Be thankful that I didn't subject you to squeals of excitement at the release of 10 seconds of the "Eclipse" trailer (not to mention the trailer itself [you can read my thoughts on that here]). It was difficult as hell too considering that 1) we haven't seen much by way of publicity on "Eclipse" and 2) I love me both this book and director David Slade.
The "New Moon" DVD hits store shelves next week and it includes a preview of "Eclipse" but of course, that clip is already online (don't fret, I've tucked it at the end of this entry). I just saw it and I'm impressed. The trailer was a nice tease as to what we could expect but this behind the scenes video is even better. I'm happy to see some of the things I disliked in "New Moon" have been fixed (namely the make-up and Alice's hair!!!). It's still not a whole hell of a lot but what there is looks great!

The full meal deal is coming on Sunday but for now, here's a taste found via amyburrows.
I saw this on Mike Shinoda's site and after a little bit of searching discovered it's from a late 80's movie titled "Teen Witch". Oh, it's bad but oh so funny. Enjoy!
I kind of buggered up. I had emailed Dale and Colleen about podcasting on Sunday and then I bailed. I didn’t do it on purpose, I simply didn’t get up.
Walked down to K’s on Saturday night with the promise from hubby that we’d go and have a few drinks and then walk home - except a few drinks turned into way too many drinks and the next thing you know there’s poker, followed by Trivial Pursuit and god knows what else. It was 6AM when we finally staggered home and into bed. I didn’t get up until 4:30. Wasted day. We managed to take the videos back to Rogers, I made soup for dinner and that was the extent of my Sunday.
This goes out to my podcast buddies who tried to get in touch with me on Saturday and Sunday morning only to get no response:
Grovelling to follow.
I may have been MIA for a few weeks but I promise you that outside of a nasty cold, I've just been really busy.
Dale is pushing the boundries of comfort (in a good way) by forging ahead with new technology and to prepare for some video coverage of the 1st Annual Vancouver Brazilian Film Festival, we did a short video last night at the Vancouver Bookcrossing Meetup. It was good fun and I promised I'd share, even though I look worn down and was having a hard time with the microphone positioning, but overall, not a bad first attempt. The only other thing I have to remember is to not yell into the mic (like I do in the opening few seconds) but otherwise, not too bad. Enjoy!
A few cool things mentioned in the video:
- Rhizome Café - The great little coffee shop that hosts our monthly adventures
- Mike and Tony talk about Persepolis graphic novel while I (of course) go on about the movie
- Nardwuar the Human Surviette
- Diane recommends a great historical mystery by Michael Jecks titled The Mad Monk of Gidleigh
- Tony finishes off with a recommendation for Gregory Maguire's fabulously entertaining Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, a book I've read and highly recommend
- Wicked The Musical also comes up in conversation
So you weren't there? That's OK. We bring you the videos!!! You may want to consider turning down the volume on your computer to avoid blowing your ears care of the screaming masses of fans.
The Panel Q&A
And a great Q&A from the boys at AICN.
UPDATE:There's another clip of from the panel over at Empire. I'm impressed that Stephenie actually got louder screams than Robert Pattinson.
So this clip isn't *really* new, looks like it went up in June, but I hadn't seen it before so it's new to me and considering how many of these things I've seen, probably new to a whole load of others. Enjoy!
As with a whole load of other people out there in the world, I still don't know what I want to do "when I grow up". I have an idea but sometimes I'm reminded of things that I've loved over my life so far and I reminisce of what life would be like if I had followed a different path.
In my elementary and early high-school days, I was fascinated with paleontology and archeology. For a long time I though I wanted to study ancient cultures and civilizations and though somewhere along the line I moved beyond wanting to work in the field. I never quite gave up on the dream all together and I still take great joy and pleasure from a few odd classes here and there on the subject and occasionally, by a TV special.
TED has posted a video of Louise Leakey, another of the great clan, speaking to the crowd about human origins. She seems a bit nervous though I'll guess that perhaps she's more excited than nervous, but the talk is interesting and she has some amazing animations and photos I hadn't seen before.
Anyone that knows my taste in movies is probably aware that I have a soft spot for teen flicks and, in particular, ones with a whole lot of dancing.
I popped into Rogers Video yesterday to pick up a couple of new rentals. They didn't have what I was really looking for ("The Last Winter") but I did pick-up "Paranoid Park" and walking down the rows of new releases, I gave into the craving of "Step Up 2: The Streets". If you've seen one of these you'ver pretty much seen them all but as per usual, I had a good time talking to the screen.
Common curses:
"Are you serious?"
"Like I've never seen that before."
"You've got to be kidding me!"
"OMG."
I do give the movie credit for the excellent dance sequences, particularly the closing sequence which tops the ones before it. It's raining. It's dark. The lighting is perfect. Just the kind of thing you'd expect. Thankfully, there was enough good stuff to be satisfying. You can pretty much skip it (though Channing Tatum does make a small appearance and Robert Hoffman looks something this side of smoking hot in a pulled down hat) but you simply must take a look at the final dance sequence which blew my socks off.
