Susan Cooper’s The Dark is Rising is on its way to theater screens. Soon. I didn’t get goosebumps watching the trailer or anything. (“I’m an awful liar, aren’t I, darling?”)
If just one line from the first book makes it into the script, I’ll be happy. One line. “A foolish move, friend Smith. We shall not forget.” (And if it happens, it’ll be Christopher Eccleston delivering it. Could anything be more perfect?)
It could be good.
Or, it could be directed by the same guy who did “The Path to 9/11″… oh crap.

Um. I think the great and learned sage Fin Fang Foom might have put it best:
HURK.
Unexpected this is. And unfortunate.
