forever and ever is a very long time;

I want this to be amazing so badly. HAVE YOU COME BACK TO ME DISNEY? I really like the character designs (HELLO PRINCE NAVEEN), and I'm sure the music will be great. Dr. Facilier looks like he might be a Jafar/Ursula type, WHICH WOULD BE AWESOME. 3D animation can be really fantastic (Pixar, hell, I loved Meet the Robinsons), but OMG TRADITIONAL ANIMATION YUM.

Warner Bros. has officially picked up Death Note. ZEFRON GET ON THIS SO YOU CAN BE A SRS ACTOR. If they honestly treated this like the supernatural-psychological drama/thriller it is, I think it could be decent.

Damn, I can't believe Death Note ended almost two years ago. :/

Almost summer!

BASTIAN, SAY MY NAME.

The Childlike Empress still freaks me out. And Bastian continues to be one of the most unfortunate names in existence.

I've been slowly but surely working my way through the newest Prince of Persia. It's pretty easy (even for me), but damn, do I love annoying Elika by pressing 'T' all the time. I LOVE TALKING TO HER. YUM BACKSTORY AND CHARACTER INTERACTION. The video card on our PC at home is a giant wimp, so I have annoying lag sometimes, but it's usually bearable.

Watchmen came in the mail last week, I finished that a few days ago. Everything about it was absolutely amazing: characters, plot, everything.

Also, some girl who's only seen bits and pieces of the original Star Wars trilogy retells it with deadly accuracy:


Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasn't seen it) from Joe Nicolosi on Vimeo.

I absolutely love that she didn't mention "LUKE I AM YOUR FATHER."

Went to see Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist, and was surprised to learn it was co-written by David Levithan. I really liked his other book, The Realm of Possibility. It seems like I read that such a long time ago! I was also proud of myself for spotting a Go! Team poster. Way to make me feel super cool, movie. It was a sweet movie, my fave character by far was Caroline, drunk friend extraordinaire.

Have to start signing up for next semester classes already. :/ But I'm actually kind of excited to take some art classes! Just Fundamentals of Art & Design and Basic Drawing, but I haven't taken a real art class since...eighth grade? Oh man.

Guess who's avoiding writing a three page paper about Dante as an atypical epic hero? It's me! I remember spending weeks on The Inferno last year, this semester we read a few cantos, now I have to write a paper and then that's it. I guess it's only an intro to Western Literature...

So while I am still angsting about Half-Blood Prince being pushed back (UGH), there are always new photos. BUT! I am very happy to have fall TV back! Heroes on Monday and House on Tuesday is more than I could ever ask for. Everyone is a Petrelli, but it's never lupus.

Rotten Tomatoes is releasing a Coraline featurette every day this week! The first three are here. I absolutely love Henry Selick's stuff (James and the Giant Peach and The Nightmare Before Christmas), and I think stop-motion animation is fantastic in general. I haven't read the book...I was trying to work my way through Neil Gaiman's stuff this summer, but the last thing I read was Fragile Things in June. D: The Tale of Desperaux also looks like it has gorgeous animation.

Went to see Prince Caspian today, and if the movie wasn't good (it was! I loved Edmund and the White Witch's cameo), the trailers were awesome! Brendan Fraser is back with a vengeance! Clone Wars looks good too, the animation was fantastic. The City of Ember looks interesting too. I love when all of the ridiculous summer movies come out. THE DARK KNIGHT FINALLY YESYESYES.

The Chronicles of Narnia is one of those series of books I could never get through when I tried to read them when I was younger (along with Anne of Green Gables. That first book drove me CRAZY), but I really feel like I should try again, especially if they continue to make the movies. They're already working on Voyage of the Dawn Treader, sheesh.

I'm finally out of school! I want to try and play some tennis this summer. :D
