Former Gov. Bob McDonnell of Virginia and his wife, Maureen, were accused Tuesday of taking more than $160,000 in loans and gifts in a quid-pro-quo relationship with a favored campaign donor, Jonnie R. Williams, Sr. The couple denied the charges and the courts will ultimately settle the accusation of criminality. Still, the federal indictment, with its glittery descriptions, reads as a How-Not-To manual for working politicians.
The First Couple face charges of accepting loans, clothing, jewelry, golf outings and free use of Mr. Williams' lakefront home, Ferrari sports car included. If convicted, the indictment says the McDonnells must forfeit black and white Louis Vuitton shoes, two gold Oscar de la Renta dresses, a blue Giorgio Armani jacket and two matching dresses, two sets of golf clubs, two pairs of Foot Joy golf shoes, a striped Peter Millar golf shirt and a silver Rolex inscribed "71st Governor of Virginia."
These are the sorts of details that catch the public's eye — and ensnare the politicians working in the nation's lobbying-rich statehouses, where symbiosis is the coin of the realm.

Leaning Towards NO on Inhaler Study
It is with a mixture of disappointment and relief that I convey my latest thoughts on participation in the inhaled insulin study. I'm definitely leaning towards No. It wasn't so much that a dear loved one looked me in the eye and said, "Why would you want to make yourself a gineau pig?", or even that a family member who happens to be a doctor essentially advised, "Say no to experimental drug studies across the…Read more »

Inherent Vice Sep 30 2014
I somehow didn't know or forgot that PT Anderson was doing a movie based on Thomas Pynchon's Inherent Vice. It turns out he totally is and here's the first trailer:
That looks entirely goofy and good.

Automata is a film directed by Gabe Ibáñez in which robots become sentient and...do something. Not sure what...I hope it's not revolt and try to take over the world because zzzz... But this movie looks good so here's hoping.
Jacq Vaucan, an insurance agent of ROC robotics corporation, routinely investigates the case of manipulating a robot. What he discovers will have profound consequences for the future of humanity.
Automata will be available in theaters and VOD on Oct 10. (via devour)
Here's the trailer for the third and final movie in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy:
The Hobbit was initially supposed to be just two films but Jackson decided to split the second film into two. From Wikipedia:
According to Jackson, the third film would contain the Battle of the Five Armies and make extensive use of the appendices that Tolkien wrote to expand the story of Middle-Earth (published in the back of The Return of the King).
The second movie was better than the first so I'm looking forward to this one. But then again, I'm totally in the tank for Jackson's take on Middle Earth (I did the Weta Digital tour when I was in New Zealand) so I would see it even if the first two movies sucked.
From James Marsh, the director of the excellent Man on Wire, a biopic of physicist Stephen Hawking and his first wife, Jane. Here's the first trailer:
The film is based on a book by Jane Hawking, Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen.
In this compelling memoir, his first wife, Jane Hawking, relates the inside story of their extraordinary marriage. As Stephen's academic renown soared, his body was collapsing under the assaults of motor neurone disease. Jane's candid account of trying to balance his 24-hour care with the needs of their growing family reveals the inner-strength of the author, while the self-evident character and achievements of her husband make for an incredible tale presented with unflinching honesty.
As promising as this looks, the Kanye in me needs to remind you that Errol Morris' A Brief History of Time is the best film about Stephen Hawking of all time. OF ALL TIME.
Christopher Nolan + Matthew McConaughey + space + doomed Earth. Oh man, this is looking like it might actually be great. Or completely suck.

Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused, Before Sunrise) took 12 years to make his new movie, Boyhood. The star of Boyhood, Ellar Coltrane, was seven years old when filming started, and Linklater returned to the story every year for a few days of shooting to construct a movie about a boy growing from a first-grader to an adult and his changing relationship with his parents.
This looks amazing. What an undertaking.
It's been suggested that perhaps Johannes Vermeer painted his exacting masterpieces with the help of mirrors and lenses. Tim Jenison learned of these suggestions and started to study the problem.
He was in no rush. His R&D period lasted five years. He went to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. "Looking at their Vermeers," he says, "I had an epiphany" -- the first of several. "The photographic tone is what jumped out at me. Why was Vermeer so realistic? Because he got the values right," meaning the color values. "Vermeer got it right in ways that the eye couldn't see. It looked to me like Vermeer was painting in a way that was impossible. I jumped into studying art."
A recent documentary called Tim's Vermeer (directed by Penn & Teller's Teller) follows Jenison's quest to construct a contraption that allows someone to paint as Vermeer did. Here's a trailer:
Not sure you can find the movie in theaters anymore, but it should be out on DVD/download soon.
Filmmaker IQ has a nice exploration of the history of the movie trailer. And yes, they actually used to play at the end of (i.e. "trail") the film.
Coming into the 1960s, a new generation of star directors began to redefine the trailer - among them was the legendary Alfred Hitchcock. Instead of showing scenes from the movie, Hitchcock, who had become quite well known to audiences from his "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" TV series, cashed in on his celebrity... taking audiences on a tour using his gallows humor style in this trailer for 1960's Pscyho.
The reemergence of Cubism in film and commercial art in the 1960s was not lost on another emerging filmmaker - Stanley Kubrick. Having experimented with fragmented cutting styles in the trailer to 1962's Lolita, Kubrick comes back strong in 1964's "Dr. Strangelove" with a trailer that I consider one of the most bold and brazen pieces of movie advertising ever made.
Errol Morris' documentary about Donald Rumsfeld, The Unknown Known, comes out next month. The trailer:
In the first of a four-part companion series to the movie for the NY Times, Morris explores The Certainty of Donald Rumsfeld.
When I first met Donald Rumsfeld in his offices in Washington, D.C., one of the things I said to him was that if we could provide an answer to the American public about why we went to war in Iraq, we would be rendering an important service. He agreed. Unfortunately, after having spent 33 hours over the course of a year interviewing Mr. Rumsfeld, I fear I know less about the origins of the Iraq war than when I started. A question presents itself: How could that be? How could I know less rather than more? Was he hiding something? Or was there really little more than met the eye?
The Unknown Known has been referred to as a sequel of sorts to The Fog of War, but from this it seems more like its opposite. Morris got some substantive and honest answers to important questions from McNamara, whereas it sounds like he got bupkiss from Rumsfeld.
Update: Here's part 2.

