Month: October 2004

I’ve watched a lot of movies lately, some on my own but most in my Film Studies class. In keeping with tradition, I’ll give you a quick review:

Fast Times at Ridgemont High – The original teen movie. I liked it, though it is getting a bit dated.

Back to the Future – This timeless classic is great no matter how many times I see it.

Blue Velvet – Thumbs way down – don’t even ask.

BladeRunner – I probably wouldn’t recommend this. It’s ok, but REALLY slow pacing almost put me to sleep a couple of times.

Spiderman 2 – Excellent show. Way better than the first one. I really liked the fact that this story was a lot more character / story motivated whereas the first one was really just special effects driven.

In other news the TV show Everwood, that plays on the WB, was scouting for locations to shoot down in Utah. They were very interested in Anna-Maria’s parents new house. The director even came and talked with them, but in the end it was decided that the house was too big because the character they were going to have “live there” is a batchelor, and will probably live in something a little more modest.

They are going to keep the house in mind for other shows or whatever, but what’s really interesting, to me anyway, is that Anna’s mother asked what the chances of getting Anna in the show as an extra would be. They said to send in headshots because they are always looking for extras. I guess if they had wanted to use the house that would have given her a lot more leverage but there’s still a chance she could get on the show. I think that would be really cool.

I’ve been pretty busy lately with swimming and school, oh and work, oh and trying to fit painting my room in there too; not to mention lifting weights, yoga, and core strenth training.

Yesterday for a break I decided to work on some graphics for a video game I am making. Here is a sample of an elf I created. I’m not sure if I will make him the main character or not, yet.

I need to work on the animations still, right now they are just two frames consisting of slightly modified mirrors of themselves. The game will also have them bob up and down as they walk.
