Heres another book I haven’t read but keep on my shelf. Maybe I’ll get around to reading it before the movie opens. Anyways, good article about the new movie and some of the difficulties it has faced to come to the big screen. At least I finally realized that Dakota Blue Richards and Dakota Fanning [...]
So this was supposed to be a busy week. Went to see Spamalot on Friday night, Young Frankenstein Saturday night (OMG, so great! I’m so lucky it did the pre-Broadway showing nearby), then stay with my parents for a week while preparing to work sell my Otaku Survival Guides at a con next weekend. Then [...]
Okay, two book news pieces that I found interesting over the last few days. First off is the Variety article about Todd McFarlane remaking the world of the Wizard of Oz for a new movie. McFarlane and partner Josh Olson will be creating a darker, grittier Oz that they hope will still appeal to fans [...]

This may be a short lived experiment, but I’ve decided to list new books when I buy them. Of course, I may just look at two weeks worth of new books, realize how quickly I’m gonna go broke, and abandon this whole idea. Still, its worth a try.
So I went to Powell’s Books today. For [...]

Rose’s mother, Celestine, grew a glorious rose garden behind their chateau, and central to that garden was the statue of Artemis. Celestine was faithful to her goddess, and on the eve of her daughter’s thirteenth birthday, she asked [...]
Wow. I just saw Stardust yesterday and I don’t think I have seen a more fun and feel good movie all summer. The special effects, scenery, and costuming are of course gorgeous and it’s a very fantastical movie, but at heart, it’s just a damn happy trip through a faerie world. No giant wars with [...]
