What I'd like to see

For 2011, a lot of good movies seem to be coming out. These are the 5 I'd like to see the most:
1. Gnomeo and Juliet
It looks funny, and I love Shakespeare, so this could be great.
Synopsis: Gnomeo and Juliet is a computer-animated family film based on William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet featuring two garden gnomes in forbidden love. The couple looks to find lasting happiness and avoid tragedy as they are caught in the middle of a feud between blue and red-hatted garden gnomes.

2. The Tempest
I (again) love Shakespeare, especially The Tempest, and the trailer is... interesting (the end of it is beautifully done).
The Tempest is a 2010 American comedy-drama film based on the play of the same name by William Shakespeare, in which Prospera, the duchess of Milan, is usurped by her brother Antonio and is cast off on a raft to die with her four-year-old daughter Miranda. They survive, finding themselves stranded on an island where the beast Caliban is the sole inhabitant. Prospera enslaves Caliban and claims the island. After 12 years, Alonso, the king of Naples, sails back to his kingdom from the marriage of his daughter to the prince of Tunisia, accompanied by his son Ferdinand and Antonio. Prospera, apprehending her chance for revenge, causes a tempest, wrecking the ship and stranding those on board on her island.

3. Beastly
It's based on Beauty and the Beast (the book is much better than the Disney movie) and, while I wish they'd just made the guy hairy instead of all covered in tattoos with veins popping out, I'd like to see how close they get to the book (both the book Beastly and the book Beauty and the Beast)
Beastly is an upcoming fantasy romance film based on Alex Flinn's 2007 novel of the same name about Kyle Kingson, a handsome man with an evil streak, who disrespects a classmate, who is a witch in disguise, during an environmental event. The witch then casts a spell on Kyle and physically transforms him into a monster until he can find true love.

4. Tangled
I know it's already out. I'd like to see it because of all the good reviews I've heard of it (and because it's a fairy tale, duh).
Tangled is a 2010 animated musical film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios in which the magically long-haired Rapunzel has spent her entire life in a tower, but now that a runaway thief has stumbled upon her, she is about to discover the world for the first time, and who she really is.

5. The Brother's Grimm: Snow White
Snow White with Julia Roberts as the Queen. I gotta see this.
Relativity Media is working on "The Brothers Grimm: Snow White", directed by Tarsem Singh, it is set for release on June 29, 2012. Julia Roberts is attached and will be the Evil Queen.
No trailer yet.

In answer to your question, yes, I do only like movies having to do with my intended profession (folklorist/mythologist). How'd you know?

In case you're wondering...

My favorite shows:
1. Dan Vs. (The Hub)
2. Mythbusters (Discovery Channel)
3. My Wife & Kids (Nick@Nite, and most likely other channels)

My favorite foods:
1. Chocolate
2. Pomegranate
3. Any other thing on Earth that tastes good and is edible

Can you tell that I'm really bored?

The Aigis

The Aigis/Aegis, in Greek myth, was the breastplate ornament passed down from Zeus to Athene when Athene's friend Pallas died. Athene personalized it using some Gigante-skin and Gorgon-heads and ta-da, the aigis aqcuired the power of paralyzation to any who beheld it! Although constantly depicted as a breastplate ornament in their art, the Greeks would sometimes call it a shield (hence the modern confusion over the whole "shield or breastplate ornament" thing).
Okay, I've been trying to figure out why the aigis is sometimes confused as a shield. But then I just figured it out! The Greek "apsida" meaning shield, doesn't actually mean shield, but buckler, which isn't always meant to mean shield, but sometimes just an unspecified form of protection. So when the Greeks called the Aigis an "Apsida" they must've really meant some form of protection, which makes sense since the Aigis has a paralyzing power.

Bibliotheke

Bibliotheke (also known as Bibliotheka, Bibliothece, or Bibliotheca) is a work by Pseudo-Apollodoros, a 2nd century (whether B.C. or A.D. debated) author from Ancient Greece. Also known by its translated title as "The Library" or, more specifically, "The Library of Greek Mythology", it is possibly one of the largest compilements of Ancient Greek myth actually written in Ancient Greece. Covered in 3 books and an epitome are the Theogony, the Interactions of the gods, the god-wars, the House of Mykenai, the House of Krete, the House of Thebes, the House of Athens, and the Trojan war and its results. In a way, this is the straight-up best possible introduction to Greek Mythology.
Which is why Books 1-3 and parts 1-3 of the epitome will be made into a comic. By me.
First page (Foreward):

Merry Christmas!

I know it's a little late but I wanted to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I hope everybody got lots of awesome gifts, like I did (I got 'The Complete Dracula', both of Ben Caldwell's art books, and one awesome crucifix necklace above other things), and I also hope everybody was able to be happily with their families on this joyous occasion celebrating good will, generosity, and the birth of Christ.

Oh yeah and Happy Holidays to the peeps out there who aren't Christians bah humbug yadda yadda.
