Good points, Lou. Before he turns Vader in AOTC, Anakin is shown doing some clearly evil things. Why do we care that Vader is redeemed in ROTJ when the moral difficulties started much earlier than that? To me, with the way AOTC is written, Anakin turning into Vader isn't some tragic fall of a...

Cameron, I agree with your assessment of the Mary Stewart books. Very cool how Merlin's character is presented, which really could work well in a motion picture. I thought the Crystal Cave was fantastic.

I burn right through them. I guess there's something about the pacing of TV shows that allows me to sit through hours at a time. With movies, my limit is usually 1 at a time.

I hope the movie is better than the novellization of the screenplay I picked up in the airport. That thing was dreadful.

I agree, I can't stand him. Top Gun as a race car driver, Top Gun as a bartender, Top Gun as a samurai warrior, Top Gun as a sports agent, Top Gun as a motivational speaker. I generally pass on his movies if he's in them, with the latest exception being Minority Report only because I'm a huge...

La Femme Nikita (Seasons 3-5). Hopefully there won't be a year-long wait like there was for season 2.

Does John Cleese's "preparation" of the schoolroom in Meaning of Life count? :D

Excellent read and a great job.

Haven't seen the movie, but my guess is that would be Veronica's veil. The Shroud of Turin is (allegedly) Jesus' burial cloth.

Next up, Jurassic Park.
