much longer. Which is annoying, because I fall for that shit, especially when I think it's to be a good movie (as opposed to The Sixth Sense, or something).
And no, I'm not sure why I whitefonted either. There are no plot details in the above paragraph. But it was news to me.

Alexis Bledel taking what looks to be a pretty dark role,
I read that as Alexis Denisof at first, and I was all "woo-hoo!"

Is it a HUGE twist?
I don't know.
But really -- it's a boxing movie full of Oscar-winning actors. What sort of ending do you think it's going to have?

They're dead boxers?
They're actually from the Boxer Rebellion?
They're all really Boxers-- the dogs?
