Jackass the Movie. Um. No. Yeah, there were a few good parts, but very few. I’m glad I didn’t pay for that movie.

Ian Mckellan. He’s da man. Being in movies like LOTR, X-men, Apt Pupil, and more, he’s unbelievable versatile in his acting. Damn he’s da man.

Finally watched Fellowship of the Ring extended version. I have to say that it was much improved. It’s a great movie without it, but I feel that the extended scenes definitely lifted it up.

The Sword of Truth novels by Terry Goodkind. If you like fantasy/sci fi, I MUST recommend these books. The first book is called Wizard’s First Rule. I didn’t start into them before, only because one of my friends said that Goodkind was not a good writer. We liked the same kind of stories (Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan and others) so I took his word. Man was I EVER wrong.

Goodkind writes very well. I mean very well. He didn’t spend a bajillion pages building the character before he goes on with the story. Instead it all seems to happen while the story is happening. It’s hard to explain. And he writes with such passion! I felt for many of these characters. I could Totally relate to all of them. I mean the passion he has is incredible. He draws you into the story and makes you feel as if you were physically there, watching the tale unfold. Faith of the Fallen was the last book I read. (Pillars of Creation is the latest book released, but I have not been able to get it yet, it doesn’t have the “main” characters in it, and have been waiting for paperback.) I’m highly anticipating the next book, Naked Empire. It’s due out June of 2003. Man what a long time to wait, eh? ;)
