I realized over the weekend that I have many wonderful things on the horizon which I will soon be able to see or get in my grubby paws. Even though this list I am about to put forth to you, dear reader, will expose some of my favorite things, I do not hesitate. I am not ashamed.
Flicks:
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, now playing– I always have to go see just how bad they mucked up the book, but with an open mind.
Kingdom of Heaven, now playing – I love epics and I am a complete sap, so I am sure I will love Scott’s new offering.
Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, opens May 19th – I know many people hate Lucas’ new Star Wars, but hey, I’m still a fan because I believe the new trilogy serves a different purpose than the first.
Serenity, opens September 30th – I absolutely can not wait to see this BDM. It’s gonna be shiny!
Underworld: Evolution, opens December 2nd – I do not know how I can wait until December for this movie.
Books:
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling, out July 16th – For HP and the Order of the Phoenix – I waited in line till 1am to get my hands on a book. I think this year, I will calmly go to the store the next day and buy one without the huge crowd.
Eldest by Christopher Paolini, out August 23rd – This is the second book of an amazing author. The Inheritance series began in Eragon.
A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon, out September 27th – I have been reading about Jaime and Claire since high school and wind up rereading some of the previous books every year or so just because I have missed them.
–Jane, looks ahead
Updated: Belatedly, I remembered that HP and the Goblet of Fire will be in theaters on November 18th. Many pardons, Mr. Potter.
Your list and mine look startlingly alike… Thanks for providing me the dates!
