Quick! I need your help!

Hey readers! I actually need your help for a school project type thing. The actual logistics of the project are a bit too complicated to explain, but basically what I need from you all is to do what movie bloggers do best - recommend a movie to me.

But not just any movie - I'm looking for a REALLY good movie (preferably a recent one) that deals with the theme of "reconciliation between fathers and sons". That's very vague, I know, but I'm having trouble coming up with it on my own, and I know that with such diverse readers with all different movie-watching backgrounds, you all will be able to come up with something better than would I could think up on my own.

So go at it! Give me your best "reconciliation between fathers and sons" movie! And don't worry, this isn't cheating. Haha!

New Year Banner Contest!

Well, it's that time again...for a eye-dentification Banner contest! I've had this current banner for far too long and it's almost time to switch it out, so you know what that means....you guys get to try to identify whose eyes are present!

AND, this time around, the prize is extra-special! Or anyway, it's kind of cool. If you win, I'll WRITE YOU A SONG! And record it, and give it to you in mp3 format! Yeah! I'll write it about whatever you want. If you want me to write a song based on your favorite movie, sure, or maybe a love song to you, or even if you want me to write you a song about like, flying ponies taking over Mars then that's cool too. It's allllll up to you.

Or, if you don't want a special song, then you can take the prize that I normally give out - a guest post on this blog! Or something else. The prize is negotiable. Heh heh.

Anyway. Let's review the rules.

1. Look at the banner at the top of my blog. You know, the one with all the eyes on it. Haha!

2. Send me an email at marioman60@gmail.com and write down the actor/actress and the film that the eyes are from. For animated films, just the name of the movie is fine.

3. Points are given for each correct part of the answer. So you get 1 point for the right actor, 1 point for the right movie.

4. Whoever gets the most points WINS!!!




All right so that's all there is to it. You've got two weeks to do it (the deadline for entries will be the 19th of January. GO!

I'm Still Alive! Yay! (Randomness Ensues)

Hello everyone! I'm back. And still stressed, but mildly less so. Haha. My recital went very well, and thanks to all of you who looked at my website and left kind comments on my last post! It was so nice of youuu. :)



so I have a few items to discuss in this post, for which I will use the extremely organized bulletpoint format. Woohoo!

  • You should check out the Vegetarian/Vegan Movie Characters page if you haven't in a while - there are a lot of new additions since I keep thinking of/seeing more and more!
  • I saw "Please Give" and kind of loved it. Random. But yes. And now we're just two people holding shit in bags!
  • Besides that, I'm horribly behind in seeing movies that are coming out that I want to see. Oh the difficulties of being busy! Grrr. Have ya'll seen any good ones lately? Speak up below.
  • Ummm...Modern Family was awesome this past week? Funny, and grrrreat character development. Ty Burrell really was fantastic in particular.
  • Okay...guilty pleasure alert...14 DAYS TIL KE$HA'S NEW ALBUM. *Ahem* um, yikes, everyone's looking at me weird...uh...i like Beethoven? Yeah. Haha.
I think that's it. I feel like there was more I wanted to say...but...i'm sorry. I'm so incoherent. This doesn't even count as an excuse for a blog post. I promise I'll start actually making an effort soon. Please don't hate me! Eek!
