Isn't it obvious you'll never find your keys? I'm really pretty good at hiding stuff.<br /><br />So enough beating around the bush. This blog and I are through. Please don't cry! After all, most good things have to come to an end. And I say 'most' because some good things just change into better things. This blog is one of them.<br /><br />And that's change we can believe in.<br /><br />That's right, your keys will remain safely hidden... on Facebook. A lot has changed over on the old FB. What was once bland and droll has a new freshness and charisma. In the name of consolidation and cutting-edge technology adoption, I will be utilizing my Facebook wall as a blog.<br /><br />So all of your favorite movie posters, featured artists, and more will live on. It may look different, but underneath it's just the status quo. I'm going to try to make the wall as accessible as possible, but I haven't quite figured out a way to accommodate non-FBers.<br /><br />Hopefully the day will come when Facebookans and Blogocrats can live together in peace and understanding. But until a new Idea rises from the chaos, we'll have to make the best of the imperfect system that we've been given.<br /><br /><br />I'm Michael Sean Hansen and I approve this message.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/people/Michael_Sean_Hansen/17826650" title="Michael Sean Hansen's Facebook profile" target=_TOP><img src="http://badge.facebook.com/badge/17826650.1156.1840169600.png" border=0 alt="Michael Sean Hansen's Facebook profile"></a>michael seanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06227830492636416604noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-194151352831348125.post-27257311056392270102008-07-21T09:41:00.005-06:002008-07-21T12:39:12.575-06:00Hit the Links: WordleHey all.

So I think it's time to take the blog off the backburner and put it... well, not on a front burner, but maybe one of those cozy middle ones.<br /><br />Which brings us to <i>The Fall</i>. As I've occasionally mentioned it to people, I've noticed that most haven't even heard of it. Time to fix that! The story revolves around a crippled stunt man telling an epic fable to a little Romanian girl. The resulting imagery is some of the most stunning art I've ever seen on screen.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMuOgqda7x2rYZjyeLk9AZDKlgrP_t3k7r7Ep00_W9pb8V7H8Ps6VNk1-mbt96zmd_logUesQpD8vW2thSIP7Iz45y02Roh4PMnUrEiRywq0WvFxY-a-bgsOoUVJP0m_OMl8LTyu6VBU6w/s1600-h/fall.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMuOgqda7x2rYZjyeLk9AZDKlgrP_t3k7r7Ep00_W9pb8V7H8Ps6VNk1-mbt96zmd_logUesQpD8vW2thSIP7Iz45y02Roh4PMnUrEiRywq0WvFxY-a-bgsOoUVJP0m_OMl8LTyu6VBU6w/s400/fall.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215689616925200386" border="0" /></a><span style="margin: 0px auto; text-align: center; display: block;font-size:0.8em;" >A small taste.</span><br />And I'm not exaggerating! You'll see stuff you've never imagined, and it's all done without computer graphics. That said, DO NOT watch the trailer! Let yourself be surprised.

But at age 78, life seems to have passed him by, until a twist of fate (and a persistent 8-year old Wilderness Explorer named Russell) gives him a new lease on life."<br /><br />My hunch is that this will be like <i>Ratatouille</i> - well-made, but a little on the slow side.<br /><br /><b><i>Toy Story 3</i></b><br /><b>Release date:</b> 18 June 2010<br /><b>Synopsis:</b> "The creators of the beloved <i>Toy Story</i> films re-open the toy box and bring moviegoers back to the delightful world of Woody, Buzz and our favorite gang of toy characters in <i>Toy Story 3</i>."<br /><br />Not much of a synopsis, but you can't really go wrong with a <i>Toy Story</i> story.<br /><br /><b><i>Newt</i></b><br /><b>Release date:</b> Summer 2011<br /><b>Synopsis:</b> "What happens when the last remaining male and female blue-footed newts on the planet are forced together by science to save the species, and they can't stand each other? Newt and Brooke embark on a perilous, unpredictable adventure and discover that finding a mate never goes as planned, even when you only have one choice. Love, it turns out, is not a science."<br /><br />From any other studio I'd expect a lot of awkward jokes to come from a premise like that, but Pixar can handle it.