Star Wars Episode III Preview

Posted on March 12, 2005 | Leave a comment

Here’s a preview for the 3rd (6th) Star Wars movie. It’s large, weighing in at 38MB, so don’t try it with dial-up….

Harry Carswell passed away last week… I’ve restarted this a few times and I guess I don’t really know what to put here… I’ll start with a story: About three or four years ago I was visiting Harry in the hospital, I don’t remember exactly what he said the doctors told him, something like “six months to live” and I laughed and then he joined in so I felt a little better about it because I knew he knew why I laughed. We laughed because ten or fifteen years before that after some major heat surgery they had given him three to five years (or some other deadline he was way past). I’m sure a few other times (not even related to those issues) they had given him some other timelines and they all passed but then he’d have some other problems every so often. He knew it was time this time and moved back into his home last month because that’s where he wanted to be.

Movie Preview – The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Finally a real preview! All I’ve seen previously is several teasers. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy actually looks like it could be a good movie. I think it’ll even stay a little true to the books. FYI – The original book had the the same title; the next four books in the Douglas Adams trilogy got stranger and stranger… Check out http://hitchhikersmovie.com/ for more info!

Update: I just found a link to a different trailer that I hadn’t seen yet…

Movie Preview – The Interpreter

Posted on March 10, 2005 | 1 comment

I saw two movie previews today; actually I saw a few more but I’m only going to mention two.

The Interpreter preview which I’ve seen about a gazillion times but it’s never come out yet. Where Nicole Kidman plays an interpreter at the UN and hears a murder plot (stars Sean Penn). Is this movie actually ever going to come out?

It’s been cold lately but at least it’s been sunny. There’s even been a few unseasonably warm days (or small portions of days) here and there. I bring this up because so many people complain about the cold but it’s very bearable to me if I have the sunshine. I suppose it’s a bonus that I do get to park inside at my house so that I don’t have to get in a cold car or scrape it or anything like that… But still…
