Read trade ppbks 1-3 of Warren Ellis's Planetary and am finishing up vol. 4 riiiiiight now. I had read them piecemeal over the years, and finally got my hands on the last volume last week, so it's incredibly satisfying to read them all at once.

Read somewhere that during its initial run (of several months), GWTW was seen by half the population of the U.S. Granted, the U.S. population was a fraction of today, but that is an amazing accomplishment.

I'm still undecided about seeing Moonrise Kingdom. I loved Rushmore and liked Royal Tenenbaums quite a bit when I first saw it, but after marinating in my mind for a while, it left a sour aftertaste.
