Something like 10 years later, but damn Denethor is a giant butthead.

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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
We also don't get the context that he had--and used--a palantir, which makes him much more understandable (if still an ass).

Still an ass, but at least in the novel he had a noble ending (if crazy), rather than a batshit one.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, Denethor at least had the Dark Lord picking at his brain for a good excuse.
Wait, Dark Lord. That's the wrong book. Isn't it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG, so looking forward to this.

Me too, ita. We just saw CA last weekend. I really liked it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I think Avengers is the movie I'm most looking forward to, even over DKR. Mostly because DKR looks like it's going to be nothing but grim (why it doesn't bother me on the page but bothers me onscreen is a mystery), and Avengers looks like it is going to be fun with a side of booyah.

Because books.
I'm looking forward to The Avengers, because it's Joss (and RDJ and the Thor guy and Chris Evans), but I'm more excited for Cabin in the Woods because it looks completely fucked up in an excellent Joss way.
Also! I was just at the bookstore, and they have a big box of posters for $2 or under in one corner. I was looking for stuff Sara might like for her room, and instead found a never-opened poster with April 6, 2007 (my birthday! so, cool) visible along the bottom edge. Turned it over, and the sticker on one end said "Grindhouse". So I bought it and opened it up, and it's the one with Rose Byrne! Whee!