Some Hollywood people are making a Lego movie called The Lego Movie. Batman's in it and the plot is from The Matrix. I can't decide if it looks horrible or amazing.
An ordinary guy named Emmet (Chris Pratt) is mistaken as being the Master Builder, the one who can save the Lego universe. With the aid of an old mystic named Vitruvius (Morgan Freeman), a tough young lady named Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks), and Batman (Will Arnett), Emmet will fight to defeat the evil tyrant Lord Business (Will Ferrell) who is bent on destroying the Lego universe by gluing it together.
The Wikipedia page notes The Lego Movie Video Game will be released in conjunction with the movie. Which, if you're following along, is a video game based on a movie based on stacking toys & figures containing characters based on other movies that are based on comic books. I can't wait for The Lego Movie Videogame Comic Book Movie that comes out in 2019.

In New York Magazine this week, Mike Tyson writes about growing up in Brooklyn and his discovery of boxing as a way out and up.
Having to wear glasses in the first grade was a real turning point in my life. My mother had me tested, and it turned out I was nearsighted, so she made me get glasses. They were so bad. One day I was leaving school at lunchtime to go home and I had some meatballs from the cafeteria wrapped up in aluminum to keep them hot. This guy came up to me and said, "Hey, you got any money?" I said, "No." He started picking my pockets and searching me, and he tried to take my fucking meatballs. I was resisting, going, "No, no, no!" I would let the bullies take my money, but I never let them take my food. I was hunched over like a human shield, protecting my meatballs. So he started hitting me in the head and then took my glasses and put them down the gas tank of a truck. I ran home, but he didn't get my meatballs. I still feel like a coward to this day because of that bullying. That's a wild feeling, being that helpless. You never ever forget that feeling. That was the last day I went to school. I was 7 years old, and I just never went back to class.
The piece is adapted from Tyson's upcoming memoir, Undisputed Truth. Tyson wrote the book with Larry Sloman, author of Reefer Madness who has also ghostwritten for Howard Stern, Anthony Kiedis, and KISS's Peter Criss.
Update: Spike Lee directed a documentary version of Undisputed Truth; it'll air on HBO on November 16. Here's the trailer:

The Other F Word is a 2011 documentary about how punk rockers and other countercultural figures made the transition from anti-authoritarianism to parenthood. Features members from Devo, NOFX, Black Flag, Rancid, and also pro skater Tony Hawk. Here's the trailer:
To be sure, watching foul-mouthed, colorfully inked musicians attempt to fit themselves into Ward Cleaver's smoking jacket provides for some consistently hilarious situational comedy, but the film's deeper delving into a whole generation of artists clumsily making amends for their own absentee parents could strike a resonant note with anyone (punk or not) who's stumbled headfirst into family life.

Vice has a sneak peak at Errol Morris' new documentary on Donald Rumsfeld, in what looks like a sequel of sorts to The Fog of War.
Morris has Rumsfeld perform and explain his "snowflakes," the enormous archive of memos he wrote across almost 50 years in Congress, the White House, in business, and twice at the Pentagon. The memos provide a window into history -- not as it actually happened, but as Rumsfeld wants us to see it.
Jesus, that little smile at the end. The Daily Beast has an interview with Morris about the film.
THE DAILY BEAST: How the hell did you get Rumsfeld to agree to do this? Were you chasing him down?
ERROL MORRIS: No, not at all. I wrote him a letter, enclosed a copy of The Fog of War, heard back from him very quickly, went to Washington, and spent a good part of the day with him. We started it under the premise that he would do two days of interviews, I would edit it, and if he liked it, we'd sign a contract and continue. If he didn't, I'd put the footage in a closet and it would never see the light of day.
The name of the film, The Unknown Known, is a reference to a statement Rumsfeld made at a press briefing about WMDs, terrorism, and Iraq:
There are known knowns; there are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns; that is to say, there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- there are things we do not know we don't know.
Here's the trailer for Visitors, a new film from Koyaanisqatsi collaborators Godfrey Reggio and Philip Glass. Most of the trailer consists of a single two-minute shot.
That shot reminds me of many things: Andy Warhol, long photos, James Nares' Street, and Robbie Cooper's work depicting kids playing video games.
Also interesting is that Visitors is comprised of only 74 shots, which with a runtime of 87 minutes means the average shot lasts over a minute. According to a recent investigation by Adam Jameson, an ASL (average shot length) of more than a minute is unusual in contemporary film. Inception, for instance, has a ASL of just 3.1 seconds and even a film like Drive, with many long shots, has an ASL of 7 seconds. But as Jameson notes, Alfonso Cuarón's upcoming Gravity contains only 156 shots, including a 17-minute-long shot that opens the film. But the Hollywood master of long-running shots? Hitchcock, I presume:
1. Rope (1948, Alfred Hitchcock), ASL = 433.9 [seconds]
OK, this isn't a recent recent film, but it has to be noted, as it's most likely the highest ASL in Hollywood. Hitchcock used only 10 shots in making it (the film's Wikipedia page lists them). (As you probably know, Hitchcock designed those shots, then edited them such that the finished film appeared to be a single take.)
Spike Jonze's new movie features Joaquin Phoenix falling in love with his computer. The trailer:
That looks really good. I didn't care for Where the Wild Things Are but Being John Malkovich is one of my favorite movies.
Executive produced by Errol Morris and Werner Herzog, The Act of Killing is a documentary directed by Joshua Oppenheimer about a group of Indonesian mass murderers.
In The Act of Killing, Anwar and his friends agree to tell us the story of the killings. But their idea of being in a movie is not to provide testimony for a documentary: they want to star in the kind of films they most love from their days scalping tickets at the cinemas. We seize this opportunity to expose how a regime that was founded on crimes against humanity, yet has never been held accountable, would project itself into history.
And so we challenge Anwar and his friends to develop fiction scenes about their experience of the killings, adapted to their favorite film genres -- gangster, western, musical. They write the scripts. They play themselves. And they play their victims.
Wow. (via @aaroncoleman0)
Update: It expires today, but The Act of Killing is available to watch for free on PBS. After today, try Amazon.
Deceptive Practice is a documentary about Ricky Jay which features, among other things, a shaggy-haired Jay playing Three-card Monte with Steve Martin on an 80s chat show.
Jay is a fascinating guy, as this 1993 New Yorker profile of him by Mark Singer demonstrates.
Ricky Jay, who is perhaps the most gifted sleight-of-hand artist alive, was performing magic with a deck of cards. Also present was a friend of Mamet and Mosher's named Christ Nogulich, the director of food and beverage at the hotel. After twenty minutes of disbelief-suspending manipulations, Jay spread the deck face up on the bar counter and asked Nogulich to concentrate on a specific card but not to reveal it. Jay then assembled the deck face down, shuffled, cut it into two piles, and asked Nogulich to point to one of the piles and name his card.
"Three of clubs," Nogulich said, and he was then instructed to turn over the top card.
He turned over the three of clubs.
Mosher, in what could be interpreted as a passive-aggressive act, quietly announced, "Ricky, you know, I also concentrated on a card."
After an interval of silence, Jay said, "That's interesting, Gregory, but I only do this for one person at a time."
Mosher persisted: "Well, Ricky, I really was thinking of a card."
Jay paused, frowned, stared at Mosher, and said, "This is a distinct change of procedure." A longer pause. "All right-what was the card?"
"Two of spades."
Jay nodded, and gestured toward the other pile, and Mosher turned over its top card.
The deuce of spades.
A small riot ensued.
Anyway, the film is coming out next week in NYC. (via @aaroncoleman0)

