Odds and Ends

I haven't written much lately because, quite frankly, I don't have much to say.

But I found out two exciting things today, so I'll quickly share them and get back to work.

Peter Jackson will be doing The Hobbit in two installations. He and New Line finally worked out a deal. They even settled the law suit! From what I hear, the first one is a 2010 release, which will be The Hobbit story, and the second one will come out in 2011 and will be based on Tolkien's appendices, notes, and other things. It should be interesting. I'm too lazy to post a link, but it's pretty easily found online.

The Dark Knight trailer came out, and looks fantastic. Check that out here.

Also, Sweeney Todd comes out Friday. With four Golden Globe nominations, I think it'll be a hit. The only issue is that the snob in me is a little upset that Sweeney Todd will be such a household name. There goes my elitist musical appreciation and love of Sondheim. (Yeah, I know, I'm being ridiculous).

I don't even know if this post makes sense, because I am tired and stressed and over-worked right now. Eh, I'm publishing anyway.

So yay for Jackson, Batman, and Sondheim. Go see Sweeney Todd!!
