Want to see.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

I just finished rereading all four books at the end of last year. I started rereading in the hopes that book five would at least have an announced release date by the time I was finished, but I plowed through 4,000 pages in about a month, so.... Yeah. Still waiting.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Technically Dances With Dragons has a release date (April 2010, I think?) but I don't trust it since it also had a release date of October 2009 and god knows how many before that over the last five years.

I'll believe a release date when Martin says he's actually finished the damned thing.

No no, you can pre-order it from Amazon! It's totally a real book that really exists!
...you know...eventually...
It wouldn't be so frustrating if he hadn't put the author's note at the end of Storm of Swords that said the second half of the story would be out "sometime next year." IN 2005.

I sleepily watched Doubt last night. I have concluded that it was not very good. Also, that people had doubts.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Good god, Pitch Black is a hard movie to vid. I never quite appreciated the plethora of changing lighting and atmosphere and elements segmenting until now. Red light on the ship, overblown planetside, blue sunshine, orange eclipse/sunset, green flares, blue wire light, orange torch light, blue phosphorescent bugs, blue blood, rain... I'm sure I missed something.
Went on a Twohy kick and watched The Perfect Getaway. I was spoiled inadvertantly going in (thank you IMDB with your "Continuity/Goofs/Trivia" having a spoiler right there on the main page. But that was fine, because it saves me from having to watch it a second time. But even then I missed some things, and on further inspection, they held up. So, tight writing, even if the overall feel left me a bit cold, and this is the first time that I haven't been turned off by Olyphant. He was wonderfully crazy. Coulda done without the overly long flashback. There's a sequence near the end where the editing gets kinda awesome for a minute or so with the sound effects.
But I didn't feel like I was watching a Twohy movie until the end with the helicoptor flying over the island at sunset.
Okay, no, I take it back, it didn't leave me cold, I was totally invested in Nikko and Gina making it out alive and felt the Hollywood jokes worked here far better than in Lady in the Water (which I still adore). soem good laughs.
