THere’s a nice series of sci-fi movies coming up at the Walter Reade Theater. And, yep, I’ve got a cold. Hopefully, it’ll be gone by Christmas.

I just found out that the Walter Reade Theater is doing a Lord of the Rings trilogy weekend in January, showing the extended versions of all three films, and doing a Q&A with Peter Jackson. Now, if only I knew someone geeky enough to want to go, but not so geeky that they’re turned off by the simplifications and alterations to the story that Jackson had to make to translate the books to movies.
I think everyone I know is on one side or the other of that fence — either they liked the movies, but don’t really feel the need to see them more than once, or they’re seething with rage at the abomination that Jackson hath unleashed unto the world.

Heroic Grace
HEROIC GRACE: THE CHINESE MARTIAL ARTS FILM — a film series at the Walter Reade theater. Sounds like something I’m going to need to check out!
BAAF/AXNY
Got back from BAAF/AXNY this morning. I saw two great movies: Cowboy Bebop and Millennium Actress. The dealer’s room was way too crowded, though. I didn’t buy a thing, mostly just because I couldn’t get near any of the tables. Oh well.
BAAF
Okay, things are just about back to normal now. No more big trips coming up. Just one little trip: BAAF, Labor Day weekend. I’m a little confused about the relationship between BAAF and AXNY. I guess I’ll have to read the web pages a little more carefully. Also, I’m trying to decide if I should stay in NYC on Friday or Saturday night. (I think I can still get a hotel room…)
Britney Spears
Britney Spears has her own restaurant!
I wonder if I can convince anyone to go with me? (Maybe if I don’t tell them about the Britney connection…)
