Bits and Pieces

This post is a bit of a grab bag, things that I’ve been meaning to mention but haven’t gotten to yet…

A few people asked if I had seen the new Star Trek movie yet. I have! I rambled on a bit about it here , so head on over if you’re interested. Be warned, there are spoilers (under the cut), so be careful if you haven’t seen it yet.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While at the movies I saw the cut-out for the upcoming Coraline movie, which I am very much looking forward to. (Picture’s a little dodgy, I’m sorry, I was in a rush)

I’m so looking forward to it, in fact, that I got over my fear of spoilers to look up the trailer.

Tomorrow night Wendy and I are going to listen to Catherine Jinks (author of, among others, The Reformed Vampire Support Group) give a talk at our local library as part of the Sydney Writer’s Festival. Yay!

I’ve been meaning to thank Wendy for this award – THANKS! I’m so glad that you agree with my flannel-theories :)

My Sister’s Keeper

Oh oh, I’m so excited! And yet also so worried. I know it’s not going to be the same as the book, I know I’ll probably be cranky but still – so excited.

I don’t know about everywhere else, but it apparently comes out in July here in Australia.

Embedding has been disabled, but head over here to see the trailer.

 

 

Jodi Picoult:
"I had the chance to see the movie when I was on tour in LA. Yes - it ends differently from the book. And yes, you’re still going to like it The acting is phenomenal; the movie is beautifully shot; and I highly recommend investing in Kleenex before you go."
