as aintitcool.com says it, "Hollywood is finally catering to the geek!"

Some genre films that I will be looking forward to in the next 5 years, with links:

Evangelion (fighting robots, depressed teenagers, aliens, corrupt secret government organizations, WETA Workshop... what more do you need?) link #2.

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy (Sam Rockwell is Zaphod, Ford Prefect is black, and John Malcovich is in there somehow... I'm going to love this movie! Still bitter that Jim Carrey isn't Arthur, though. Click the link, push the button, watch it go BOOM!-- then do it again. again.)

Ender's Game (they better not make this PG dammit. I'll scream, I will. You Brits will hear me all the way in across the Atlantic I'll be screaming so loud.)

The Talisman (STEPHEN KING! PETER STRAUB! SQUEEE!!)

The Last Unicorn (the red bull is coming! not the drink.)

Serenity (Space pants! Captain Mal! Some people juggle geese.)

The Brothers Grimm (all your legends and all your fantasies rolled into one whacky almost-period-piece adventure film, including that fantasy about Heath Ledger and Matt Damon)

"His Dark Materials" books (I seriously ought to finish reading The Golden Compass)

Artemis Fowl (another series I have not yet read, but have heard the name...)

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion The Witch, and the Wardrobe (I read this when I was young enough not to know it was disguised Christian mythology, which means that I still think a walk-in wardrobe is a pretty cool place for interdimensional travel)

---

Let's just sit back and bask in the temprorary coolness of being a Science Fiction / Fantasy fan and Hollywood's new target demographic.

Mmmmmmm.... yummy.

His Dark Materials (I seriously ought to finish reading The Golden Compass) That's so cool, I literally just finished the Golden Compass this morning!! Lurve that book, wish I had read it years ago.

I started twice, the last time being 2 years ago. But I only got about 1/4 of the way and stopped for a while, then never went back. I've thought about it though.
