Guess I need to explain parts of the earlier post a bit.
I like movies. I like electronic movie stuff. I love graphics and photos and doing stuff with stuff on the ‘puter, so that’s part of my addictive hobby, collecting avatars and movie clips and stills and such, when the whim hits. It’s not like I have THAT much stuff, by no means do I. But every so often, the fancy strikes to collect some stuff.
It takes some time, that’s it. It’s a free hobby, considering we have always on internet anyhow, and this computer is long ago paid for, in a round about way. This computer was actually no cost … but the one it replaced due to malfunction was paid for. OK 😉
So, the graphical evidence I collect is for movies that are current or recent, that I like for some reason. Most movies have a web site of their own, and there’s a ton of content to cruise through, download, etc. That’s not counting all the fan sites that are out there. People host websites and collect everything imaginable on a movie or some famous something that will one day be a movie, or TV show, or whatever. They are the folks to find info out from, sniffing the dark alleyways they hear the first news of “When such and such is …” beginning filming, casting, who’s who, etc. First pictures, etc. and etc.
I only get into this with certain things, I’m a movie buff, sort of. I like certain movies, but not everything, and certainly find no value in most movies out there.
The one we are most excited with is the recent Peter Pan (2003) that started in theatres on December 25, 2003. We’ve seen it twice at matinee showings (pricey enuf! Eek!) We are awaiting the DVD release, which shouldn’t be too far away, perhaps May 2004 we are hearing. It’s actually in the cheap theatres already. I’m saddened by that, it’s a wonderful tale and the support for it really is and was lacking. Our meager family of five seeing it twice is the most support for any movie we’ve ever given while it was still in the theatre.
The fact that this wasn’t a “disney” production seems to have hurt it, I guess [glad they didn’t have their paws all over it though!]. It’s absolutely a delightful movie, full of beautiful stuff one could only dream of. It’s a tale of growing up, and oh so fitting for all of us. It’s a classic tale, but only known by those who have lived in the last 100 years. It’s been wonderfully brought to screen finally. And the only consolation to that is the DVD will be out, and it’s appeal may grow. At least we’ll have the DVD for our enjoyment then as well.
Well, the Peter Pan movie site has a lot of material in it. Several movies in the form of trailers, clips, and interviews. You can get a decent eyefull of what the movie is about. But it’s only the tip. It’s such a tease, post theatre for us, to see all the .mov ‘s. Sigh.