Former three-term mayor of NYC Ed Koch died this morning at 88. Worth reading are obituaries by Robert McFadden in the NY Times:
Mr. Koch's 12-year mayoralty encompassed the fiscal austerity of the late 1970s and the racial conflicts and municipal corruption scandals of the 1980s, an era of almost continuous discord that found Mr. Koch at the vortex of a maelstrom day after day.
But out among the people or facing a news media circus in the Blue Room at City Hall, he was a feisty, slippery egoist who could not be pinned down by questioners and who could outtalk anybody in the authentic voice of New York: as opinionated as a Flatbush cabby, as loud as the scrums on 42nd Street, as pugnacious as a West Side reform Democrat mother.
"I'm the sort of person who will never get ulcers," the mayor - eyebrows devilishly up, grinning wickedly at his own wit - enlightened the reporters at his $475 rent-controlled apartment in Greenwich Village on Inauguration Day in 1978. "Why? Because I say exactly what I think. I'm the sort of person who might give other people ulcers."
Koch, New York City's dominant political figure of the 1980s and the architect of what remains its governing political coalition, stayed politically relevant through his long political twilight, courted aggressively by figures including Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama for his role as a proxy for pro-Israel Democrats willing, but not eager, to cross party lines.
But Koch's later years of quips, movie reviews, and presidential politics remain secondary to his central legacy, which is in New York's City Hall. Tall and gangly with a domed, bald head and a knowing smile, Koch was New York's mayor and its mascot from 1978 to 1989. Through three terms, he repeated one question like a mantra: "How'm I doing?" At first, the answer was clear to observers who had watched the city slide toward bankruptcy: exceptionally well. Koch managed New York back from the brink, drove hard bargains with municipal unions, cut jobs where he had to and reduced taxes where he could. He presided over a boom in Manhattan, and spent his new revenues on renewing the south Bronx.
But as the Koch administration moved its third term, the mayor lost his momentum. As Wall Street boomed in the 1980s, Koch took advantage of the new revenues to double New York City's budget and offer tax breaks to real estate developers. But the largesse couldn't buy him friends: he clashed with black leaders and his old allies among Manhattan's liberal democrats. New York became famous for its racial tensions and rising crime. He courted the Democratic Party bosses of Queens and the Bronx only to be tarnished by the corruption scandals that surrounded them.
Here's the trailer for Koch, a documentary on the former mayor that coincidentally opens today in limited release:

Shane Carruth's followup to Primer is set to be seen next week at Sundance and a full-length trailer has been released:
And it won't be long before the rest of us will be able to see it as well. Ain't It Cool notes that Carruth will be distributing the film himself.
Carruth isn't waiting around for a big distributor or even a small, boutique distributor. He's putting the film out himself, booking it in New York at the IFC Center on April 5th, then expanding theatrically to LA, Seattle, Boston, San Francisco, Dallas, Chicago and other big markets.
Around that time he'll also have a digital distribution option, which will lead to Blu-Ray/DVD. You know, the standard Magnolia/IFC style release, but instead of being spearheaded by a distribution company, Carruth is doing it via his own company, erbp.

The Wachowskis (The Matrix movies) and Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run) are teaming up to bring David Mitchell's award-winning novel, Cloud Atlas, to the big screen. It's an ambitious effort given the plot of the book:
The novel consists of six nested stories that take the reader from the remote South Pacific in the nineteenth century to a distant, post-apocalyptic future. Each tale is revealed to be a story that is read (or observed) by the main character in the next. All stories but the last are interrupted at some moment, and after the sixth story concludes at the center of the book, the novel "goes back" in time, "closing" each story as the book progresses in terms of pages but regresses in terms of the historical period in which the action takes place. Eventually, readers end where they started, with Adam Ewing in the Pacific Ocean, circa 1850.
Here's an extended trailer of the film:
The trailer is also on Apple's site along with a short commentary by the directors. BTW, the Wachowskis are no longer brothers because Larry had sexual reassignment surgery and is now Lana...the directors' commentary is the first I've seen of her since the switch.

The teaser trailer for P.T. Anderson's next film, The Master. Anderson himself cut the trailer -- why don't more director/editors do this?
Written and directed by Academy Award nominee Paul Thomas Anderson (the acclaimed director of, There Will Be Blood, Magnolia and Boogie Nights), this story stars Academy Award winner Philip Seymour Hoffman (Capote) and Academy Award-nominee Joaquin Phoenix (Walk the Line). Set in America in the years following World War II, a charismatic intellectual (Hoffman) launches a faith-based organization and taps a young drifter (Phoenix) as his right-hand man. But as the faith begins to gain a fervent following, the onetime vagabond finds himself questioning the belief system he has embraced, and his mentor. A truly one-of-a-kind drama, which promises magnetic virtuoso performances, the film marks the fifth collaboration between Anderson and Hoffman, following Hard Eight, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, and Punch Drunk Love.
As good as this looks, I'm a wee bit disappointed that this isn't a PT Anderson-directed documentary style film about Doctor Who's nemesis. Wouldn't that be something? (via cigarettes & red vines)
We interrupt this internet to bring you the very first trailer for Wes Anderson's new movie, Moonrise Kingdom.

