[ feelin’ | haaack! ]

thursday…two more days til the long weekend. woo! granted its really just one extra day of rest, but i suppose at this point in your life every day counts. azkabans just a week away, and the reviews still keep coming. aicn has a pretty glowing review today by quint, who decribes the film as the potter movie others should strive to be. go cuaron. heres to hoping newell continues cuarons rockin’ work.

quint also posted a review for the day after tomorrow, which he liked alot too. he notes that while theres plenty of cheese and plenty of improbable situations (emmerich freely admits to taking some “artistic license”) but points out that gyllenhaals plot is pretty coo. im all for watching the movie when it comes out, but will probably wait til after the crazy memorial day weekend rush. a wave of little potter fans i can handle…massive throngs of holiday movie-goers i can do without.

MASTER OF SPACE AND TIME
and a final bit of movie news…ign reports that michel gondry has his eyes set on adapting rudy ruckers book master of space and time as a movie. jack black is already attached to the movie, which follows the misadventures of two scientists who invent a machine that can turn their imagination into reality. seriously, where does gondry find this shit? the dudes like a laser-guided missile. anyhoo, for the time being tho, gondrys working on the science of sleep, and black will be working on peter jacksons king kong.
