Doyce quotes Bujold on the new Two Towers movie, which she got to see in advance.
Short, non-spoiler review:
Oh. Yes.
Longer version: This was very fine. […] As with the first film, I could spot quite perfect renditions of elements from the novel, over and over, just as described, which always made me want to cheer. It still stuns me that they managed to get anything this good past the Hollywood system.
Jackie offered to sit for Katherine if we wanted to go see it on Wednesday night. It is a sign of my passion for this that I am actually considering the offer, even given that we fly out of town on Thursday night, and I’m tied up Tuesday night, and we’re so frelling busy this week …
UPDATE: While, thank God, the nattering nitwits who accused the studio of “exploiting” 9-11 by releasing a movie with the obvious rip-off title of The Two Towers have pretty much quieted down, my fingers keep typing “Twin Towers” instead, anyway. Caught it this time, but I know I’m going to slip, dagnabbit.
