Oh, I agree. He's a talented kid. I read most of Eragon - hated it, personally, but then it takes a lot for me to actually get into stereotypical epit fantasy. I need more humor to my fantasy.
She just... she just did the math.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I saw Casino Royale tonight! That was totally awesome!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It was, wasn't it? Mmm, Daniel Craig.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So I went looking for a trailer for David Fincher's new movie, Zodiac, and I came across a trailer for The Zodiac, released earlier this year. Oops.

Another Office Space-as-thriller trailer, also very good. Better, I think, than the Milton-centric one with the horrid font.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Interesting. Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest was the third movie to top the $1 Billion mark after Titanic and RotK.
One. Billion. Dollars.
That is a lot of moola. Serious samoleons.

Because books.
I was wondering if there would be a Christmasy movie on tonight, but instead I see TCM is running The Bad Seed! Which, yay! Best creepy child movie ever! I also just discovered that Mervyn LeRoy directed it, which I never knew.
I know many people here didn't like it (although I believe the other Megan is with me on this--if only we could convince a few Amys), but I enjoyed The Da Vinci Code.
I keep meaning to read it, simply because I'm tired of hearing everyone talk about it and not understanding what the big deal is all about. A friend had actually recommended Angels and Demons (when it came out, not post-DaVinci) and I convinced DH to read it. He enjoyed the story, sort of, but deplored the writing, so I skipped both.
I'll definitely read a book for a decent story -- I don't expect every novel out there, especially mass market originals, to be lyrically written masterworks worthy of a Pulitzer. Sometimes I simply want a pageturner. Does DaVinci Code qualify on that count?

Ann, that's a ferret.

I have to believe Rhonda grew up to become Bette Davis in In This Our Life. Someone who starts the movie by stealing her sister's husband, and gets worse from there.

It fits, except ... Rhoda is struck by lightning at the end of the movie. Apparently she survived in the novel and the play, though.
The theme on TCM tonight is "little girls" -- we've moved from The Bad Seed to Shirley Temple in The Little Princess, which will be followed by ... (cue drumroll) The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane!
In the freaky coincidences department, I caught the tail end of the last on Showtime a month ago, NetFlixed it, and *just opened the DVD today* (although I only got to see part of it before Sara woke up from her nap). Weird.
