Looking forward to Where the Wild Things Are.

Would love to see a good, accurate big-screen version of Le Guin's Wizard of Earthsea.

We've already pointed out the lameness of the live action version of Earthsea. I got my hands on the anime adaptation of Earthsea. Lame for a whole different set of reasons.

It is such an excellent, well-told story, it is a shame that it has been messed about with. Le Guin herself has spoke about her disappointment with the adaptations. There appears to be no such thing as fool-proof in Hollywood.

Make something more foolproof, Hollywood will bring you a better fool.

Ah, that reminds me, I'd like to see Bloodsucking Fiends: a love story. And possibly Lamb, although I can imagine ten kinds of fit being thrown about that.

"seven ancient (deadly in the us) wonders" by matthew reilly, kinda cheesy action movie but with good actors and good filmakers (perhaps even mutant enemy) it could be a high-quality one