Eames: The Architect and the Painter, a documentary on the husband and wife design duo, will be out in theaters in mid-November.
The husband-and-wife team of Charles and Ray Eames are widely regarded as America's most important designers. Perhaps best remembered for their mid-century plywood and fiberglass furniture, the Eames Office also created a mind-bending variety of other products, from splints for wounded military during World War II, to photography, interiors, multi-media exhibits, graphics, games, films and toys. But their personal lives and influence on significant events in American life -- from the development of modernism, to the rise of the computer age -- has been less widely understood. Narrated by James Franco, Eames: The Architect and the Painter is the first film dedicated to these creative geniuses and their work.

Pixar's not involved -- DisneyToon Studios is making it -- but a direct-to-video Cars spin-off that features airplanes will go direct-to-video in spring 2013.
This movie is mostly a commercial for the inevitable billion-dollar toy/theme park tie-ins, but in general I am in favor of any kids movie that features White Zombie in the trailer. (via devour)
ps #1: This is probably going to get yanked from YT pretty quick. Sorry.
ps #2: My 3-yo son calls the main character in Cars "Lightening the Queen". That would be an interesting movie.
It's a documentary about Joyce McKinney and the so-called Mormon sex in chains case.
Here it is on Apple Trailers in case the YouTube one gets yanked.
Larsson? Fincher? Reznor?
Rooney Mara's brief NSFW nipple flash? What's not to like?
I was skeptical about this (and The Social Network) but lesson learned: never doubt David Fincher.
Produced by Peter Jackson and directed by Steven Spielberg, it looks like an all-CGI adventure. I got sort of a Polar Express vibe from the trailer though, which is not encouraging.
(via ★fchimero)
Who knows if this is even going to be any good...I'm just posting this to annoy David again.
Ivan Guerrero remakes recent-ish movie trailers using footage from old movies...for instance, imagine if The Empire Strikes Back came out in 1950:
Guerrero has done several others, including Ghostbusters (1954), Up (1965), and Raiders of the Lost Ark (1951). (via @themexican)
Here's the trailer for Strongman, a documentary about the "The Strongest Man in the World at Bending Steel and Metal":
The film will be playing in NYC at the IFC Center for one week starting on Jan 26th.
Hey everyone I went to college with, they made a movie about the town we went to college in! I don't remember it being this much fun.
This is Cedar Rapids' biggest movie break since Titanic!
Finally, a trailer for Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life:
Here's a teaser trailer:
From the film's website:
Linotype: The Film is a feature-length documentary film centered around the Linotype typecasting machine invented by Ottmar Mergenthaler. Called the "Eighth Wonder of the World" by Thomas Edison, the Linotype revolutionized printing and society, but very few people know about the inventor or his fascinating machine.
The Linotype completely transformed the communication of information similarly to how the internet is now changing it all again. Although these machines were revolutionary, technology began to supersede the Linotype and they were scrapped and melted-down by the thousands. Today, very few machines are still in existence.
(via df)
Coming this Christmas from the Coen brothers, a remake of the John Wayne classic, True Grit. Here's the trailer:
(via devour)
The first trailer for Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan is out. Natalie Portman plays an out-of-control ballerina.
Also available here if the YT trailer gets yanked.
Somewhere is an upcoming film from Sofia Coppola; here's the trailer.
Writer/director Sofia Coppola reunites with the film company with which she made the Academy Award-winning hit "Lost in Translation." Her new film is an intimate story set in contemporary Los Angeles; Johnny Marco (Stephen Dorff) is a bad-boy actor stumbling through a life of excess at the Chateau Marmont Hotel in Hollywood. With an unexpected visit from his 11-year-old daughter (Elle Fanning), Johnny is forced to look at the questions we must all confront.
As one of the few people who enjoyed Marie Antoinette, I'm of course looking forward to this. (via df)
You aren't going to believe the opening credit sequence for Gaspar Noe's Enter the Void (make sure you can hear the sound too):
Really well done but there's a 95% chance you'll hate this. Ok, more like 98%. Reminds me of the still-brilliant trailer for A Clockwork Orange...but what a difference the music makes. (thx, jim)
Babies is a documentary that follows the lives of four newborn babies for the first year of life...in Namibia, Mongolia, Japan, and San Francisco. (via clusterflock)
Fuck. Yes.
If you must watch. I'm not supposed to giggle when Liam Neeson says "I love it when a plan comes together" in a sorta-American sorta-Irish accent, right?
Oooooooooh. Ram Jam! Ram Jam! Ram Jam!
Robin Hood with Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett, directed by Ridley Scott? I'll take five.
The trailer for Tom Ford's directorial debut, A Single Man, is gorgeous. No talking, just a simple ticking clock and images.
Reminds me of the trailer for A Clockwork Orange, only slower. Movie looks great too. (via fimoculous)
Update: Here's the first version of the trailer, before it was de-gayed. (thx, brian)
New trailer for Fantastic Mr. Fox.
All you really need to know about this movie is that it's called The Men Who Stare at Goats.
P.S. Jeff Bridges.
P.P.S. George Clooney.
The Cove has been getting great reviews: four stars from Ebert (who calls it "a certain Oscar nominee") and a score of 82 on Metacritic. A quick synopsis from Wikipedia followed by the trailer:
The Cove is a 2009 documentary film documenting the annual killing of more than 2,500 dolphins in a cove at Taiji, Wakayama in Japan. The film was directed by former National Geographic photographer Louis Psihoyos, and was filmed secretly during 2007 using underwater microphones and high-definition cameras disguised as rocks.
Dave Eggers has written a young adult novel called The Wild Things that is based loosely on Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are and the screenplay he co-wrote with Spike Jonze for the movie version. The New Yorker published an excerpt of the book this week.
Max left the room and found Gary lying on the couch in his work clothes, his frog eyes closed, his chin entirely receded into his neck. Max gritted his teeth and let out a low, simmering growl.
Gary opened his eyes and rubbed them.
"Uh, hey, Max. I'm baggin' a few after-work Z's. How goes it?"
Max looked at the floor. This was one of Gary's typical questions: Another day, huh? How goes it? No play for the playa, right? None of his questions had answers. Gary never seemed to say anything that meant anything at all.
"Cool suit," Gary said. "Maybe I'll get me one of those. What are you, like a rabbit or something?"
Eggers explains how the idea for the book came about in an associated interview.
But while I was working on the book, it was funny, because I started going in new directions, different from any of the screenplay versions, pushing it into some territory that was personal to me. So in a way the movie is more Spike's version of Maurice's book, and this novel is more my version.
Here's the latest trailer for the movie.
To sum up: children's book, movie, young adult book. Oh, and a movie soundtrack.
The trailer for Extract, the latest film from Mike Judge (Office Space, the underrated Idiocracy).
From ComingSoon:
In "Extract," writer/director Mike Judge returns to the fertile territory of the American workplace, rotating his perspective away from the white collar cubicle warriors of "Office Space" and towards a blue collar boss -- a small business owner -- who employs an odd cast of losers, loners and misfits in his flavor extract factory.
The trailer for The Lovely Bones, directed by Peter Jackson and based on the 2002 book by Alice Sebold.
It is the story of a teenage girl who, after being brutally raped and murdered, watches from heaven as her family and friends go on with their lives, while she herself comes to terms with her own death.
Jackson personally purchased the film rights to the book and from the trailer, it seems like this is a return to his Heavenly Creatures days, with a bit of the LOTR fantasy and special effects sprinkled in. Looking forward to this one.
Wonder no more what an animated Wes Anderson movie might look like: the trailer for Fantastic Mr. Fox is out. Scroll a bit for the HD links. This looks *great*. (thx, dain)
First trailer for the Tim Burton & Johnny Depp version of Alice in Wonderland.
They're making a new Tron movie. And it looks like it might not suck! (via @dburka)
Update: The Tron Legacy trailer and Michael Jackson's Beat It match up pretty well, don't they?
Somehow this slipped past me recently: there's a full trailer out for Inglourious Basterds, the new Tarantino flick starring Brad Pitt.
The September Issue is the much-anticipated documentary that follows Anna Wintour and her staff at Vogue through the process of creating the magazine's September issue, AKA the world's thickest magazine issue.
An apt demonstration that an editor/curator's main job is saying no to almost everything.
The trailer for The Invention of Lying, an upcoming flick written by, directed by, and starring Ricky Gervais.
