Btw, just want to point out that we, GreenCine, also have the superior, newer Special Edition of that film: <BR/>http://www.greencine.com/webCatalog?id=177047<BR/><BR/>Which I own. :-) <BR/>"I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!"

No pressure on us, of course, since we are the "couple of readers" that touted the book. Dive in and share the love, folks! Now I have an excuse (like I needed one) to go back and re-read it. I am reading Bujold's latest right now, though, so this will have to wait. <BR/><BR/>Curses! I regularly "cast" books as I read them because I find that it helps me to visualize the action and the interaction in the story. And I already had the perfect cast for this book...but they are all <I>seven years older</I> now, so many of them are no longer a good physical fit for their roles. Well, I do love a challenge. <BR/><BR/>It is a coincidence, of course, but the same gentleman pictured in the "Day of Rest" post that started this is likely to be the universally acclaimed first choice for one of the leading roles. Read along, folks, and see which one you think it is (though, from her comment above, I suspect Emily already knows.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-39955938407700114282008-05-02T22:18:00.000-04:002008-05-02T22:18:00.000-04:00Thanks for all the fun stuff you've given us to lo...Thanks for all the fun stuff you've given us to look forward to! I especially love the "Cast This" idea and can't wait to discuss "Curse of Chalion" later this month. I think the challenge will be to think past the stars of LOTR and other fantasy and superhero movies (ah, but Viggo and Christian Bale are so good that they could transcend double-dipping, couldn't they?).<BR/><BR/>p.s.
