Oh wow, PC. I saw an article a day or two ago that his cancer was back...but man, that was fast. RIP indeed.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My sister IM'ed me about it and I thought she must have misread one of the articles about his cancer/leave of absence. Wow.
End of an era.

Because books.
That's what I thought, too, Suzi. So sad. But he battled it for a long time.
Also, what Jessica said.

Yeah, I saw the first RIP post on Facebook and was like what are you talking about, and then I saw the articles from yesterday, and then she quoted me the Tweet, and dammit.

Wow, that was fast! Except for how he's been fighting cancer for a long time. But I saw a post from him on my RSS feed just a couple of days ago...

It's sad, but I'm glad it was fast and he didn't have time to dwell on being unable to write.

Like P-C said, I didn't always agree with him, and sometimes on things he didn't like I thought he was belligerently NOT GETTING IT to make a point. But I always liked reading him. And watching him and Gene on Sneak Previews (and other incarnations) was always fun. I will miss him. When he loved something, he really loved it and was very expressive of why he did.
Although he was still dead wrong on The Phantom Menace being a great movie. Ce la vi. RIP Roger.

All the buzz about End of Watch was true. Damn, that was a good movie.

I saw that preview a gazillion times (due mostly to how many times I saw The Avengers), so I got burned out on it just from the trailer. It looked extremely tense.

I don't think I ever saw a trailer for it. I just kept reading about it. It's actually not an extremely tense movie, except for some scenes. But it's so engrossing that I would have watched those two cops do anything. Like, literally, if there had been a scene of them reading the phone book, I wouldn't have cared because I liked them so much.
