[March] What are you reading?

I just stumbled across the trailer for A Princess of Mars. Form what I saw it looked very cheap and disappointing, especially the way they did the Green Men.

What you saw was the trailer for a cheap straight-to-DVD version, not the big screen, big budget release currently being worked on.

I'm glad to hear that. I didn't like the thought of any of the Martians being treated in that fashion.

What will the big budget one be called? Anything about it out yet?

Just finished a big Tom Clancy reread, of Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, and The Bear and the Dragon.

Next up is the third Safehold book and Star Carrier.

I was going to say, aren't they still filming this thing? I thought I saw ads for extras and movie set people around the Moab area of Utah. Of course that was a few months ago.

I'm listening to the audiobook of Jim Butcher's Proven Guilty. James Marsters does a fantastic job of reading them, and has Harry Dresden's voice perfectly, as well as good voices for the other characters.

I've also started reading the bible, using Robert Alter's translations of The Five Books of Moses and the Psalms, and the NLT translation of the rest. If you want to know where "Kick in the door, kill them, and take their stuff" first came from, read the book of Joshua. It's a slaughterfest.

Woah...I haven't looked into that movie for a while. Michael Chabon writing? Willem Dafoe, James Purefoy, Bryan Cranston, and Thomas Haden Church? Andrew Stanton directing?

That is all very encouraging.

Found my copy of [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Shakespearean-Actor-Prepares-Adrian-Brine/dp/1575251892/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1268361508&sr=8-1]A Shakespearean Actor Prepares[/ame], and I'm glad I did. Paragraph for paragraph, one of the best book on Shakeapeare performance I've ever read.
