[MOViE MADNESS]

I should mention something briefly before i get into my routine of babbling about nonsense. It's not that i don't like Apples all that much. For the most part, i agree, they are very powerful little computers and all. I just really hate there software. Not all of it, but the operating system gets on my nerves. It's the whole concept of super user-friendly. With that said, i should say that i do like the iMOVIE program or whatever its called. Oh, and i don't like there mouses. What is up with the single button mouse, it just feels wrong.

Okay, now that i'm done with that, i want to talk about the re-release of my major debut film, "The Bethel Slayer". Yup, that's right, i am re-releasing it. It's gonna include all new never before seen footage, edited footage, new soundtrack, director commentary, actor commentary from screen sensation jOe Macauley, and bedazzlin' special effects (all thanks to the aforementioned iMOVIE program). If you thought you saw "The Bethel Slayer" at its best, think again.

Which brings up another matter entirely...the soundtrack. As part of the revamping and re-release of "The Bethel Slayer", i need to come up with a new soundtrack for it. Actually, i wouldn't call it a soundtrack. More over, i just need one new song to play in the movie, dubbed over the old song. "The Bethel Slayer" employs a brand-spankin' new film technique where no one talks, or talks very little, and instead music is played in synchronius time with the footage. Basically, think Fantasia 2000, without flying whales. (I should sue them for stealing my directorial style.)

Ahem, back to what i was getting at... I need any suggestions as to the primary song to dub with the movie. Now i know it might help if you've all seen the movie, so i don't really expect much, except for maybe from jimmy or james, who have both seen the movie. But for the rest of you, if you want to throw in a suggestion, here is the gist of the movie. Just imagine a very large man being chased by a midget killer in a green scream mask. SPOOKTACULAR! (Don't let this rather short description throw you from the true inner beauty of my film. There are undertones that would take analysts ages to understand.)

So in short, that is what i am up to these days. Oh, and i have to go to the Seattle Aquarium and watch river otters for a total of five hours. Talk about a great assignment huh? Oh well, that's what i get for taking animal behavior. It's not all that bad really. But now you can see why i'm all pysched to be working on making movies, and re-releasing my debut film. (Hey, it worked for Lucas didn't it?)

Oh, and by the way, the computers at Mary Gates Hall are BOTH Macs and PC's. If i were to look at the distribution of the two, i would have to say that the PC's outnumber the Macs by about two to one. Still, it is a huge computer lab, probably more computers in just that one lab, out of all the labs in the school, than the combined amount of Bethel. So yes, there are a bunch of MACs being used.
