*squee* I know how it will end (not well), and I know it will not have a single car chase or explosion, and I know I'll think much harder than I usually like after seeing a movie. But Agora, a movie about Hypatia of Alexandria, comes out in December!

www.imdb.com/title/tt1186830/

Rachel Weisz plays Hypatia.

14 is my new favorite number--go Smoke!
Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Penguins, 2009 Stanley Cup Champions!

Good buzz on Agora from the Cannes festival, plus it looks like they worked hard to keep things real (aside from Hypatia looking like, well, Rachel Weisz.) Hypatia is claimed as a Pagan by the Wild Hunt blog, which is Pagan; IMDB calls her an atheist. Either way, fundies will be pissed. Fine by me.
