Rotten Tomatoes, mostly for the convenience of having a bunch of them all together. I usually have a good sense already of what I do or don't want to see, but for borderline films it helps me know whether waiting for DVD is a possibility.

It was an awesome episode all the way around.

He's done a lot of great work. I recommend his readings of The Prestige, Dracula, Dust and Shadow, and The Improbable Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

Curious to hear which narrator you are enjoying. I have listened to both Simon Vance and Patrick Tull read Master & Commander and then picked Vance to take me through the rest of the series. I didn't mind Tull at all, but Vance won me over.

It can be hard for me to get into a book these days too. I can really only do it when I'm out of the house. And usually that involves eating. So now eating = reading = eating ... not the healthiest association...

I'm very glad I stopped with book 3. Was a decent little trilogy.

Audiobook: just switched over to the Iron Druid series, book 1 - it's Dresden Files with druids, basically. Narrator isn't quite as good as James Marsters but passable. Print: moved on to book 2 of the Saxon books by Bernard Cornwell.

Saw it, enjoyed it, enjoyed the surprise (suspected it early on, but delighted with the relevant performance), no pressing need to see it again soon.

I enjoyed 1Q84. Wasn't 100% sure I "got" it. It's been over a year and I still think about it, so that's a good sign.

I think it helps send the message that D&D is d20 is Pathfinder is D&D. Probably helps Paizo the most. Paizo can't really come right out and say it, but you can. Plus it's pretty and shiny. Maybe Paizo can/should work out an Amazon.com-like deal with you...

Only selected a few. They tend to be ones I went back to multiple times and still found them enjoyable (even if I might not today find them the best - example, the first Michael Keaton Batman). I really enjoyed Batman Begins and picked that one too, but I think I'm one of the rare ones who did...

Oh, me too - just started the first one.

Very interested. I have ten years of Smallville on the brain, so I'll be looking for interesting takes on the issues of identity, disguises, lying to protect loved ones, etc. And will enjoy seeing him in situations that require him to use all of his powers.

It does look good. The problem with trailers is that they are cut together so fast - I'm hoping the action is more crystal clear and less like a blur.

Started The Map of Time by Felix Palma http://www.amazon.com/Map-Time-Novel-Felix-Palma/dp/1451683030 But put that aside to read some non-fiction: Devil in the White City http://www.amazon.com/Devil-White-City-Madness-Changed/dp/0375725601 Listening to Cryptonomicon (42 hours long!)...

Reading Empire State - I had started it but set it aside and am now back into it. Sci-Fi, Superhero, Alternate History type thing. Listening to 14 by Peter Clines. Sci-fi, maybe supernatural (not sure yet), has a strange building with a mysterious past and lots of clues ala the TV series...

Neat, thanks!

I don't consider myself very knowledgeable about the genre and I don't have many examples to share. But for example, I read and enjoyed 1Q84 which I think might qualify. I was, however, uncomfortable with the ambiguous nature of the supernatural elements of the story - were they real, were...

I'm halfway through Alif - it's a quick, entertaining read so far. Thought maybe it was going for "magical realism" but nope, it's some straight up fantasy set in a modern setting.
