Message in a Bottle

I was practicing that song on Rock Band hard drums. Man, when you THINK about the rhythm you mess up. Note to self: "don' t think". I got through it in the end though, so it's all good.

Today, I went to go see 17 Again. Sarah couldn't stop laughing. Apparently it was partly due to the fact that the guy next to us had a very creepy laugh. Also, that guy started singing along ot "Fergilicious" when it came on before basketball game. :S

Long critical review (with dork moment at the end):
---
Despite the continuity errors, it was an enjoyable movie. I almost don't want to bring out possible editing blips because I want to say that it was genuinely a good film. The story line was a mash of Big, Back to the Future, and some original-not-so-original fluffy sub-plot. Shankman did okay but I think the real genius-i were the writers. The dialogue was spunky, fresh, and kept me happy.

The editing and choice of shots on the other hand is another story. I understand some parts were meant to be a little overlapped but why so many? Also, this might be the actor's problem, but I noticed when cutting from one shot to the next the actor was doing something else or in a different position. That seems like a very amateur mistake to me. I'm not pointing any fingers *cough*zacefron*cough* but that really broke continuity.

Okay, read the rest before ya'll get mad at me for that Zac Efron thing. I believe this guy has a lot of potential, sure. He's on the rise and he's probably going to have great roles coming up for him but I think this guy needs a little more expierence on the big screen before he tries to take on an Oscar-esque movie. His acting in the movie was pretty good and at moments his "dad" character was really showing and genuine but the little things kind of blew the 10/10 ranking for him.

Other than Efron, Tom Lennon was perfect. I loved his character, too. You should've seen me in the theatre. When he was on his not-date with the principal and they started speaking Elfish, I freaked out. I told Jennie, "OHMYGOSH, THEY'RE SPEAKING ELF!" She gave me a "wtf" face and ignored my spazzing. Also, I. Want. His. House. He has LUKE'S LANDSPEEDER for a bed. And a Tatooine backround on his wall. (A New Hope LOVE!) Plus, his clone shock trooper coffee thingy? Awesome. The lightsaber battle had to be my favorite part of the movie.

Ahem...so that leads me to the new game me and Kev got- Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. We only have one mission left. I find Felusia much more annoying than I used to. Them warriors are tough cookies.

If you couldn't tell, I love Star Wars.

I also love The Lord of the Rings, which is how I knew the Elf thing. I don't know if they were speaking Quenya or the other one, though.

Spring break's over. That was quick. And unproductive.Here's an old family picture from Christmas I touched up. My cousins are groovy. And kinda old. XP

Baby, It's You

I went on iTunes 2007 Essentials and listened to the songs. Flashback, much? Yeah, that title song is by Jojo way back in the day. It was stuck in my head.

So, I started off spring break with five rejections.
... Not THAT kind of rejection. I proposed my film club to five teachers and they all declined. On top of that, the two film studies teachers already said no. (FYI I am NOT merging with the comedy club guy. Seriously.)

Plus I've got homework. Lots of it.

On a better note, I found out how to get distinguishable dialogue on Doug. YAY!

Anyone going to be free over Spring Break? I was thinking the last weekend we could go watch 17 Again. It looks fun.

But hopefully I'll see all y'all before the last weekend of break. :D

Don't Think Just Do

Well, I'm enjoying Hump Day's late start right now. Thought I'd put in a post.

In the last week....I've been working. You know, position paper and all. But on the bright side, there wasn't any conditioning the last two days. I do have conditioning today, however. :(
School's normal. Oh, I'm trying to make a Film Criticism and Appreciation Club (or just film criticism. I need to talk it over with my cabinet XP)

I went to the 168 Hour Film Festival on Saturday. It was at the Alex Theater in Glendale. I was there to support a friend of mine that produced a short film being shown there. It won Best Picture, Best Sound Editing, Best Supporting Actor, Best Editing, and two other awards. The whole experience was really nice. Glendale is so Old Hollywood-esque. I love it.

Yeeah. That was the main going-ons in my life. Pretty dull life, I know.

Popularity Progress:
Well I'm trying to get my mom to get me this camera. but I might be able to get better sound on Doug. My producer/ editor friend told me now. Still, it'd be cool if I got this professional camera. :]

OH- and I found out this girl finds me attractive. Great. It was all because of that picture. That one picture.

SPRING BREAK T-MINUS TWO DAYS!
