Can they please just do another theatrical re-release of the first one? Like they did last year?

Proudfeet!

You're not the only one. GGM himself said that Rabassa's English translation was superior to his original Spanish, and I think credited it with his winning the Nobel.

He was, and this article doesn't really do justice to how intense his story was—it doesn't mention his use of maggots to eat off gangrenous flesh, or the fact that he crawled on his hands for six weeks to reach safety. I'm actually kind of looking forward to this movie.

I hear that the bear they cast for this role is currently getting rave reviews for its portrayal of the bear that chases everyone off at the end of Act III scene iii of The Winter's Tale.

I've noticed this thing where documentaries about actual science -almost- never begin with the phrase "everything we think we know about our universe is wrong."

Even worse than fake band names are fake websites, imo:

"Trapped in the past, Harlan Ellison finds himself leaping from lawsuit to lawsuit , putting things right, that once went wrong and hoping each time,

Surely I'm not the only one this article reminded of the Monty Python skit about the world's funniest joke:

Ok, this may be a minor quibble, but everyone seems to be operating on the assumption that at least Snyder stayed true to the source material, especially in the ending. But the way he did the ending totally changes the meaning!

I've had this same idea, unfortunately not until well after I was already heavily invested in a very non-writing career that I now can't escape. Oh well.

Man, I came to this article hoping the balance of Farscape/GoT comments would tilt more towards the Farscape side. Now I realize that's an hilariously unrealistic thing to expect…

Glad Hollywood finally took my advice and gave Pacini's "l'Ultimo Giorno di Pomeii" the big screen treatment.

Not to get all hyperbolic and such, but this may be my favorite episode of any TV show, full stop.

I didn't think the voice-over from Beth's diary was cheap irony—I read it as foreshadowing her suicide. The excerpts ended with "We can live here for the rest of our lives" and "If this doesn't work, I don't know how I could keep going". Since they no longer live there, and it didn't work, that seems to imply that…
