Movie Season 2012


It's that time of year again...movies are coming up! So what do I want to see?



FRANKENWEENIE

At long last, Tim Burton gets back to what he does best. It's a 3D (I may or not see it in that format) black and white film...only thing missing is for it to be silent to be the ulitmate 'niche' film. 

ARGO

The Town was a fantastic underrated film. With Affleck again directing and starring as well as Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston, this seems pretty good.

SKYFALL

Daniel Craig is the best Bond since Sean Connery, And Casino Royale is definitely in the top 3, or top 5 Bond films. With Craig back for a third film and a great cast, I'll be seeing this one in theatres.

LINCOLN

We're finally getting Steven Spielberg's Lincoln movie!! I've been hearing about this film through the internet for the past 1-2 years.

 THE HOBBIT: PART 1

Hmmm.....how do you stretch a book under 500 pages into three films?? It boggles the mind but I trust Peter Jackson. I'll be doing a post closer to the film's release with more 'info' about that. But let's see - Galadriel. Not in The Hobbit novel, but will be in the films. Saruman, same. You get the tale of Bilbo Baggins' journey with the dwarves (stretched over 3 films) as well as events that are taking place in Middle-earth at the time The Hobbit takes place, but weren't in the novel itself (these things were referenced by the author in Lord of the Rings, as well as some further tales). I'm glad Peter Jackson and the 'crew' are back, as well as Howard Shore for the music, and all the actors who played their characters in Lord of the Rings. 

ZERO DARK THIRTY

The director of Hurt Locker's long-anticipated follow-up, about something to do with Osama Bin Laden.

DJANGO UNCHAINED

It's Tarrantino's first movie since Inglourious Basterds...need I say more?

LES MISERABLES

I'm curious about this one...it's by the King's Speech director so we'll see...

That's pretty much it!

The Tolkien Signature Paperback Collection: Master Listing

Image
  Recently, HarperCollins has been re-issuing most of the Tolkien titles in a new paperback style. Since that a vast majority of these share ISBNs with other covers, eventually the older covers will be replaced with the new. I wanted to provide head's up for that. If ordered via Amazon UK, Blackwell's, or Waterstones, you'll very likely have the newer/Signature cover. If possible, it may be best to actually visit  the bookstore so you can see which one they actually have on their shelves.   This post is a Master Post, collecting ISBNs of the titles released in this style. I have made them into 'groups' or 'sets' for ease of reference, as well as possibly assist in purchasing them, if one were to get more than one book at once. Over the course of time, this post will get updated. Once a new title comes to this format, I'll do a separate blog post focusing on that title; and provide it's ISBN, cover art, and description. Enough of these have come out t...

An Update

Image
So I bet you're wondering how The Saga of Kalvel is coming.  It's going well, but slow. I'm not putting into as much time writing the series as I'd like. It's still being thought of in my head, and I'm only able to get to it part time, but I'm still planning and writing at the same time. This weekend I'm hoping to binge through some.  I'm working on the third chapter for one character, and would like to start the first chapter for another character. I begun as early as Dec. 2011, and my deadline is August of 2016, but so far I have approx about 40 completed manuscript pages that I'm thinking of going back to until the first draft is completely done.  Now. That's manuscript pages.  If I were total everything I'd ever written about Kalvel, it would be closer to around 100 (give or takr about 15 either direction, some things are in various states.) I've said before and again that the most difficult vo...
