My wife and I watched 2010's "Centurion", about the 9th Legion that disappeared into Pict territory. What did I think? Well, the first 65 minutes of this 97-minute film was such a limb-chopping blood-spurting fest that I almost expected someone to start doing an impersonation of Monty Python's Black Knight. After that, the story shows a marked improvement when the few remaining Romans, on the run from very grumpy Picts, find refuge in the home of an outcast Pictish woman, played by one Imogen Poots. Yes, her name really is Imogen Poots.

Two thumbs down.
Or off.

I finished reading Connie Willis's "Blackout" last night. Tonight I'm moving right on to "All Clear", the story's 2nd Part.

This brings up a question I have about the Hugos.

Since they are really one big novel split into two books, not a duology, and since they were both published in 2010, does one nominate the combined books as one, or separately?
