Yes, I loved that one too, JZ.
I've never read The Dark is Rising, so I don't know where to put the recrimination marks.

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.

Slipped through the cracks, yep. But since there's a small child who's already half in love with the thing from the trailer, I can just about guarantee I'll be seeing it. So I'll read after.
I really want to see The Water Horse, too. Sort of Roan Inish-esque. (See how I avoided that, there?)
I didn't make it to any of the movies I was thinking about seeing earlier in the week, but I did get to the Simpsons Movie this afternoon.
Awesome.
A couple of surprises, Danny Elfman did NOT do the music and Gary Burritt was the Negative Cutter. I was sure either there wouldn't be one or it would be Teresa Repola Mohammed.
Just to add to the not-movie Shakespeare talk, while I was working for the Shakespeare in the Park in Fort Worth, TX part of our costume crew were in a production of Midsummer's that was performed by a total of 5 actors. Everyone was doubled, tripled and quadrupled parts and it only got confusing in the last scene when one of the actors had to play two of his parts who were speaking directly to each other. Otherwise it was one of the best productions I'd ever seen!
and I liked Branagh's Hamlet.
In case anybody else is as gullible as I am: The movie trivia print Pringles are a total rip off! More than half of the alleged "trivia" looks like this:

IGN is reporting Joss Whedon is putting together a pure western and wants Nathan Fillion as the lead.
Interesting.
Was that Joss's "big news" at ComicCon?
