Dumbest Decision Ever?
New Line dumps Peter Jackson as director of the theoretical Hobbit movie.
Lawsuit or not, this has got to be a really, really dumb move. It would take a great deal of convincing to get me to see "The Hobbit" directed by someone else. And a LOTR prequel? I know there's Tolkien material for one, but ... I'm scared.
In better news, IMDB lists that in the upcoming The Golden Compass movie, Nicole Kidman really and truly has been cast as Mrs. Coulter. I was rooting for that casting - she'll be perfect. Now, if we can only get them to cast Nathan Fillion as Lee Scoresby ...

Ohhhh, The Golden Compass...I believe that is one of the books on my "read to the children" list. With a movie coming out, I best get it read!

Ok, is it bad that I'm unfamiliar with "The Golden Compass"?
Slightly off topic, I went to Amazon to look up "The Golden Compass", and while there I looked at my wish list. It seems they are selling the complete B5 series for half price right now (around $150).
