Bad news. Not the worst news, granted…there’s plenty of that to go around. But still. Very bad. Tom Hanks is seeking to remake the classic “Ikiru“. Akira Kurosawa must be spinning in his grave.
Also heard some odd news. Sleater-Kinney is touring with Pearl Jam. Arena rock riot grrrls. Could be worse.
And finally, a couple of things in the better news category:
1) Yo La Tengo’s new release, Summer Sun, came out today. I’ll have to wait ’till pay day to pick up a copy…but it’s something to look forward to; and
2) there’s more on the way from the fantastic Philip Pullman. The author has more planned for Lyra…thankfully he left the last book wide open for sequels.
