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.
But I can't get into it! Such a slog for me.
lisah, I am mostly familiar with them because my father read them out loud to us when were were young, twice! And then some of my siblings became Tolkien fanatics, so I knew more than I wanted to most of the time.
I did eventually read them for myself, but I didn't tell anyone in the family for years, not wanting to be sucked into their insanity.
The structural plotting of TLotR owes a lot to not only Tolkien's prediliction for walking holidays (he was a hiker who went all over Britain, etc.) but also his experiences in WWI which included a bunch of long slogs, short but dire battles and occasionally reaching a safe place like a trench or camp where there was a fire and some hot tea. In that sense, he's merely writing from experience.
I'll wait for movies 7 and 8 and hope they come with Daniel Radcliffe.
Nobody Watches The Watchmen at Funny or Die. With a special appearance by Glycon.
Bwahaha. Awesome.
Teppy, there is the Marvel Illustrated's Pride & Prejudice short series of comics!
Hee. That was amusing.
And I just looked up Glycon on Wikipedia, and WTF, Alan Moore?

Heeeeeey! I might be able to do that!
It's a five-issue run. First issue came out in April, and my comic book store had back-ordered all the issues that've come out so far. Trade comes out October 28, looks like.