<br /><br /><b><i>The Bear and the Bow</i></b><br /><b>Release date:</b> Christmas 2011<br /><b>Synopsis:</b> "A rugged and mythic Scotland is the setting for Pixar's action-adventure <i>The Bear and the Bow</i>. The impetuous, tangle-haired Merida, though a daughter of royalty, would prefer to make her mark as a great archer. A clash of wills with her mother compels Merida to make a reckless choice, which unleashes unintended peril on her father's kingdom and her mother's life. Merida struggles with the unpredictable forces of nature, magic and a dark, ancient curse to set things right."<br /><br />They're being a little coy with the plot details, but this sounds pretty epic.<br /><br /><b><i>Cars 2</i></b><br /><b>Release date:</b> Summer 2012<br /><b>Synopsis:</b> "All the world's a racetrack as racing superstar Lightning McQueen zooms back into action, with his best friend Mater in tow, to take on the globe's fastest and finest in this thrilling high-octane new installment of the <i>Cars</i> saga."<br /><br />Wow, I didn't know <i>Cars</i> was a saga! Actually, <i>Cars</i> has been my least favorite Pixar film so far, but that doesn't mean much... That's like trying to pick your least favorite Beatles song.<br /><br /><br /><span style="text-size:1.1em;"><b><u>Disney:</u></b></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4JSI6FtpDQg_g2cB130qTusyP1dDzRTRLoYIZAXfu6rvHmmU-Z05oqhKKcWtuxb62y7NKYmMcDG0MA3vwGzhdyjukZ9B8ScO5PPonzHxOo5HzU6qFzvhaoe7Gp0I4InzYF0eWEXxFOO7I/s1600-h/disney.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4JSI6FtpDQg_g2cB130qTusyP1dDzRTRLoYIZAXfu6rvHmmU-Z05oqhKKcWtuxb62y7NKYmMcDG0MA3vwGzhdyjukZ9B8ScO5PPonzHxOo5HzU6qFzvhaoe7Gp0I4InzYF0eWEXxFOO7I/s400/disney.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187502921986850834" /></a><br /><b><i>Bolt</i></b><br /><b>Relese date:</b> 26 November 2008<br /><b>Synopsis:</b> "For super-dog Bolt (voiced by John Travolta), every day is filled with adventure, danger and intrigue -- at least until the cameras stop rolling. When the canine star of a hit TV show is accidentally shipped from his Hollywood soundstage to New York City, he begins his biggest adventure yet -- a cross-country journey through the real world."<br /><br />Hmm... talking dogs, a cross-country journey? Sounds a bit like <i>Homeward Bound</i>, eh? At least Disney is copying its own movies...<br /><br /><b><i>The Princess and the Frog</i></b><br /><b>Release date:</b> Christmas 2009<br /><b>Synopsis:</b> "A musical set in the greatest city of them all, New Orleans, <i>The Princess and the Frog</i> marks Disney's return to the timeless art form of traditional animation. The film teams Ron Clements and John Musker, creators of "The Little Mermaid" and "Aladdin," with Oscar®-winning composer Randy Newman to tell the most beautiful love story ever told ... with frogs, voodoo, and a singing alligator."<br /><br />This is actually my favourite of this pack. I'm not the biggest Randy Newman fan, but I can't wait for another classic fairy tale in hand-drawn animation.<br /><br /><b><i>Rapunzel</i></b><br /><b>Release date:</b> Christmas 2010<br /><b>Synopsis:</b> "In this new telling of the classic fairy tale, <i>Rapunzel</i>, audiences will be transported to a stunning CG fantasy world complete with the iconic tower, an evil witch, a gallant hero and, of course, the mysterious girl with the long golden tresses."<br /><br />I think it's too early to tell on this one, because there are so many directions they could take it. But just the word "mysterious" gives me hope.<br /><br /><b><i>King of the Elves</i></b><br /><b>Release date:</b> Christmas 2012<br /><b>Synopsis:</b> "Legendary storyteller Phillip K. Dick's short story (his only experiment in the fantasy genre) becomes the basis for this fantastic and imaginative tale about an average man living in the Mississippi Delta, whose reluctant actions to help a desperate band of elves leads them to name him their new king."<br /><br />We're going way into the future here, but I'll just say that this sounds amazing. I really think Disney is slowly getting it's mojo back.<br /><br /><br />For more details, you can check out the <a href="http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/080408/latu095.html?.v=101">full press release here</a>.michael seanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06227830492636416604noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-194151352831348125.post-11974832581692393362008-04-07T00:12:00.002-06:002008-04-07T00:17:39.061-06:00Shotgun Stories (Trailer)Here's another movie that probably won't get much face time.

