Cool interactive thing...

I found this link on Fark. Its an interactive timeline of the events in the middle east starting in December. You can direct the movement a two ways (dragging the date on the top, or pulling the ball by the word "navigate"). Then there are different icons to highlight various events to read the first few lines of the article on that event, if you click on the icons it gives you the whole article. Its really interesting to see the events on a timeline like this as you can see how things are changing and where.

The Path of Protest

Sundance!

Just thinking about film, I wanted to post something about my experiences at the 07 Sundance Film Festival. It was the most fun I had with going to  movies. I saw about 2 premiers and just missed the premier for "Black Snake Moan". I was under 21 at the time so I couldn't go to some premiers and parties. It was really fun because everyone there was passionate about watching and making films. Some films had panels and Q&A portions after the films with actors and directors. I suggest everyone watch "Four Sheets to the Wind", "Year of the Fish", and "Black Snake Moan" (I missed the premier, but I just think that it was awesome that I was at there). I think anyone who even thinks that they want to make movies should go, they have so many discussions and panels that talk about new technology and methods and just all the networking that can go on there.

Early movie watching....

The earliest movie I remember seeing in the theater was Aladdin. We went and saw it with some cousins. That's about all I remember from it. My family liked to go to movies a few times a month. So I saw all the Disney movies and a few other kids movies growing up. I've grown to like more chick-flicks and artsy/dramatic movies.
