…despite what I said in a previous posting. I saw the film, I took a quiz, and now I know. What’s weird is that I totally see this. I completely understood Neville’s reaction in the spider scene…

Oh, the perversion of muggles
My inner child has had a crush on Daniel Radcliffe since I first saw him interviewed about the Harry Potter movies and he was so nice to a wheelchair-bound kid in the audience (and Rupert Grint definitely WASN’T). Plus, well, glasses just do it for me. As it turns out, I’m not the only one with latent (and rather inappropriate) Harry appreciation. Check out the Harry Potter Legal Age Countdown Clock.
go see Serenity
I rarely ask you to do anything for me, but this time I’m imploring you: go see “Serenity”:http://www.serenitymovie.com/ this weekend. Not later, not on DVD, but this weekend if you can. My motives are selfish: I want someone at SciFi to notice it and say, “Hey, that would make a good TV show.” Better yet, I want Mark Cuban to say, “Hey, that would make a good HDTV-straight-to-DVD/download show.” But that’s probably pushing it.
Just see the movie. I guarantee you’ll have a good time.
the return of penguin lust
Patrick pointed out a New York Times article on “conservatives flocking to March of the Penguins”:http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/13/science/13peng.html because it “affirms traditional norms like monogamy, sacrifice and child rearing”, not to mention (ugh) intelligent design. “Hooey” is the word that comes to mind, mostly because I saw the same film and didn’t feel even a twinge of neocon longing.
Don’t let a few kooky fans get in the way of seeing the film, though. It’s an extraordinary documentary on a fascinating subject, and well worth the price of admission.
thumbs up, down, or out?
We saw the “Hitchhiker’s Guide movie”:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371724/ over the weekend, as you might have guessed. I liked it a lot, and so did Karen. I can imagine we’ll watch it again when it comes out on DVD.
Of course, we also watched and liked “The Pirate Movie”:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084504/ this weekend, so we’re probably not the most stable reviewers around. Read on if you’re also a silly sort.
