Long time, no post...again

Things have hit a high, I'm not really sure what there is to post about. I'm watching Fido, pretty good so far, but that's about it right now. Tomorrow I have to be to school at 1 for a pre-pro meeting with Byron, Ralph, Adam and Nikki, but that's about all there is on my plate for the time being.

A Fear - One Among Many

I don't really know what it is, I haven't even liked Yellowcard since their last album, but I can't stop listening to this new song.

I can't tell what it is, but I think it has to do with the fact that I'm terribly afraid of the future I fear/know is coming. On top of that I'm afraid it's already starting to happen.

Since when does choosing your dream become selfish? Do your dreams include your friends, or are you alone?

I can't honestly say what or who my dreams include anymore. I'm glad for the friends I have, used to have, and may yet meet, but those I've lost? What of them? Did they fit in my dreams, or did I just never think of them in it?

I don't know if I chose me over my friends...or if I chose a future I wanted over settling.

I think a lot about the past. This song makes me wonder about the future. I don't know what to expect, but I hope that it's not all shadows and regrets. This is for those lost over the last four years, and those who I will know forever.

Mayor's Movies: His Dark Materials UPDATE!

So...for those of you who know me, you might know that Phillip Pullman's series has a special place on my shelf, right next to Tolkien's masterpieces, The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings. This being said, I'm glad that New Line Cinema's given both stories their opportunities to be seen on the big screen. I had my doubts that the immensity of The Lord of the Rings could be pulled off, but New Line astounded me by creating a fantasy worthy of the title Lord. Now, with The Golden Compass about to kick off the His Dark Materials trilogy, I'm ready and waiting...with reservation.

First off some SPOILERS are about to come forward in my post; I promise this will be the only paragraph, and if it's not, there'll be more spoiler warnings. DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT THEMES FROM THE BOOK TRILOGY TO BE SPOILED. The nature of the trilogy is that Lyra's father, Lord Asriel, is fighting a war against god, lower case g. God, once again lower case, is an angel, the first, who has assumed power and the title of Lord. How, in our neo-conservative culture does one MAJOR SPOILER ABOUT TO DROP kill god on film? I'm worried about the integrity of the movie and what this means about the plot if, as I assume, this will be dropped. But that's two Christmas' from now (ironic) and I don't have to worry about that immediately.

This is the only thing that's bothered me about this film since I heard that the rights had been sold nearly four years ago.

Anyway, last night and this morning some most excellent news came across the web. Casting news.

First off, the already known cast:

Nicole Kidman - Ms. Coulter
Daniel Craig - Lord Asriel
Dakota Blue Richards - Lyra
Sam Elliott - Lee Scorsby (The only one better would've been Ian McKellen)
Eva Green

This cast is picture perfect. With the exception of Dakota, of whom I've never heard, this is the strongest cast I can imagine for this epic. The casting director deserves an Oscar now for pulling this off.


Secondly, the polar bears:

Ian McShane - Iofur Raknison, the un-justified King of the Panserbjørne (Armored Polar Bear Warriors)
Sir Ian McKellen - Iorek Byrnison, the true King

Whoa! Great, great news. These two will be great, battling for the power of the Polar Bears. Things seems to be shaping up as the names keep getting added to the list.

What's that? There's more?!

Thirdly, Daemon updates:

Kathy Bates - Hester, Lee Scoresby's hare daemon
Kristin Scott Thomas - as Lord Asriel's Snow Leopard Daemon

And FOURTH!!!!

There's a great new trailer over at Yahoo...check it out!

Thanks to JoBlo for keeping up to date on these things...you guys rock!

What a day it's been: Travels, BSG Season 4, Dark Materials News...

Alrighty...what a day it's been.

Last night Victoria said something to me that I've been thinking for a while, but hadn't done anything about; "Why don't you go do something?...You tell all these stories about home, but you don't leave the apartment when you have days off," or something along those lines...this was about 23 hours and 30 minutes ago. So today I did something about it.

I went out in search of an adventure. While I might not have had a legit 'adventure' I definitely enjoyed the trip.

I left my apartment at 3:30 and didn't get home until 9:45.

My first instinct was to take a left out of my apartment complex. I've never been that way before, but it turned out to not be terribly exciting, just a subdivision with a bunch of houses.

From there I went to Altamonte Springs back to Winter Park, over to Cassleberry where I found a most excellent comic shop, ACME. Didn't have much time to check it out b/c they close at seven and I arrived at ten 'til.

After that I went to Winter Park Village and bummed around Borders until 8:30. before heading down to Colonial where my box is kept at Sci-Fi City. Picked up my comics, one of which I accidentally grabbed was $15, and I didn't find out until after I paid...schucks. But all is well.

I made it home in time for Damages, which is two episodes away from it's finale, and was expertly entertained for the 10-11 hour.

All in all a great day...other things that happened:

BSG Season 4
Dark Material News

Check 'em out when they're posted...

Things yet to come this evening include:

Studying
Pushing Daisies 1x02
Gossip Girl 1x04
and a few more post worthy events...

Fandango's Halloween Movie Costume

Alan Tudyk says Universal's on for Serenity 2!!!

Chud.com:

According to Moviehole, Alan Tudyk "They had to put [the new dvd] out because they've been selling out of the other one and so Universal's like 'So let's do another one'. And now...there's now a chance there's going to be another movie."


AMAZING!!


Let's hope this pans out.
