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.
I have....very mixed feelings about this. I would love to believe it can be pulled off.

I thought, "Thorin would agree." Doesn't he complain in the book about the elves singing too much? I'd go check the text but Franny has been taking it to school to reread it.
"Bilbo Baggins on a pony! Isn't it delicious!"

I looked up the writer on IMDB, and am very perplexed.

Speaking as a Tim Burton fangirl: DEAR G-D, NO. Do not let him near Sandman. I love Tim Burton, but he's SO not a good fit for that material.
Guillermo Del Toro would be a great director for a Sandman project.

He would be perfect.
