Invasion!!

Here's Eisley in concert, playing Invasion. In an unrelated note, Orson Scott Card has a great review of the new Harry Potter Movie at: http://www.hatrack.com/osc/reviews/everything/2007-07-13-extra.shtml

Eisley!

Eisley was really good last night. I knew they would be, of course, because I love them, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun they are live. Sherri (sp? in the middle) is hilarious, has the best dry, sarcastic sense of humor that kept the crowd cracking up all night. I can't get over how good those girls' voices are! It was great...the highlight was definitely "Invasion" ( "it's about aliens...I guess I don't have to say anything more..."), that was really well done. And now I can't wait to get their new album in August. Sounds like it'll good.

This guy named Wesley Jenson opened for them. He sounded a lot like them, actually. Sang with thier little sister. Friendly chap.

For those who haven't seen it yet...this looks like one of the best movies of the summer.

Stardust - Trailer

Posted Apr 03, 2007

In a countryside town bordering on a magical land, a young man makes a promise to his beloved that he'll retrieve a fallen star by venturing into the magical realm.

I've discovered that I don't really like people who are obsessive about the operating systems they have. Nearly all of them bay for Bill Gates blood and regard themselves as the gods of the computer world. How to make them understand...it doesn't matter. Bill Gates was a fabulous marketeer and understood faster than most people that the future was in software. Then he took over. Not his fault if his products are marginally dysfunctional. Sheesh. At least they're usable, and for most people....that's enough. So let's leave it at that. It's not that important. On the other hand, I am going to see Eisley tonight and am super happy about that.

as regards one of the previews below

What's up with the preview for The Dark is Rising? I finally got around to watching it, and then realized that I actually remembered that book and have the distinct impression that this movie is not about to capture the spirit of the book. I have memories of this series being cool because the books were creepy, not campy. I'm disappointed. On the other hand, it's hard to be depressed when you're listening to the Mamas and the Papas. All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey. I've been for a walk on a winter's day. CALIFORNIA DREAMIN' ON SUCH A WINTERS DAY!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't even like California, but the song makes me happy.

Trailers!

Walden Media seems to be quite busy these days adapting famous british childrens' fantasy books... And here's the old Golden Compass Trailer...

WHERE'S THE REST OF ME!!!???

Yeah. I finally saw King's Row, with Ronald Reagan (minus his legs). I really liked it, in spite of the other main character (one Robert Cummings) and his strained expressions. Do you think it bothers Christopher Hitchens that his name is, well, Christopher? What with the whole "religion is poison" schpeel that gets him his bread and butter, it might lead to awkward questions. "Why are you name Christ-bearer?" Therefore I have decided to re-christen (hehe) him Destiny Hitchens. Still catchy.
