On a lighter note, TNT will air their new movie The Librarian: Quest for the Spear Sunday night at 7 PM. I posted on this topic before, but now more exciting details about the film have been revealed.
A few highlights: "nerdish bookworm" Flynn Carsen (Noah Wyle), who has earned 22 (!!) degrees at the age of 30, receives a mysterious job offer from the Metropolitan Public Library. After Carsen accepts the job from the Head Librarian (Bob Newhart), he learns that the library is home to some of history's greatest treasures, including the real Mona Lisa, Excalibur, and (well, you knew this had to be included, right?) the Ark of the Covenant. One of these priceless artifacts is the "Spear of Destiny," which has the fabulous power to grants its owner control over the world's destiny. (You can't make this stuff up. Well, okay, obviously someone can, but not I). A piece of the Spear is stolen by the evil Serpent Brotherhood, who, with a name like that, just can't be up to anything good. It's up to Carsen to recapture the Spear from the Snake People, and action, adventure, and romance ensue.
Hmm. I'm sorry to say that I think most Dungeons & Dragons modules have less ridiculous and hackneyed plots, but then, I'm a sucker, so I'll definitely be TiVO-ing this. Here's hoping it falls into the "so-bad-it's-good" category.
