Inglorious Basterds Anyone like this? I thought it was great. Lots of awesome dialog which is what most Tarantino movies are known for. Brad Pitt's accent was pretty stupid sounding at first, but I came to really like it by the end.

Quarantine This was surprisingly good.

That's my new favorite word.:lol:

Haha, weird!! I was about to post the same thing. :lol:

The Lovely Bones sounds good to me.:D

I started with The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien and am now reading Chronic City by Jonathan Lethem. If I finish that before the month is over, I'll probably move to Storm of Swords by George R R Martin.

Really? That's wild. I envy being able to just sit around and talk to him.

Haven't read it, but I've heard that it's a pretty decent adaptation. You know how that goes though.

Anyone seen this yet? Just saw it tonight. All I can say is, wow. Utterly bleak and hopeless. One of the most depressing movies I've ever seen.:sad:

I think he's been real busy with the HBO tv show, which I hope lives up to the books. I've only read the first two though, so I still have enough to read before I'm in your camp. :P
