And a super crappy quality copy of “To Tundra”
I apologize, I never used this camera before for video, had no idea how bad it was.
1. Move to an artists’ loft in San Francisco. Share a space with five other late 20-somethings, all with adverbs for names. Write one-act anthropomorphic tragedies about a family of rabbits. Blatantly steal from Shakespeare’s later work. “Anthony and Cadbury” will be met with mixed reviews at…
Carnage is really great for the first 2/3. And then really not for the last of it. Basically when John C. Reily snaps the film is over and the last shot can stay. I still need to see Shame and I couldn’t see Hugo in 3D so I don’t really see the point
See, I totally disagree, I actually found the last 3rd to be the most fun. Watching everyone sorta collapse and alliances breakdown and reform, it was hilarious.
And Hugo is still great in 2D or 3D, but hopefully will be re-released what with all the Oscar noms

It does, and it’s really beautiful there. Overlooks the whole city skyline
Scott Pilgrimage: Part Two
So while I was waiting for the show on Sunday, I decided to go on more of a Scott Pilgrimage continuing from where I left off. Some of these took ages to find but I was overjoyed to find them.
Knives’s School
Wychwood Library (where Scott first spots Ramona)
Second Cup (The one where Scott’s sister works at)
Pizza Pizza (Scott & Knives pass it on their first date)
Goodwill (Again, the one Scott & Knives go to on their first date)
Hillcrest Park (Where Scott & Ramona go on their first date)
and the hardest to find but the coolest.
Scott & Wallace’s House (It really is literally a garage)