The world of the movie is one in which everyone tells the truth all the time...until Gervais invents lying. It also stars every other Hollywood actor and comic in the world, including Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman, Patrick Stewart, Jeffrey Tambor, Tina Fey, Christopher Guest, Rob Lowe, Louis C.K., and John Hodgman. (You know it's quite an august list when you have to stick "and John Hodgman" on the end of it.)
IFC lists the 50 greatest trailers of all time. Trailers are like episodes for Law & Order for me -- ten minutes after viewing and I can't remember a thing about them -- so I don't really have any favorites, but this list seems like a solid collection.
Update: They also polled a number of experts to weigh in on their favorites. The article led me to the Golden Trailer Awards, an annual awards show for the best movie trailers and posters. This year's winner was the trailer for Star Trek (I'm guessing it's trailer 1).
Capturing Reality: The Art of Documentary is a documentary film about documentary films.
Errol Morris, Werner Herzog and over 30 of today's top documentary filmmakers provide an in-depth look at non-fiction filmmaking and the steps to making a documentary. These masters of the craft reflect upon the nature of documentary as a form of storytelling and offer insight into their approach to the 'truth.'
The trailer is here and there are lots of clips up on the site; here are two featuring Errol Morris and Werner Herzog. (Man, I could listen to Herzog talk all day long.)
The trailer for Ponyo, the latest animated feature film from Hayao Miyazaki (Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, etc.). The film opened in Japan last year and made more than $150 million at the box office. The American version is dubbed and I don't know if a subtitled version will made it to theaters in the US or not. There was a theatrical release of a subtitled Mononoke but that was a long time ago.
As a follow-up to the excellent Band of Brothers, HBO, Steven Speilberg, and Tom Hanks have teamed up to make The Pacific, a 10-part miniseries about the fighting in the Pacific during WWII from the perspective of a group of US Marines. The first trailer for the series has been released:
(via sarahnomics)
Update: So of course HBO made YouTube remove the video of the trailer. But they put up a smaller crappier version on their own site so it's all ok, right? (Why do media companies not like people spreading their advertising around? That's the fucking goal, yes?) Anyway, in the meantime I changed the link to the video above with a new one that hasn't been removed yet. And if that one gets removed, you can probably find the newest ones here. (thx, greg)
Cold Souls = Being John Malkovich - John Malkovich + Paul Giamatti. Sort of.
Update: Perhaps this could be a sequel?
This movie just looks amazing. And horrible. A must-see trailer in HD if you like, as I do, watching the Earth being destroyed.
Update: And here's a totally sweet trailer for 2012: It's a Disaster. (thx, javier)
Here's the trailer for the Arrested Development Documentary.
The overall goal of the documentary is to provide awareness and education of this brilliant, witty and original comedy.
Opens June 2010.
The trailer, in HD, of Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downey Jr. (as Holmes) and Jude Law (as Watson).
The trailer for Herb and Dorothy, about a pair of unlikely art collectors. From a 1997 article in the Austin Chronicle:
She was a librarian. Her husband was a postal worker. They lived on his salary and bought art with hers. Both are now retired. They have no children. "We bought art we could afford and that would fit into the apartment," they say. Water from the fish tank once splashed a Warhol they owned. It later had to be restored.
Much of their collection has passed to the National Gallery of Art.
Woody Allen + Larry David + the process for making a feature-length film - all but about 2 minutes of the footage = the trailer for Whatever Works.
An eccentric New Yorker played by Larry David abandons his upper class life to lead a more bohemian existence. He meets a young girl from the south and her family and no two people seem to get along in the entanglements that follow. This is a comedy also starring Ed Begley Jr., Patricia Clarkson, Conleth Hill, Michael McKean, Evan Rachel Wood, and a number of other amusing types.
The trailer for District 9 looks interesting. I particularly like the way the alien's face is pixelated out in the interview, both for privacy in the world of the film and to not spoil the reveal for movie goers.
Update: This movie is based on a short that director Neill Blomkamp did in 2005. (thx, kenneth)
Update: An uncensored version of the trailer is available here. (thx, lisa)
Update: A full trailer is now available.
The trailer for Transcendent Man, a documentary film about Ray Kurzweil that's based on his book, The Singularity is Near. You may recall that Kurzweil plans to never die.
Update: Two reviews: Transcendent Man Wows At Tribeca Film Festival Premier and Film About Kurzweil Gets Two Nano-Enhanced Cyberthumbs Up. (thx, david)
The trailer for Julie and Julia is out, based on the blog and book of the same name.
I can't figure out if Meryl Streep is almost nailing her Julia Child impression or completely blowing it. Also, Streep is ~5'7"....I don't know what they're doing in the movie to make her look so tall, but it doesn't work.
Update: Michael Ruhlman has seen the movie and has positive things to say about it.
The whole-earth nature documentary space is quickly becoming crowded. We've got:
The Blue Planet, 2001
Deep Blue, 2003
Planet Earth, 2006
Earth, 2009
Nature's Great Events, 2009
Oceans, 2010
The last one on the list is from Disney. If you watch the trailer, the company is attempting to say, "Planet Earth? Ha! Disney was down with nature all along!" Pfft. A point in Disney's favor however is that Oceans is being done by Jacques Perrin, the man responsible for Microcosmos and Winged Migration. Points against: the film has cost $75 million so far (for a documentary!), the footage in the trailer looks like it was lifted directly from The Blue Planet and Planet Earth, and no David Attenborough narration.
Update: I added Earth to the list, also from Disney. Here's the trailer. BBC and Discovery are listed as partners so it's likely that the footage in the film is from Planet Earth. (thx, @gjdsalinger)
Update: Earth is indeed mostly material taken from Planet Earth. Disney helped bankroll the production in the first place.
Update: I added Deep Blue to the list as well, a feature-length version of The Blue Planet. (thx, @aknock)
I am hoping that Moon will be awesome and not just a mashup of 2001 and Solaris. The score is by Clint Mansell, who has scored all of Darren Aronofsky's movies, most notably Requiem for a Dream. Moon opens on June 12 in NYC and LA. (via sarahnomics)
How to Take a Beloved Children's Classic Book and Screw It All Up, Exhibit A: based on the trailer, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. Except for the food falling from the sky, they changed everything else. But it's IN 3-D!!! *pffft*
Trailer for a new film called Guest of Cindy Sherman. It's a documentary about a man who becomes romantically involved with the famous artist, only to find that his ego can't handle her fame. I wonder if we actually get to see the real Sherman in the film...the trailer is very teasing about it.
Update: Unsurprisingly, Sherman's not happy about the film. (thx, paul)
Vendela Vida, Dave Eggers, Sam Mendes, John Krasinski, Maya Rudolph, Jeff Daniels, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Allison Janney, Catherine O'Hara. Movie. Trailer.
In this trailer for Terminator Salvation -- more like salivation, which is what I'm doing waiting for this movie to come out, amiright? -- we're led to believe that perhaps Christian Bale turns out to be a Replicant or a Mecha. (via fimoculous)
During the closing credits of the Academy Awards, a clip was shown previewing some movies that will open in 2009. None of them look like they'll win any Oscars so I presume this was paid advertising and not editorial on the part of the program. Fun though! (via /film)
Tarantino's latest film is about Nazi-killing American soldiers and stars Brad Pitt. I can't decide if this movie is going to completely suck or be really great. Vampire movies notwithstanding, Quentin always gets the benefit of the doubt from me so great it is.
My favorite ads during the Super Bowl broadcast are the movie trailers. Here are the trailers they showed this year:
Transformers 2 (Electric Bugaloo.)
Race to Witch Mountain (The Rock + alien kids.)
Up (New Pixar flick.)
Star Trek (JJ Abrams.)
Land of the Lost (No more Will Ferrell, please.)
Year One (No more Jack Black either. Michael Cera, your clock is ticking.)
Angels and Demons (Hanks/Howard follow-up to DaVinci Code's prequel book.)
Monsters vs Aliens (Kids like aliens. Kids like monsters. Why not give 'em both at once?)
Fast and Furious (It's the first film, minus two thes.)
GI Joe
With the exception of the two animated films and Year One, all of the above are either sequels or remakes. And Hulu, in a stroke of highly irritating genius, has inserted advertising before each of the trailers linked above. Advertising *in* advertising...the 20th century has officially ended. Welcome to the future.
Update: I've switched out the Hulu links for ones at Apple; they're higher quality and can be seen outside of the US. I wish the Apple trailers would have been live last night; it would have made for a lot less whining in my inbox. I just go where the links take me, folks. Oh, and I added the GI Joe trailer. (thx, david)

