Daniel Craig and Eva Green working together again? Smart move.

If nothing else, this looks exciting.

I hate it when they make movies for books I haven't read yet.

Eric Bana! Sweet!

You are such a copycat, Pesto. . . You know, it's pretty lame to follow trends this long after they began. . . *swoops cape and leaves sig*

Burn. ;D

Almost to the first degree!

Poor guy. *shakes head like Mr. Miyagi*

Tee hee, Ralph Macchio. . .

Guys, this isn't a thread!

Wanna bet? ;D

I would, but I'm broke. Sigh.

I can loan you some cash for the bet. I guess it does kind of defeat the purpose, though, doesn't it?

I wouldn't complain.

I'm absolutely certain I probably won't get to a copy of that before December (unless my grandmother sends me a copy as a birthday/Christmas present, but I'm holding out for the final HP).

I got halfway through this book, then stopped. I'll read it after HP.

Why'd you stop? Was it sizable?

OMG, Daniel Craig! How could I have not noticed that??

No - another book came out that I'd been waiting for for a while.

Even when I said ''Daniel Craig and Eva Green working together again? Smart move.''? LOL.

THAT I can agree with.

Four fifths of all movies this year are remakes, sequels, or based off books. Do Hollywood writers not want to work any more or what?

Unfortunately the computer won't let me see that trailer, but, well, I liked the books (though there's so much controversial religious stuff in the later ones, I wonder how that's gonna go over--or, on second thought, if anyone is going to care--) and they better not kill them.
