Still an ass, but at least in the novel he had a noble ending
I see what you did there.

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.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Me too, ita. We just saw CA last weekend. I really liked it.

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!

1. The Hobbit 2. The Dark Knight Verbs 3. The Avengers 4+. All other movies of the year, pretty much. Those listed are the ones that make me pee my panties. Jackson, Nolan, Whedon. All are my masters now.

The Woman in Black, Dark Shadows, The Dark Knight Verbs (which is what I'm going to be calling it from now on!), The Hobbit ... I can't really figure out which one I'm most excited for. Right now, probably The Woman In Black, but that's because I'm on a Victorianish horror binge right now.

The Dark Knight Verbs (which is what I'm going to be calling it from now on!)
I like this. I approve.
I need to re-read Knightfall.

Speaking of my Victorianish horror movie binge, watching From Hell always makes me want absinthe. And opium, but I'm not going to dabble in that.
