The Green Chain

This will sound a lot more confused than it is. On RollBots, one of the writers is a cool guy named Mark Leiren-Young… he’s made a movie called The Green Chain, which (to snag the text from IMdB) is:

The battle between loggers and environmentalists is defining, dividing and destroying communities in Canada and around the world. The Green Chain is a powerful, funny and thought-provoking film about the conflicts between people on both sides of the battle who love trees — and are willing to risk anything to protect their personal visions of the forest, and our planet.

I haven’t seen the movie, but based on Mark’s writing and other performances, I’d say it’s a fairly safe bet it’s fantastic. He’s got a knack for writing brilliant scripts

Other things to check out: a write-up in Slice of Sci Fi, the official blog, and the MySpace site…

When it comes out, see it. That’s as close to an order as I can give to a group of disembodied entities reading a blog.

I shall now return to the dungeon.

If you want to know why I haven’t had time to post much in the last month*, read this and you should gain some insight.

All I can say is: Phew!

And, er, I still have many months left to go. But at least now you know why!

* Okay, my lack of posting isn’t related to that at all. It’s just a convenient excuse. Feh.
Also: I will definitely be posting the Swedish and Dutch translations of the Pig and Crow books, as well as the Panda book (honest!) sometime before the end of the summer!
