Jun. 21st, 2007 11:02 amThey're going to make a movie out of Susan Cooper's The Dark Is Rising. You have no idea how important those books were to me as a kid, they completely shaped my very childhood. I'm positive I would be a totally different person now if I haven't read them. Still I'm not sure I want to see this one. An american main character? Why? And what about the magical girl in the poster? My jedy powers sense an Eragon lookalike!
Talking about jedi powers, yesterday I watched Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back: Kevin Smith is now one of my official deities (as if he wasn't already thanks to Dogma and Chasing Amy). I can't remember the last time I laughed so much during a movie. "Hey kids! It's Mark Hamill! Applause". And I can't believe I'm saying it, but Ben Affleck is such a good actor. He just needs a good director, just like Natalie Portman. How he and Matt Damon made fun of their careers in the Hunting Season part, I was laughing so much I couldn't breathe. Now I only need to see Mallrats and my View Askew marathon will be over, so I can watch his other movies, like Jersey Girl (can't believe I'm going to watch a movie with J. Lopez, I must really love the guy).
