bzarcherLike a lot of good things, it started with a mention over at Warren Ellis' blog.
Then I hit the official movie website.
Then I hit the trailer.
And y' know what? For the first time since ROTK opened, I have a movie I'm really looking forward to seeing.
I have a great love of the fantasy 30s/40s/50s and some of the art and ideas that came out of those movements. (Not to mention some of those great, if cheesy, serials.) I suspect this is gonna be great!
In other news, I got all the work left on my desk from yesterday done, and I'm strarting to feel really lightheaded, so I'll probably go home and lie down soon.
Also, a big stack of comic books finally arrived from TFW2005's store, more than 6 months late, and they still haven't sent 5 books from my order. However, it's not really worth getting too frustrated about. I'm just gonna say 'screw it', read the books, and if any of them get valuable, I'll sell them on eBay.
Finally, starting to scope out possible places to live in Columbus. We'll see how it goes.

Date: 2004-02-03 12:27 pm (UTC)I dunno. The plot at least seems meatish enough to keep attention, even if I doubt it'll be anything monstrously epic. Though part of me wonders if this could be almost an Indiana Jones sort of thing. We'll see.
Speaking of Jude Law, if you haven't seen The Wisdom of Crocodiles, it features him doing a nice job.

Date: 2004-02-03 01:50 pm (UTC)On the one hand, I really, really hope it will be good.
On the other, I read the script that Asimov actually endorsed and helped out Harlan Ellison a bit with, and I really wish they'd made that.

Date: 2004-02-03 03:08 pm (UTC)I guess the same way people manage to hate Mystery Men, really. Sheer snotty stupidity! Mmm. Sibilance.
