Aww, that's really sweet about you and your dad. (I personally think there hasn't been a good biography of Orwell yet -- most of them are really slanted.)

I've heard about Pomegranate Gate! It sounds really good.

I am so not looking forward to that prequel either. Hell, if they could de-age freaking Samuel Jackson, why not Charlize? Or tell the story of how the wives convinced her to smuggle them out (because you know that must have been really something). But really it doesn't need a prequel. It was a fantastic movie -- work of art really -- all on its own.

(Pettily, she KILLED Immortan Jerkface, and it was SO cathartic. Why do we have to see him again?)
