I have to say that one thing I really liked was that Cornwell started the story by letting you know that it has a tragic ending.  And not just by saying it, but by setting the words in the freezing cold, spoken by a pseudo-Christian in a monastary run by a corrupt bishop.  

I suppose everyone remotely familiar with the Arthurian legend has got to know that it's a tragedy already, but I like how Cornwell comes right out and says it at the very very first.  It gives the story just the right tone in my opinion.

They'd still have to deal with books three and four even if she did.  I'm sure Ian McKellan will do a fine job and moviegoers will have no trouble adjusting.  They're already used to him as a wizard from LotR.  (Ian McKellan is who they got to replace Richard Harris, right?)

I use a Gamecube.  I only have three games on it, which I mostly play with my little sister.   And I get the most fun out of it with all the trash talking that goes on.

Hurraj for absurdity, foreign languages, and not understanding!  Hurrah!

If I really had my choice it would be one of those black velvet paintings of a sad clown (you know, one of those with the big glistening tear right below the eye.)

But as it stands this is my favorite poll ever.

OKay, you don't need to answer that.  I just read the "Games Suggestions" thread.
