Of all the above movies, The Hobbit is the only one that I am looking
forward too. The Hunger games would be next on the list, though it likely
'skews young'.

I was distracted by those articles about how Smith's starring role in
the Tarantino western would be his first big screen appearance since
whatever it was he did most recently, I Am Legend or that one where
he's dying. I don't much keep up on Will Smith.

I have no complaints based on the teaser. And Josh Brolin's brief
snippet is very promising.
And for whoever was asking about The Avengers, there's a trailer for
that too...

Not that they "have" to. They can do it legally if the nudity isn't
erotic. But I thought even in the books, the sex & nudity stuff was
pretty prudish.
Heck, they can do limited nudity and get PG-13, but probably not with the
amount of violence they have to portray.

Where's the Sex in The Hunger Games?
This'll probably get some false positives on the google searches
(sorry), but I had to mention this. I saw this on Top Ten Most
Challenged Books of 2010.
'The Hunger Games' -- sexually explicit, unsuited to age group...
What? Where the hell was The Hunger Games sexually explicit? There
wasn't a single sex scene, no nudity. Someone needs to tell me where
that part was, because I sure as hell want to read that part again.
This is why censorship sucks. Because these mother-hen "concerned
parents" always have their heads up their asses. They never read the
book in question, and if they do, they always misinterpret it, take it
out of context, or never understand the context that it's in. They're
different worlds away, and it is not their job to determine what my
kid can and can't be exposed to. That's my job.

nudity, though I'm not sure why anyone would expect it to show up in the
theatrical version aimed at teens (if not 'kids').
Meanwhile, I recently watch 'The Night Buffalo' on DVD...a film much more
likely to fill a person's 'adult content' needs.

It doesn't make me question their masculinity. It makes me question their

There are chick flicks I like a lot. I laughed my ass off in Bridesmaids.
I loved "Sleepless in Seattle". I can't think of a genre I completely
avoid.

and read both the sequels. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone

Actually, if it were written for adults, I might actually rave, but it's
hampered by -- not sure how to say it, maybe a "Spielburg" type
sensibility at times, even though a lot of kids murder each other.
But on the positive side, there's a superb satire on modern society,
somewhat along the lines of Thomas Mann's "Glass Bead Game". People like
it for a reason.

I actually had it three layers deep in my To Be Read list, but then I
realized that it wasn't a one-off, so I removed it. SF series can often
turn out to be endless and are often ... well, let's just say that the
quality isn't always consistent after the first outing or two. I may
give it another look, but I know from experience that I'm better off not
starting a SF series than I am at dropping it mid-series when it
deserves to be dropped.
And speaking of Orwellian fantasy, I have Murakami's 1Q84 on hand for
soon after I finish REAMDE. It's one that you might want to check out if
you like Orwellian stuff.

The "no chafing" bit is what makes it so sexy.

I have had the experience of watching a movie that made me laugh so hard I
cried, and then watching it again some time later and wonder "what the
hell was I laughing at?"
And to demonstrate my total lack of concern about my image, I'll even tell
you the name of the movie:

Well, on second thought, maybe this is a "I don't think I woulda' told

How's that for logic?

Hardback will help you to build up your biceps and triceps, as each

Exactly. And I know myself well enough to know how hard it is for me to
*not* get suckered into Yet Another Entry in a Deteriorating Series.