Florida Central Gulf Coast
Recent Florida Central Gulf Coast Reviews
This is truly a palace!
Breathtaking is an understatement in regards to this estate. From the time you approach the entrance gate, you are greeted by beautifully manicured landscaping that leads to the home, with such impressive architectural design. The photos of the kitchen do not do it justice. It is so spacious that a family of 12+ can gather very comfortably. The pool area, gazebo and lake are so inviting that you do not want or need to leave the property. Dara has been extremely cooperative and accommodating. He will do anything he can do make your stay exactly as you wish.
Special Needs Scout Troop 550
We enjoyed our stay, it was a very beautiful home and in a very good location for us because it was with In miles of every destination we went to. We went to Pier 60, Clearwater Aquarium, Harbor freights, Wal-mart and the park. And it is also close to the mall. It is very hard for our scout troop to find a place that will accommodate our troop when we go out on outings. This place was perfect and the owner was more than willing to help with our needs. And went above and beyond to help us out. Already looking to book our next event. Thank you for everything you did for us.
I think I found my dream home!
What started out as just a quick get away from the snow and 15 degree weather in my home state of Northern New York turned out to be one of the best trips ever. We arrived in Florida around noon, we prearranged via the property owner to have my family and myself picked up from the airport and surprisingly the driver was there waiting for us when we arrived. Once we arrived at the property, we were greeted by the property owner with Lei flowers (cool points)! He welcomed us into his home and began to show my family around the property. I was very impressed, properties we've stayed at in the past never matched the pictures that were presented online, this property offered even more then what I saw online. This place was truly a getaway, very spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was huge and had all the amenities to include three stoves, I mean come on how much cooking can one do? There was a fire pit and grill on the property and a large lake within walking distance. The Publix grocery store was across the street and the house was close to many familiar stores. I recommend this property to anyone who expects to stay in comfort and luxury.

