But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm just about done with The Girl Who Would Be King on Kindle, and it is GREAT. I just hope they get the casting right, because that's how this movie will live or die.

Totally. Especially the villain.

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

Very cool, tommyrot! Both those books sounded way cool and up my alley, but I've got so much else to read that to add more right now would just increase my stress. Will keep them in mind for the future, though.

(Yes, I did not download a book for free because it would stress me out to have it sitting there unread on my Kindle. Hi, I'm me.)

See, what I do is download a free book anyway. And then get stressed by it sitting unread on my Kindle app.

Wait, maybe yours is better.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Typo,

echo sentiments expressed above: don't watch Snowpiercer yet. It isn't "12 Years a Slave", but the movie is not "The Blues Brothers" either.

Thanks to you and Plei both. I'll hold off on it.

Oh yeah. And I can't be how sure I buy into there being any remote kind of happy ending. Polar bears not being the most beneficent of bears among other things.

I like that Frank went to the dark place though.
