So word on the street is that they're converting the entire Star Wars Saga into blu-ray for sale at Christmas and into 3D for a theatrical re release. I'd like that think that I'm above going to the theaters to see this, because of my dislike for 3D conversions, but who am I kidding? The chance to see Star Wars in theaters is just to great to pass up... I may have to get drunk to make it through Phantom Menace though.
So excuse the mobile phone quality of these photos! I had to work with what I had! SICK game last night, But I suppose any game is amazing when you up against the glass. Montreal vs. Flordia, in a winner takes all clash of the titans! Actually it was pre season but WHO CARES! There's something about banging on the glass and yelling that makes for such a much more tactile and invigorating hockey experience! That and I had a bottle of wine in me and any one who knows me know how belligerent and loud I get when drunk at sporting events.
A shout out to my wonderful date SLE who not only got us the most amazing seats in the house (girlfriend has a sweet job with sweet perks) but also to the two older guys sitting beside us, and the cute 10 year old behind us, who ate all of my candy and kept me updated on who all of the rookies were and how they were doing!
We worked it girl style, Habs jersey's (mine borrowed from my BF) tight pants and high heeled boots, as well as dinner and a BYOW before had! The only other was to roll is a 5 à 7 before, but alas we didn't have enough time.
Nothing says Montreal like Hockey! Can't wait for the regular season to start what with the play off last year and getting to watch the game up close this year, I feel like I'm really starting to be a big fan!
Renowned film editor Sally Menke was found Dead in LA. SHe was most known for editing QT films like Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill. After Lisa Lassek, she's one of the women in Hollywoods jobs that I want the most.
We never got his back story, and most likely never will... at least not on screen. I recently bought Wash's "Float out" oneshot, but haven't gotten around to readying it... I miss Serenity
Ladies and Gentlemen, my vote for the best worst movie ever
The Long Kiss Goodnight
Starring Gena Davis and Samuel Jackson, LKG tell the story of Samantha Cain (Davis) a housewife with amnesia who tries to find out who she used to be. *Spoiler Alert* Long story short she turns out to be a government trained assassin who has now become the target of her former employers and must use all of her training as well as the help of Mitch Henessy (Jackson) to survive... you know, that old yarn.
Now just to put it outthere, this movie is pretty bad... who bad you ask? So bad that at one point Davis steal a pair of figure skates, skates down a river to catch up with a car full of bad guys, does a double axle and shoots them all... no seriously.
That being said this movie features such gems as
"Die screaming motherfucker"
"The last time I got blown, candy bars cost a nickel"
"I never did one thing right in my life, you know that? Not one. That takes skill."
"Mitch: Oh, shit! Ah, that hurt like shit! Samantha: I know. That's why I distracted you first. Same principle as deflowering virgins. Mitch: Huh? What? Virgin - ? What? Samantha: Read it in this Harold Robbins book. Guy bites her on the ear. Distracts from the pain. Ever try that? Mitch: No, no, I sock 'em in the jaw and yell, "Pop goes the weasel.""
"Alley Agent: Good evening, pretty lady. How 'bout some company? Charlie: No thanks. I'm saving myself 'til I get raped."
I can't express how happy I am at the quality of these films. This franchise could have easily sucked the big one, lost half the cast, had diva leads and just not come out fast enough. Instead it is the cinematic experience (and literary for that matter) of our generation.
Wow, Hopefully this rumor has legs. Enders game is by far my favorite Scifi book. And with Scott Card actually writing the script, this could be legit! OSC writing the script does surprise me as much as him allowing this to happen at all! Everything I've read about him on the subject of an Enders Game movie makes me think he is extremely wary of the process and does want his book to be ruined. and lets face it, who can blame him. Science fiction books, and books in general don't always translate well to film. For the longest time fans have had to settle with the OSC approved graphic novel. Maybe With OSC involved, this movie will get off the ground and wont be half bad... here's hoping.
Love the cast for this! can't wait for it to come out! Hope Marsters gets to be a reoccurring villain!
And lets be honest... who doesn't love a marching band?!?!
UPDATE: *Spoiler Alert* The pilot was not great. When William Sadler, James Marsters and Norman Reedus are all killed of in the pilot , two within the first 3 minutes, I start to loose interest. Combine that with awkward and way too accelerated pacing, and you have one disapointed viewer. That being said it was a hour of television, good jokes, good cast, and a good set up for the season to come. Based on the merits of the pilot this show gets two more episodes worth of my attention before I make up my mind.

So I like to get crafty, Here some before and after goodness I've been participating in. I bought this set of chairs for 5$, they were shit brown, and ones had a faded yellow cushion and the other had a dirty white one.
So LF and I spray painted the bases white.
I then went to Faricville and picked up 2m's of this real cute fabric for like 5, and 2m of Therm-O-Webs Iron on Vinyl with cost me about 10$ (actually it ended up being 20 cause I have to go back for seconds as I messed it up the first shot. I cut out the right sized pieces, ironed on the vinyl, stapled the fabric over top the cushions and VOILA! SUCCESS!
I'm hopefully going to be able to keep these babies outside for at least another month, then I want to move them into my dining room or kitchen seeing as my current chairs are garbage (my next project, better chairs!).
