Chota Mota on a Thursday

Sorry I haven't been about for a bit. All is well, I'm just busy with various RW matters. It looks like I am sort of in control of the List of Doom at the moment, which is a Good Thing. :-D

Here are just a few odds and ends which I found of interest in recent days, and which I thought worthy of sharing:

This is a real hoot! I wish we'd done something like this back when I was in Library School! Cart cartel carries it off

Sharpe fans, an update!!
In a recent interview with Sean Bean about various films he has coming out this year, the following bit of info was revealed:

"Question: Do you still get mail for 'Sharpe'?
Sean Bean: Yeah I do. There's thinking about doing a one-off right before Christmas which would be set in India which would be quite good. I'd like that."

So sign up for it already, why don't you? We're waiting....

The Island opens tomorrow, and I have been reading all kinds of interesting articles about it, with lots of spoilers. I won't share them here, but I just want to say, I am really looking forward to this film.

That's all for now, folks, back to mountains of laundry...

I want to see it with you, if it works out (and The Lad too, of course).
Chota Mota and Zippity-Doo-Dah to you, too. (((((hugs))))

Ok what is Sharpe about? I have not seen this one. The last one I saw with Mr. Bean was National Treause.

Click here for info about Sharpe, a television series Sean starred in a few years ago, based on a series of books by Bernard Cornwell:

There has been a rumor that they are planning on making a new film, and those who are keen on Sharpe are praying that it will happen!

Oh, yes.... please sign up for it! No one else can be Richard Sharpe!

Here's more on the possibility -- the info sounds similar to what Sean stated, but this also sounds kind of official as well. Wheeee!

we could always recruit our lj friends to send postcards to sean's agent again requesting/gently pushing him into thinking more serious about it. imagine - we could have at least 30 people between me and you send postcards. i still have the address. :D

How much you want to be those two will end up fighting one another in this film? Too cool for words!