There's been an offer to "self-pay" into the Hall recently. $5.80/Hr for Health and Welfare, it seems high but the coverage is unequaled. There's also the availability of self-paying $0.75/Hr into the Pension B, a 401K plan.
Example, if you work for a non-Union shop you pay your Dues (a.k.a. membership Dues or windshield Dues). There's no Working Assessment (working dues) to pay. If you get $27.50/Hr, you would send the Hall $6.55/Hr if you took the H and W; and 401K.

Revamped Google Maps Hits iOS
iOS users now have the same version of Maps as Android users.
Google last week launched a brand new version of Google Maps for Android users and promised that the iOS version of the same app was on the way. On Tuesday, Google announced that the revamped Google Maps had arrived on iOS.
The new version of Maps boasts enhanced navigation as well as Explore, a new feature that helps users discover places to eat and shop nearby. There's also now a dedicated iPad design that offers a smoother more fluid experience, biking navigation and directions, indoor navigation, live traffic updates, and integrated ratings from Zagat, reviews, and offers.
You might recall that Google faced a bit of backlash from Maps users for ditching offline maps and replacing it with a feature that allowed you to cache an area just by typing 'OK maps,' in the search field. Though Google did an about face on this for Android just one day later, there's no word on whether it plans to do the same for iOS.
Visit the App Store today to download the new Google Maps for iPhone and iPad.

I don't want to/can't always pinch to zoom...plus getting turn by turn navigation going used to be 3 touches....now it's like complimenting a woman...complicated and you'll probably end up somewhere you don't want to be

Pension eligibility
February 2nd, 2013 | Uncategorized
Q. My husband, who is 98 years old, worked for the Postal Service in Chicago from 1937 to 1942, then joined the Army to fight in World War II. He took a leave of absence from the Postal Service until the war ended and returned to the Postal Service in 1947 and worked until 1948, when he entered graduate school under the GI Bill. He did not take a refund of his CSRS contribution. Is he eligible for a pension?
A. If what you say is true, he may very well be eligible for an annuity. To find out, he'll have to complete a Standard Form 2801, Application for Immediate Retirement, and send it to the address on the form. You'll find the form at www.opm.gov, click on Find Form(s).

Hey there! I'm a cosplayer!
As I've been cosplaying for five years now, I'm starting to have a good section of my room taken up by cosplay props, clothing, and wigs. While the clothing I am going to sell for the monies (contact me if you are curious), I am deciding to do a COSPLAY WIG GIVEAWAY to empty out what I have!
Soul Eater Evans wig [I am also selling Soul's yellow and black jacket, plus his headband, for $20 altogether.] (this wig could also be used to be Allen Walker from D. Gray Man, though)
Brief wig [this one has LITERALLY BEEN WORN ONCE ]
North Italy/Feliciano Vargas wig
Jake English wig (I used this as a John wig, but it's more smooth than messy and Jake's hair seems to be a bit more organized than John's, so)
Not represented with fictitious characters is one cosplay clothing article I am also selling, I am selling one Akatsuki cloak (from Naruto) for $30.
So, what do you do?
Souls wig!
I would like the North Italy Wig :)

"unget" podcasts? | 33 comments | Create New Account
The following comments are owned by whoever posted them. This site is not responsible for what they say.
"unget" podcasts?
First, what would be the point of crowding up your podcast playlist with files that aren't on your system? Are you trying to get a playlist such that clicking on a podcast will cause the iTunes to go fetch the podcast on demand, instead of storing it in your Mac?
"unget" podcasts?
The point of preserving Podcast playlist entries after deleting the content is to keep a history of what I've listened to (or watched). And maybe I delete the content before listening/watching, then decide to download it again later. So, I was wondering if anyone knew a way to do that without creating dead links (orphaned entries, in my original post), which apparently there isn't.

