another public service announcement or three

Go see Stardust. It's a lot of fun. It isn't really much like Princess Bride at all but it's more like Princess Bride than any other movie I can think of offhand.

I'm seriously considering going again next Satyrday morning at Springfield mall, since it's only $4. This would make Stardust the first movie I've seen twice in the theatre since, um, Sin City? Totally worth it, for the pretty and the fun and Robert De Niro's Captain Shakespeare.

(Just close your eyes during the trailer for The Dark Is Rising. Better yet, leave the theatre and come back when it's done.)

Also and unrelated, for those of you still near Blacksburg, there's a white groundhog hanging out in a suburb northwest of Roanoke.

So you haven't read the books then? I haven't seen the trailer yet, but there's no reason to since my wife refuses to see any movie in which Will is an American.

I only know there is a book because of the trailer. I'd never heard of them until I saw the trailer.
