They've made a straight-to-DVD film of one of my favorite books of all time.
The trailers and commercials are incredibly dismaying to me. The write-up on IMDB comforts me some - the plot seems intact, from the reports there - but the fact that they're marketing this story as another sword-and-sorcery, Narnia knock-off, annoys me no end.
This is a brilliant, moving story. It is not a "fantasy" story; the Terabithia parts are minor, and never it is even hinted at that Terabtihia is a real place. It is very decidedly a shared invention that brings these two kids together.
Maybe I haven't read this book in 20 years, but I remember that much. I read and read and read it as a kid; I did a book report on it in grade 3 and read it again in grade 6 when it was assigned to my class, even though the teacher said I didn't have to 'cause I'd already read it a million times.
Why are people trying to mess with the good books?

Newsradio was on in the lunchroom today as I was eating lunch. I stopped reading my magazine to watch it. I laughed and laughed.

This is great - I don't post these quiz results too much here, but it's too good of a coincidence.
Not sure why I took the test, as I don't write, and much less science fiction, but:
Come on, that's awesome, right?
(No, I've never read anything by her.)

I know I've been lax in my KITH-fandom-online-obsessiveness lately; this is a good thing, everyone, and you should be happy for me.
However, I still love them, always will, and my dear friend, the legendary Barb Carr, has started a new forum over at KITHfan.org. I've just joined it and I hope it'll be fun; I seem to be enjoying the online fora lately.
Anyway, go on over and join it and chat with us if you're inclined towards such things. I'd love to see an inclusive, active forum for them again...
