HOLY COW! How come no one told me about this until now? Apparently, Lori (GlockGal) and I won “Best in Show” (or something similar) at The Witching Hour for our Luna/Ron Valentine!
Does anyone know more about this? Were other artists awarded, and where can we see their stuff?
Oh! Forgot to mention that in class on Wednesday, we showed the class the audition tapes for the short film we’re producing, “Zeyen and Nazia.” I was offscreen, reading lines with the actor as they auditioned. We found an East-Asian guy we really liked, but we weren’t as happy with the crop of South-Asian girls. After seeing several, one of the guys piped up, “Can’t we just put Priscilla in makeup?” I was amused.
So last night I saw Mirrormask with Will, which was utterly phenomenal. If it’s playing near you, you really need to see it on the big screen! I’ve seen some reviews that say it drags on a bit long, but I was too spellbound to notice the time going by.
After the movie was over, I raced back to Annenberg (with five minutes to spare!) to see Aaron in Metamorphoses, which was great! They managed to bring the Funny without detracting from the Drama, which can be a fine line. One of my favourite bits was the directorial decision that the guys, in Ancient Greek thespian tradition, wear lipstick and eyeliner. Too funny for words.
And now, back to homework and Poli-Sci Midterm studying. WAH.
Woohoo! I have officially weaseled my way into a Cinema Studies minor! Also picked up laundry and sent package to Mum. Chungy, I sent your package Tuesday.
Yay! Just watched the 30 seconds my UPN didn’t air, and everything makes so much more sense now. And now, sleep!
I am SO CONFUSED. I think my local UPN affiliate just didn’t air an entire scene. I’m so glad Ko didn’t have dance class tonight, because I definitely needed a “Wha? What was this character doing and why?” partner. I can’t wait for my the VM fandom contingent of my flist to check in, so I can see if the episode indeed aired as I saw it.
Though I was amused to notice that the actress that played the psychic also played Amber Benson’s mother in Chance.
EDIT: Apparently, there was indeed a missing scene! Guess I’ll be waiting with bated breath for it to go on BitTorrent, like everybody else.
Lost fans: tonight’s and next weeks’ episodes are reruns. Why not take this opportunity to check out Veronica Mars, which airs on UPN at the same time? You won’t regret it!
Also, be sure to check out Season 1 on DVD.
How is this the first I’ve heard of the Boondocks TV show?
My meeting with Amy went swimmingly. The biggest problem I’ve had with my math/engineering classes is that all of it seems totally worthless. Well, it’s going to stop being worthless. I’m going to start an independent study with Norman Badler, and I’m going to learn how all this applies, and how to create special effects from scratch. This is exactly what I need! I don’t mind agony if it’s going somewhere cool. And this is what’s going to give me job security! Good, good stuff!
Also, while working out my schedule for this spring, I observed that I was two very cool-looking courses away from a Cinema Studies minor. I had bandied about the idea of minoring in Theatre Arts, but I need four more classes, and I wasn’t thrilled with the course selection. And I also found out that I can take Figure Drawing instead of the unexciting Drawing II to complete my Fine Arts minor! W00t!
Make an extra effort to smack down a bigot in her memory.
I don’t want to look a gift-horse in the mouth, but how is Mirrormask suddenly playing in Philadelphia? I’ve visited this page on at least three seperate occasions, and Philadelphia wasn’t even on the radar. Thank you, Will, for telling me about it! I would have missed it, and MAN would I have been kicking myself. There would have been bruises.
Anyway, Will and his friends are going this Saturday, so hurrah! I’ll have to gather some friends, and we can all go together. My people totally owe me for skipping out on seeing Serenity. *grins*
