| TheRealMattH | Hiya CM |
| *** TheRealMattH is now known as MattH |
| Elais | hi Matt |
| Elais | I remembered this time! |
| MattH | So I see ;-) |
| Elais | I had the day off, so that helped |
| MattH | Really - that is always nice. |
| Elais | yeah |
| Elais | bought a christmas present for my mother |
| Elais | met her later for lunch |
| MattH | What'd you get her? |
| Elais | and bought the latest Astonishing X-Men at the comic book store |
| Elais | one of those book holder stands |
| Elais | and some stained glass coasters |
| Elais | not exactly sexy-sounding gifts |
| Elais | but I hope my mom will like them |
| MattH | Hmm...I wouldn't want to get my mom "sexy-sounding" gifts ;-). They sound nice, though. |
| Elais | my mom eats a lot at the table and she usually reads while eating |
| Elais | thought having a book stand might be handy |
| Elais | but she is a mom, she would probably like coal if that is what I gave her *g* |
| Elais | I'll be driving up to my mom's Christmas day |
| Elais | then we'll open presents and have Christmas dinner |
| MattH | I'll be heading over to my brothers...I don't think my mom made it down, but I haven't heard anything yet. |
| MattH | So..have your preodered your copy of the next Harry Potter book? |
| Elais | nope |
| Elais | I can wait until someone else gets a book and borrow it off of them |
| Elais | the only thing I have pre-ordered recently is the season seven dvds and a couple of Spike figures |
| MattH | I know I couldn't wait that long...I am hoping they will have the same day arrival that they did for OOTP. |
| Elais | I wonder how big it will be? |
| MattH | 820 or so pages IIRC... |
| Elais | that's a lot |
| MattH | It *is* pretty hefty, but I like long stories.. ;-) |
| Elais | how many books in total? |
| MattH | There will be seven...this is #6. |
| MattH | I am just wondering who dies... |
| Elais | i'm sure there will be lots of speculation |
| Elais | any ideas on the half-blood thing? |
| MattH | Fang ;-) |
| Elais | LOL |
| Elais | the pressure must be incredible |
| MattH | Well...I figure that he could have had a former owner....and dogs are often named Prince... |
| Elais | I mean for Rowling |
| MattH | She is also pregnant with her third child.... |
| Elais | that'll keep her busy |
| Elais | can't imagine handling one child, let alone three |
| Elais | but she can afford plenty of nannies if she wants |
| Elais | the marketing blitz for the new book will be horrendous |
| MattH | It is already #1 on Amazon.... |
| Elais | it is on preorder already? |
| MattH | Yup...as of yesterday.... |
| Elais | wow, i thought it wouldn't be published until next spring or summer |
| MattH | July 16....it is on preorder 16 months in advance. |
| Elais | man, they dont' waste any time raking in the money |
| MattH | Well....you don't get billed until the book ships... |
| Elais | true |
| MattH | Pre-order is a lot cheaper too...$17.99 versus about $29.99 MSRP./ |
| Elais | but that kind of lead time? |
| MattH | It was like that for OOTP, IIRC |
| Elais | read any of the harry potter fanfic? |
| MattH | Hmmm....a company cloned a cat for $50,000 |
| MattH | Yup....most of the fanfic I read nowadays is HP.... |
| Elais | any particularly good sites? |
| MattH | http://www.launchpadzero.net/index.php?name=fanficrecs.html gives some of my favorite fics although Year of Rebellion (one of my top 3) isn't on there. |
| MattH | http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPYOR_archive/files/ for Year of Rebellion |
| Elais | I will try that Acceptance of Fate fic |
| Elais | I take it you're not into the slash stuff? |
| MattH | No slash for me....jess not interested.... |
| MattH | I also like stories that don't rewrite characters personalities....i.e. make Draco a hero or Snape loveable. |
| MattH | Realizations is also excellent. |
| Elais | thanks for the recs |
| Elais | give me something to read over the weekend |
| MattH | Yeah....AOF is at about 56 or so chapters now. |
| Elais | hmmm, I wonder how Aeon Flux will turn out |
| MattH | Never watched it. |
| Elais | I saw a number of the cartoons when it aired on MTV |
| Elais | thought it started out strong, but I lost interest towards the end |
| Elais | not sure I'm interested in the Electra movie |
| Elais | have yet to see Daredevil |
| MattH | I'm not - I never really liked Daredevil and Electra interests me not at all. |
| MattH | I think the next film I'll see is probably Goblet of Fire...or maybe Serenity. |
| Elais | Sin City might be cool |
| Elais | Serenity has been pushed to September |
| MattH | I know...probably about the next time I will go out and see a film |
| Elais | not sure what film I go to see next |
| MattH | I don't even know what is planned for release in the next few months. |
| Elais | I'm not sure either |
| Elais | 'Son of the Mask' |
| Elais | Constantine |
| MattH | "Son of the Mask" as in Jim Carrey? |
| Elais | yeah, but as far as I know, Jim Carrey isn't in it |
| Elais | Mirrormask is premiering somewhere soon |
| MattH | Hmmm....I smell a bomb... |
| Elais | Cursed from Wes Craven |
| Elais | yeah, I seem to remember a trailer that had a baby wearing the mask |
| Elais | I expect it to be a bomb as well |
| MattH | I considered going to see "A Series of Unfotunate Events" but then I remembered that I didn't like the books.... |
| Elais | I never read the books, but I've heard they are depressing |
| Elais | not a huge fan of Jim Carrey |
| MattH | KInd of ... not as depressing as the "His Dark Materials" trilogy or something by Michael Moorcock, but they are kind of down.. |
| Elais | thought they were developing His Dark Materials for the screen |
| MattH | I checked out Movifone....nothing interesting coming out in the next few months. |
| MattH | Wouldn't surprise me.... |
| Elais | Hitchhikers might be good |
| MattH | Maybe...I saw the original tv show, though...which I liked....the books went downhill after #3 |
| Elais | I liked the original tv adaptation |
| Elais | I think I'll bug out a little early |
| Elais | thanks for the harry potter recs! |
| MattH | Ok - here is one more http://www.geocities.com/cygnusff/novellength.html |
| MattH | CYA next week... Have a Merry Christmas |
| Elais | thanks! |
