I have nothing to post about but I'm still around...sort of :P -
See, because he was Mordred! Mordred!
So I went to see Ender's Game on the night it was released. I wasn't planning to, because, you know, Orson Scott Card is to be vilified. But then I read some editorial-type things that reminded me that in the scale of things, my boycotting the movie wouldn't actually hurt Cardface, but might negatively impact things I could care about (like the ( Read more... ) -
HPDH2 thoughts
So I just got back from seeing the last Harry Potter movie. I'd never gone to a midnight release before; it just didn't seem important.

It did not occur to me until mid-way through that it was kind of like elementary school gym class. The associated memories were unpleasant, but I persisted. And was pleasantly surprised and somewhat incredulous when I actually ( Read more... ) -
milling art
So I've watched three movies in quick succession recently, which is unusual for me. My movie consumption tends to average out at less than one per month. I figure so anomalous an occurence deserves some commemoration. Plus I have lots of trouble coming up with LJ fodder these days, so.
My Life in Ruins was fairly entertaining, but didn't do ( Read more... )
