Correction: The sequel to the book version of Howl's Moving Castle is Castle in the Air, not Castle in the Sky. But, I still want to see that movie.
I haven't....but I've heard of it, I think. Probably from Mercey or something.

Again, no, but I've heard of it, I think. I actually haven't seen a lot of movies recently, anime or not.

LOL Then why not move onto books? Not counting TP of course cause we both know that order and preference.

Hehe; sure. There's always Dragonriders of Pern. Love those. And supposedly, there's going to be a movie based on Dragonflight, but there's very little info on that. And the Abhorsen trilogy (also called the Old Kingdom books/trilogy), The Dresden Files (those are some really awesome books! Book 11, Turn Coat comes out just a week before Bloodhound! April is gonna be an awesome month!), and there's always LotR, Narnia, Twilight...and once upon a time, I was into Warriors...not so much anymore...
Hows about you?

Out of all those books there's only two series that I haven't read. LOTR and the Dresden Files. There is gonna be a Dragonflight movie! I can't wait to see it! It comes out in 2011 I think.

You haven't read the Lord of the Rings? *gasp* That is a must! I read those when I was twelve (or thirteen...I don't really remember). And then I watched the movies with my dad. Loved those movies.
The Dresden Files is an excellent series, but there's a lot of swearing and a couple of steamier scenes in a couple of books...
And, as far as I've looked into it, you are correct about it being in 2011, but there's nothing other than the title and page on imdb.com and only a mention of it on Anne McCaffrey's website, so there's not much to find anywhere...

Yeah I know. I might eventually get around to reading LOTR my older sibling has them. I have a bunch of books I need to read or that look good. I would suggest the book Graceling. TP left a review for it and gave it big praise.

I saw that on her LJ. I need some new fantasy and sci-fi books, so I may just check that out...
LotR is totally awesome. I'm going to reread The Two Towers and maybe The Return of the King when I go on vacation at the end of April. And then I'm going to reread the Sword of Shannara trilogy again. Those are some really awesome books! And even better, the first book of the trilogy, The Sword of Shannara, is going to be made into a movie in 2010!

The first one, called the Sword of Shannara, is about the Ohmsford brothers, Shea and Flick. Shea is adopted, and partially Elven - he's the last remaining descendant of Jerle Shannara, an elf-king of old, and by birthright, the only one who can wield the Sword of Shannara. With the help of the Druid Allanon, they embark on a quest to save their world from an evil called the Warlock Lord...
These are awesome books, though very long, and I highly recommend them - and listening to The Masterharper of Pern CD while you read them.

M'ka I will note that and pull it out of my mental filing cabinet sometime soon.

Oh goody. No one I know, other than my uncle who gave me the book has read those books, so I'd like so see another opinion on them.

Awesome. I'm sure I've got a ton of other books to recommend...the lower to shelves of my non-Star Wars bookshelf (yes, I really do have one that is totally devoted to Star Wars...it's crammed, and I have a bunch of RotS memorabilia, as well as some stuff from the other movies) have two rows of books on them....
