Oh, but if you're into that sort of thing, the new LOEG book has an excellent Lovecraftian Jeeves & Wooster story!
...Aaand I think we've just determined exactly why I'm so unhip. Excellent.
Strega, if it makes you feel better, when Pete offered to read that story out loud to me, I made a squeaky noise, grabbed Clovis, and sat on the couch in giddy anticipation.
I ... I STILL have not seen
Sweeney Todd.
We didn't have time over vacation, and Pete is chained to the computer for a looming deadline the rest of the week. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it is still in 1st run theaters next week.
still in 1st run theaters next week
It came in at #9 this weekend so it shouldn't drop off of too many 1st run theatres but it might show in the smaller auditoriums.

Smaller auditoriums are fine, I just don't want to see it on the teeny-tiny screen of our local second-run movie house. Thank you for giving me that info!
Jayzus, Jilli! How can you have not seen it yet? Ditch your adorable husband and have a friend take you. Pete can catch up later.
It's criminal that you haven't seen it. You need to be
on top of these things!

I would do this, but the deadline really is eating his brain and I think he would be not very amused if I went to the movie without him.

I looked at the big pretty art book for it.

Yay!
Oh. My. Dog. That is made of so much awesome, there's none left for anyone else!
