But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Aw. Kubrick's fan letter to Ingmar Bergman:

Your vision of life has moved me deeply, much more deeply than I have ever been moved by any films. I believe you are the greatest film-maker at work today.

First pictures of the dwarves from The Hobbit: [link]

Can someone tell me wtf that is on Nori's head?

Note: totally unspoilery photo, it's a posed promo shot, unless it's spoilers to see what the character designs are.

It's rather silly looking: Dwarves don't wear hats. Helmets, maybe, but not hats.

... I may have been reading too much Pratchett lately.

In The Hobbit, the dwarves definitely wear HOODS. There's a lot about hoods.

Yes, hoods, right. Bilbo wears Balin's second-best cloak and hood!

Although I have to wonder, if the hood is separate from the cloak, doesn't that make it a (floppy) hat?

I always sort of envisioned detachable hoods with buttons.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I saw Beginners last night. It does a rather amazing job of jumbling past and present in service of bringing us inside a closed-off character. It's a little precious and "artsy," but I kinda liked that. And it has lovely performance--Christopher Plummer was AMAZING.
