I am a music freak. I probably listen to more of it in a day then is probably legal. Even when I went trick or treating tonight I had my iPod on. I should have been paying attention to the kids squealing and giggling. And especially because this will probably be the last year my daughter goes. But beyond all that I just wanted to listen to music.
Last week this song by Serabee came across my desk. I clicked the link to watch her youtube video, Driving Me Stupid, and I loved it! The first time even. She has an EP coming out on November 10th, and I’ll be writing about it before then because I’ve had a chance to listen to it. I have to say this girl is amazing…I love her sound. It’s so different. When I was listening to it the first time she reminded me alot of Marc Anthony. I love that sound.
Robert Pattinson sure knows how to do a magazine cover! The December 2009 issue of Vanity Fair has been floating around. I had to break down and finally post it. I know they were showing preview pictures from the issue. I can’t wait to see them all together.
On October 31st, 1993 at 1:51 a.m. River Phoenix died in front of the Viper Room. I was 18 and I remember that River’s death was one of the first major celebrity deaths I had experienced. (The next one being Kurt Cobain in April of 1994.) I remember sitting in front of the TV with my mom and we would watch all those entertainment type shows like Entertainment Tonight and Inside Edition and listen to what happened. (I am sure if it was like the time now we would have been on the internet )
It was something that shook my world. River had such a career ahead of him and he died so young. I see now that there has been many after him like Heath Ledger and DJ AM that have died way before they should have. And I was at such a young age I didn’t think that I would have to experience something like that again. It shouldn’t be happening and we should be able to live life happy without having to worry about the great ones that left us. But it doesn’t happen that way. That’s why I’m glad that I’m a writer and I’m able to be able to talk about them and remember them.
Even 16 years later people can’t stop talking about River. There was a quote at the end of an article that inspired this piece for me and I wanted to quote the quote the writer used there by James Taylor. It seemed to sum it up all nicely.
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I’d see you again…
I was pretty bummed last night when I went to look on MTV Canada and I didn’t see the special on at all. But just now I found the whole show so I can finally catch up with all the behind the scenes action with Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed, Jackson Rathbone, and Elizabeth Reaser. Extra special thanks to MTV U for allowing other countries able to watch these videos too.
There is also performances by AFI and Paramore. Check it out.
Orphan is now out on DVD & BluRay. I watched the movie yesterday and I have to say that I was very impressed. I was on the edge of my seat through the whole thing. I was very glad it was during the day because I was freaking out. And the twist in the movie…I wasn’t expecting it at all. Get it on Blu-ray, DVD, On Demand & Digital Download on October 27th. You can also get it at the WBShop.com here.
The movie has two really strong characters….the girl that plays Esther, Isabelle Fuhrman, and the little girl that plays her sister, Max, Aryana Engineer, I was crying for little Max through the movie! It also stars Vera Farmiga and Peter Sarsgaard.
The synopsis goes like this: Tragedy seems to follow nine-year-old Esther. She was orphaned in her native Russia. Her last adoptive family perished in a fire Esther barely escaped. But now the Coleman family has adopted her, and life is good. Until a classmate takes a serious fall from a slide. Until an orphanage nun is battered to death. And until Esther?s new mom wonders if that tragic fire was an accident. From Dark Castle Productions comes Orphan, bringing stunning new twists to the psychological thriller and locking audiences in a tightening vise of mystery, suspicion and terror. You?ll never forget Esther. So sweet. So intelligent. So creative. So disturbed. Check out the official site here.
I don’t know if it’s me but I’ve been kinda confused all season. I think I missed some parts that I really needed to see. That being said I think that both Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki have been really been able to explore their characters more this year and put more depth into them.
The next episode, airing November 12th, is called The Real Ghostbusters. And it goes like this: Super fan Becky (guest star Emily Perkins) uses Chuck’s (guest star Chuck Benedict) phone to trick Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) into attending a Supernatural fan convention, complete with fans dressed up as Sam and Dean. One of the activities is a live action role playing game, but things quickly turn sour after a real ghost appears on the scene.
