The movie is directed by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifcfilms.com\/viewFilm.htm?filmId=519\">Gus Van Sant and released by IFC Films<\/a>. I have to say&#8230;so far, I&#8217;m intrigued.<br \/>What was I doing watching the Sci-Fi channel in the middle of the day, you ask? You&#8217;ll have to go to my <a href=\"http:\/\/aquafortis.blogspot.com\/2008\/03\/who-ya-gonna-call.html\">personal blog<\/a> for that story&#8211;I won&#8217;t taint Finding Wonderland with a discussion of Ghost Hunters. (My personal blog is not so sacred.)<br \/>Found out via my local <a href=\"http:\/\/stanislauslibrary.typepad.com\/stanislaus_library_blog\/2008\/02\/meyers-magic-re.html\">library blog<\/a> (rather ominously called The Dominion, for some reason) that Stephenie Meyer&#8217;s fourth book will be released in August, and that the actor who&#8217;s playing Edward in the movie was Cedric Diggory in the HP4 movie. I did not even recognize him, but then again, it was just Cedric Diggory&#8230;poor sap. Anyway, tonight I&#8217;ll be taking further advantage of the services of the library and crashing (well, not really; I was invited) a Friends of the Library meeting at which there&#8217;s going to be a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sixteenrivers.org\/books_authors\/opposite.asp\">poetry reading<\/a>.