Call for Submissions
We currently have two active calls for submissions. Please review the guidelines below.
Media Fields Issue 10: Digital Distribution
Submission Deadline: October 24, 2014
In the past few years, media studies scholars such as Alisa Perren, Stuart Cunningham, and Ramon Lobato, have persuasively made the case for the importance of studying distribution. No longer considered simply the "space between production and consumption," distribution has quickly become a site of study in and of itself. In its myriad forms, distribution serves as the construction of difference, as the instantiation of hierarchies, and, as Sean Cubitt puts it, "the material ground of cultural dominance and political power." Therefore, the study of distribution increasingly becomes a key locus from which to start our investigations into the cultural, political, and social ramifications of media.
Alongside this newfound attention to distribution, scholars have also begun to trace the rise and proliferation of digital technologies. Over a decade after the coining of the term Web 2.0, and fifteen years after the launch of Napster, the number of platforms and formats for the digital circulation of media has skyrocketed and, consequently, their ensuing communities have multiplied. Contemporary media studies has turned its attention not only to digital technologies themselves but also to the new media ecosystems emerging from these technologies.
By considering these two intertwined, burgeoning trends in media studies scholarship, this issue of Media Fields Journal will explore how the theorization and practice of distribution transforms in light of the digital. If distribution is the movement of things—information, commodities, values, etc.—through space, the digital has now complicated what each of these aspects constitutes. The types of things that can be distributed across media have changed; the ways these things move are different; even the space through which they move has shifted. Furthermore, what phenomena, technologies, and practices fall under the purview of distribution have become more varied and disparate.
For the Digital Distribution issue, Media Fields Journal seeks submissions that address questions about the role of distribution—as a practice, as a space, or as a process—in light of the digital. What are these new technologies and platforms, and how do they alter our relationships to media content? How are relations of power between producers and consumers restructured? How is geographical space itself reconfigured or reimagined? How is the exchange of values and affects facilitated by digital networks? How does the digital change the very metaphors used to discuss distribution, such as pipes, conduits, channels, networks, flow, etc.? In turn, how do these metaphors shape our projects and our theories of distribution?
We invite submission that engage with the interconnections between distribution, the digital, and space in relation to topics such as:
Geoblocking, International Censorship, Reformatting, Global Internet Penetration and Platform Availability, Satellite and Cable Infrastructure, Geographical Case Studies
Informal Distribution Practices:
Piracy Practices and Networks, Do-It-Yourself Distribution, Cyber Underworlds and the "Darknet"
Social Space:
Online Fan Practices, Social Networking, Cultures of Hacking, Social Apps
Regulation and Policy:
Cloud Governance, Net Neutrality, Spectrum Management, Privacy Rights, Regulating E-Waste
Digital Platforms and Evolving Business Practices:
Connected Viewing and Mobile Media, Content Flow and Windowing, Web TV, TV Everywhere, Format Theory, Digital Radio and Podcasting, Platform Interfaces and Design, Audience Segmentation and Metadata
Essay submissions are typically 1500-2500 words. We encourage submissions from any disciplinary approach relevant to media distribution. Scholarly or critical contributions in atypical formats are welcome. Along with your submission, please include a 50-word biographical statement in the body of your email or as a separate attachment. Email submissions or inquiries to issue editors Jennifer Hessler and Juan Llamas-Rodriguez at firstname.lastname@example.com. The deadline for submission is October 24, 2014.
Issue 9: Spaces of Protest
Submission Deadline EXTENDED: September 19, 2014
"Insurrectional experiences have taught us how unimaginable things can very quickly enter into the field of possibilities." In the time that has elapsed since Jacques Rancière uttered these prescient words in a 2011 interview, their validity has been repeatedly confirmed. From the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street and from Cairo's Tahrir Square to Istanbul's Gezi Park, creative struggles and imaginative demonstrations have organically emerged from masses of people who had hitherto been considered passive, apathetic, or without agency. These collective movements, these sparks of revolutionary fire, have done much more than simply demonstrate an underlying discontent. They have also challenged the basic framework through which we interpret our surroundings, making visible the invisible and possible the impossible.
In this issue of Media Fields, we are exploring practices of protest as they relate to space and media. How are activists appropriating spaces and reclaiming the commons? How are they using technology and media, new and old, to intervene in relations of power and oppression, production and control? How are these activities challenging our understanding of culture and identity and reconfiguring our notion of the sensible? Or by contrast, following Ranajit Guha's suggestion, how might we reconstitute insurgent politics by reading hegemony in reverse—uncovering how protest is officially rendered as ineffectual, criminal or invisible? How might media scholars locate alternative traditions of political mobilization? How do revised notions of materialist agencies help us grasp the complex assemblages mobilized when protests occur that include media, meaning and actants? What is the continued relevance of Marxism, psychoanalysis, and film and media theory in light of contemporary developments? How do we need to rework our theoretical approaches to accommodate contemporary circumstances and contingencies?
We welcome paper submissions dealing with all of these issues. Submissions may address a specific site or practice of protest, or they may take a broader view, dealing theoretically with the newly emerging constellations of solidarity and radical geographic/spatial imaginaries. We also invite submissions that excavate divergent and alternative emphases and practices as they relate broadly to media and protest. Consequently we welcome submissions that suggest new theoretical approaches to these themes as well as ones that reimagine (or imagine anew) theories of political engagement, change, and revolution.
Essay submissions are typically 1500-2500 words. We also invite proposals for scholarly or critical engagements in atypical formats such as interviews, art, or photography. We encourage approaches to this topic from scholars in cinema and media studies, anthropology, architecture, art and art history, communication, cultural studies, ecology, geography, literature, musicology, sociology, and other relevant fields. Email submissions, proposals, and inquiries to Issue Editors Greg Burris and Alston D'Silva at email@example.com. The deadline for full submissions has been EXTENDED to September 19, 2014.
Submissions may look at a variety of topics including:
- Theorizations and contextualizations of specific practices of protest.
- Comparative approaches between different sites of protest.
- The place of Marxist, post-Marxist, and neo-Marxist approaches to revolution, change, and protests and their critiques.
- Interventions and discursive practices within the public sphere, alternative publics and counterpublics. Queer and/or feminist theoretical interventions into neoliberalism and the Habermasian conception of public sphere.
- The status of film and media theory in the aftermath of protests and revolution (Occupy, Protests of '68).
- Examinations of protests and rebellions in relation to contemporary radical thought including Alain Badiou's notion of the Event, Jacques Rancière's distribution of the sensible, or Slavoj Žižek's Act.
- Examinations of protests and protest movements via system theory, material and social assemblages or actor-network theory.
- Anticolonial movements and indigenous resistance, past and present, against cultural hegemony, appropriation and genocide.
- Representations of protest in film, television, and new media.
- Examinations of the ways in which practices of protest constitute and/or disrupt categories of gender, sexuality, or nationality.
- Responses to corporate surveillance and dataveillance.
- Discussions of hacking, countersurveillance, and culture jamming as well as responses to and condition of media blackouts, censorship and other government control over media and communication.
- Practices of solidarity, coalition-building in and across spaces, identities, and movements (for instance, BDS). Or conversely examinations of practices undercutting solidarity, such as appropriation and strikebreaking.
- Media access and the digital divide in relation to protests and social movements.

Sen. Mark Warner's suggestion that volunteer IT experts from the private sectors take a look at ways to fix the Department of Veterans Affairs' broken scheduling system is part of the House and Senate compromise bill to fund improvements to the the troubled department.
"By calling on our best minds across the private sector to help in this national priority, we can begin implementing commonsense solutions to fix these problems." Warner said.
Warner's provision requires the VA Secretary to enlist a task force, which would report within 45 days specific actions that would improve scheduling and software. The Secretary is instructed to implement these recommendations within one year of receiving the pro bono assessment.

Absoloutely the best
posted 5 years ago
I've managed an aquarium store, supplied marine fish to a local zoo, worked in the fish wholesale business in LA and kept marine tropicals for over 20 years now. I have yet to see a better product for all around marine fish food.
Pros: Always the freshest ingredients, made of what fish eat....seafood.
Cons: it can be expensive, but what price a healthy fish?

Our fish enjoy!
posted 5 years ago
As long as you don't over feed this won;t muck up the water. I usually cut the cubes into small bites to feed the fish. Bits that floated down onto the invertabrates were readily consumes by them
Pros: easy to cut into small bites, invertabrates like it too
Cons: none if used properly

Now that Kallik and Yakone have decided to join Toklo and Lusa on the rest of their journey home, the four bears head toward warmer territories. Spring is coming, and Toklo and Lusa are overjoyed to be away from the ice, surrounded by green forests and flowing rivers once again.
But the forest brings unique challenges for the polar bears, Kallik and Yakone. As they struggle to continue on, they know that each step is taking them farther from the ice. Have they made a mistake, straying from their natural home?

Im a geek there is no denying that. My blog, obviously is all over the place (sorry for that). I post anything i'm currently obsessing with and completely adore. So brace yourselves and watch out for sooooooo much randomness. :)
