One of my favorite Shakespeare plays + Joss Whedon? Yeah, I think I'm good with that.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

That's about how people responded to the book as well, which makes me think it's a decent adaptation.
I do know that they changed the structure - instead of the mirrored chronology in the book, the six stories are simply intercut. Which I'm a bit cranky about, but willing to reserve judgment until I see it.

One of my coworkers saw The Oogieloves a week or so ago. He has a small child (~4) and wanted to see a movie with her. Apparently, even by the standards of movies one watches with small children, it was not good. I pointed him toward My Neighbor Totoro.

Huh, interesting. They lose the onion effect.
Which reminds me, I really need to reread that. Maybe on audiobook...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The audiobook has multiple readers! It's gotten really popular at the library, though, so I'm going to have to wait a while.

I stupidly gave my Dad his copy back a few weeks ago, not realizing that I would want to reread it and the Brooklyn library currently has 59 holds for the Kindle version and 78 for the dead tree.

Ahahaha. The Star Trek sequel is called...Star Trek into Darkness.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The fact that Obama read his own book for the audiobook version, and it has swearwords in it, might actually get me to buy an audiobook for the first time. Mainly because I want clips of him swearing.

I thought ST into Darkness was a joke.
