Read the Millennium tri...@ Black_Dog_Diary - I may! Read the Millennium trilogy while I was on holiday late last year, by the seaside in sweet, sunny Croatia, despite plans to finish some SF&F sags I've been in the middle of for years, now. The first two books were just lying there; I could hardly resist, could I?<br /><br />I think I'm okay with how The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest concluded. What with Larsson's sudden death and his plans to write 10 books about Lisbeth Salander, I'd honestly braced myself for much less closure than there was. Apparently there's half of a fourth installment caught in the middle of some legal dispute, too. Do not want, thank you.<br /><br />@ Sam Sykes - It's been on my radar for ages. I used to love my anime, not that Avatar was anime in the strictest sense, but I'm mostly apathetic about it now. Maybe The Last Airbender cartoon will bring me back. I've only ever heard good things.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08713791516631476930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498739347909985243.post-45108424003942737052010-01-29T09:39:16.989+00:002010-01-29T09:39:16.989+00:00Black_Dog_Diary here : sorry, couldn't post a...Black_Dog_Diary here : sorry, couldn't post any other way today<br /><br />@Sam Sykes - LOL.<br /><br />@ The Spec Scot - You've piqued my interest with the first 2 & last 2 movies above. Also, thanks for the review of Hand of God. Not really tempting me to start with, but thanks for helping me save the time. I may visit it again when others have critiqued it but for now, I'll wait. <br />You may, or may not, (I'll vote the latter) be interested to know I've finished, finally, the Millenium Trilogy. I'm happy with it overall but was a bit disappointed by the relative abruptness of the ending. Such a long way to go to such a quick conclusion. <br />Cheers . . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498739347909985243.post-18220134804569471142010-01-28T23:52:42.053+00:002010-01-28T23:52:42.053+00:00It's a shame, really. Avatar: The Last Airben...It's a shame, really. Avatar: The Last Airbender was an exceptional show. I don't mean "for a cartoon," either, it was genuinely very good in terms of story, character and action.<br /><br />Shyamalan is a fecal Midas, though; everything he touches turns to shit.<br /><br />Also, I hear Legion sucked.Sam Sykeshttp://www.samsykes.comnoreply@blogger.com
