Hunger Games movie poster extraordinaire!

This has to be the coolest movie poster for what I hope is going to be the coolest movie series (after Harry Potter, natch) in the world. I'm sure many of you have seen this and are ooohhing and ahhhing over it but I needed to have it on my blog so I could say I had a little part of The Hunger Games of my own.

And, thanks to Entertainment Weekly (of which I am a long time subscriber and huge fan), we also have some photos from the set of The Hunger Games.

Are You Watching? War Horse movie trailer

So, I've been meaning to read War Horse by Michael Morpurgo for quite some time. I saw the outstanding scene from the Broadway play based on the book on the Emmy broadcast (who knew I would see something more amazing than the animals created for the Lion King production?). Now I've seen the trailer for the movie and I really, really need to get on the ball and read the book. (Steven Spielberg really knows how to make a war movie, doesn't he? Geez, just the trailer almost made me cry--stupid background music.)
