What are you looking forward to?

[Spriggan]

the guy incharge of the Hellboy make-up is the same guy that did the Grinch, say what you will about that movie but the make-up was amazeing.

[Mr_Pleasington]

Well, on top of Hellboy, I'm really looking forward to The Life Aquatic with Bill Murray.  It's another treat from Wes Anderson and the Wilson brothers.

Also, the Coen brothers reimagining of Ladykillers with Tom Hanks is high on the 'to see' list.

[Mistress of Darkness]

I am looking forward to Hildago as well. Horses and Van Mortensen, what more could a girl ask for?

I'm ashamed to admit that I am also looking forward to Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. I like L Lohan's work and was impressed by her performance in Freaky Friday. I think it would be fun to see.

Is Van Mortensen more closely related to Viggo Mortensen or to Van Morrison?

[House of Mustard]

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen is getting pretty horrible reviews.  Then again, almost all live-action disney movies get pretty horrible reviews.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

Maybe that's because they're pretty horrible movies.

[Mistress of Darkness]

Is Van Mortensen more closely related to Viggo Mortensen or to Van Morrison?

Ooops. I realized that I did that at  7:00pm on Friday, but was too lazy to admit it until now.

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen is getting pretty horrible reviews.  Then again, almost all live-action disney movies get pretty horrible reviews.

Eww . . . 15% on RT. I think I'll pass afterall.

Freaky Friday (also Disney) got an 89%, which is why I went to see it.

Thank heavens for RT.

Runelords.  Anyone heard of this?

2 things stand out to me:

1. it has begun...the first cinematic spawn of LotR.  It was bound to happen, given Jackson's fantasy trilogy's phenomenal success.

2. notice how they labelled it "epic adventure" and not "fantasy."  Veeery interesting.  I think everyone's realized that the genre is here to stay, and so they've found a term that doesn't scream "nerd."

[Brenna]

Yup, Runelords is Dave Wolverton's (under the name David Farland) book. Dave used to teach at BYU.  

He's actually been thinking about making a movie about Runelords for a while--he's been working on it for a couple of years now, and he's just now getting to the "about to film" point.  

He spent a long time planning and trying to start his production company.

[Fellfrosch]

I was in that production company for quite a while, but in the TV branch. It wasn't really a real company at the time, of course, but it was still fun. I'm kind of amazed that the Runelords movie has come as far as it has.

[EUOL]

I, for one, say "Go Dave!"  

This has been his dream for a long time.  I hope it turns out like he wants.  I'll certainly go see it--and drag some friends along.

So, since I'm all about pictures, and getting into film someday, lets say we run down a few basics with myself. I've seen some of these "resume" things people make for castings or auditions, and they usually include some kind of photo. So, lets start there. What say you about these two pictures of me, on a "resume."

If you're serious about performance of any kind, you need to have a professional headshot for your C.V. In nice clothes, with nothing around your neck, with a nice background. Have you seen other headshots? I'd suggest you look at other performers' headshots and get your ideas from that.

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

Yeah, I have. I was looking around for some places on the web today at work. I have however since then, shaved and gotten a haircut.

two bits!
