No More Geocities

Another quick notice in this flurry of busy times... Geocities is no longer in operation. Anything that was on Geocities in the past for Thomas Productions (which refers to anything prior to the directorG.com domain even existed) now has been demolished.

I'm therefore glad that a few months back, I transferred over all of the images from the Washington D.C. fieldtrip to GPicturama! Otherwise, I'd have to start from scratch to repair that site, since none of my pics at that point (in '99) were originally digital yet -- scanned each and every one by hand. I hope I transferred other stuff, too... About to find that out.

Trip Transfer

In the announced closing of Geocities, it suddenly hit me: I needed to change the site location of what might be the oldest part of this site, my Trip to Washington D.C. photo album. Then I decided, why not convert it into a set of GPicturama pages?

It seemed perfect to do so, and probably was my very first stab at making such an album page. So, now the Trip to Washington D.C. pages are a part of GPicturama. Though the trip occurred in 1999, the pages are in 2009 because that is the year it was added to that portion of the site.

And now, because it was such a surprisingly awesome film, here's the trailer to this year's Star Trek! Way to go, J.J. Abrams!

Return of the Critiques

While sifting through old web files on Geocities (it is closing soon), I stumbled upon the critiques that were prepared for The Last Kiss (2000). These original reviews of the film were an application of analytic and evaluative skills that were currently in use at the time in high school, and were yet another way for friends to become involved in the project.

Those critiques and more, including the trailer above, are all found in the Media Layer at the film's official page. More older projects are now in the digitization process for YouTube; up next is Macbeth: Act 1 (2001)!
