Doc Submitted Yesterday

It's done! Journey of the Mind was submitted yesterday to the Arizona State U festival, different from what? The web page for the movie is now under construction, and should be ready in the next few days.

There's a possibility that this documentary could also get shown on a local television station... More on that as details arrive!

3rd Site, Part II

So far, with the exception of a single pop-up window that was not a repeat occurrence, this 3rd site experiment is working well. Thus, I've decided to put the "Z site," aka Garett's Moving Ratings [and more], into the new location as well.

This includes the start of my Oscar Predictions for 2009, complete with a new design that works a bit better than last year's did, however creative it was. I've mentioned in a previous News Blog entry some possible nominees for Best Pic, but lately, there's been a LOT of buzz for Kathryn Bigelow, the Director of The Hurt Locker. Not only is she from San Carlos (the town I grew up in), but she also happens to be an ex-wife (prior to Linda Hamilton) of James Cameron (think Titanic).

Anyhow, her film is getting rave reviews, and she herself is getting serious talks about becoming the 4th female to become a Best Director Oscar nominee. Three cheers from a fellow San Carlan!

Janitorial / 2000+!

This blog has 2 topics. First, I've done some janitorial work with the Media Layer that I'm still in the process of adding to all of the movie pages.

More specifically, I've added some additional pro PNG images to the same concept of the loading spinner & what's in store: signs representing both Under Construction and Caution (the latter is only used thus far for Abrupt's adult oriented content). We'll see how well this experiment works.

On a completely different note (this is the 2nd topic), in the past day on YouTube, Scenes from Being John Malkovich has surpassed 2000 views! It currently has 2016 and counting: it's the first movie from Thomas Productions to achieve this!