This poster for <span style="font-style: italic;">My Blueberry Nights</span> (by <a href="http://www.indika.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Indika</span> Entertainment Advertising</a>) is on the sparkly, highly-saturated bandwagon. <span style="font-style: italic;">Blueberry Nights</span> is full of A-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">listers</span>, including Norah Jones, but I have to say the movie looks pretty boring. At least the poster has something going for it.<br /><br />I don't quite know how to describe <span style="font-style: italic;">The Fall</span>, but boring it is not. This is the latest <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">dreamscape</span> by the director of <span style="font-style: italic;">The Cell</span>. The poster (by <a href="http://www.thearterie.com/arterie.html">The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Arterie</span></a>) reminds me of <a href="http://www.andriaroberto.com/Salvador%20Dali%20-%20Mae%20West.jpg">something Salvador Dali would have done</a> - like it or not, it stays with you.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJhOWtSG0VguzuNxPJycHKZOhes6spEKfzPD9LYDzgI1PMSiIRn9lX1KKCURJjN3tdwYjYfW6FzHeGsb420KwIGj0NsrWiAV5ACNi835PyfKTCtrJtx-LlPSMvdp-yyrwxpvD_oqtKEtRA/s1600-h/03.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJhOWtSG0VguzuNxPJycHKZOhes6spEKfzPD9LYDzgI1PMSiIRn9lX1KKCURJjN3tdwYjYfW6FzHeGsb420KwIGj0NsrWiAV5ACNi835PyfKTCtrJtx-LlPSMvdp-yyrwxpvD_oqtKEtRA/s400/03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184900779510193234" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkG6Gs336NcFzBxK1cELJTesYuqflBuIcX2WyfgGAKKNsKfgSUmDvyz2OkxuIWy2Pi7TcMXm3Ta3nDoa-VOPplDHPj9u-E4TzTx-3eAKHB0iDYAUGGdGBATInVQoekLVYm1QUNGypjVfDl/s1600-h/04.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkG6Gs336NcFzBxK1cELJTesYuqflBuIcX2WyfgGAKKNsKfgSUmDvyz2OkxuIWy2Pi7TcMXm3Ta3nDoa-VOPplDHPj9u-E4TzTx-3eAKHB0iDYAUGGdGBATInVQoekLVYm1QUNGypjVfDl/s400/04.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184900929834048610" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Up next is the best of the West. These both have a sort of gritty and over-exposed feel to them. Don't let the posters fool you, though - neither film is a Western in the strictest sense. <span style="font-style: italic;">Sukiyaki Western <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Django</span></span> is an artsy Japanese take on the genre (think <span style="font-style: italic;">The Ring</span> meets <span style="font-style: italic;">3:10 to Yuma </span><span>meets</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> Pulp Fiction</span>). There's nothing revolutionary going on with the poster, but it's very well put-together.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Surveillance</span>, meanwhile, is a rough looking thriller directed by David Lynch's daughter, Jennifer. The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">rotoscoped</span> look isn't too common with posters like this, and I think the type work adds to the freshness of it.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGSJJz6cwiCP1E-guIv-Ar8FoAJst-m4KfdTUyXRMpPWuvaobn5lWqUDX7EhgQrZQj7zkwoc4GgcAjB7_q4CoM8FRJBx9eeNoGT4OfxYFWz8eosJfcFEHNEIi9CxCS30QJ3U1L3Ab99Ear/s1600-h/05.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGSJJz6cwiCP1E-guIv-Ar8FoAJst-m4KfdTUyXRMpPWuvaobn5lWqUDX7EhgQrZQj7zkwoc4GgcAjB7_q4CoM8FRJBx9eeNoGT4OfxYFWz8eosJfcFEHNEIi9CxCS30QJ3U1L3Ab99Ear/s400/05.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184904138174618738" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdhcA1jfSoNXkik40FBtsoujD0aZ6l7I6rM5ZE-35cnafOmom5w_a7Bs7e6o1qb85_wSDNuqs609S9o6CKi1DQzMd8OdTzyi-kWF5AqRV6xb5d6Vp57Pq1WuNiwzlp6eA04STOTaGuFHpv/s1600-h/06.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdhcA1jfSoNXkik40FBtsoujD0aZ6l7I6rM5ZE-35cnafOmom5w_a7Bs7e6o1qb85_wSDNuqs609S9o6CKi1DQzMd8OdTzyi-kWF5AqRV6xb5d6Vp57Pq1WuNiwzlp6eA04STOTaGuFHpv/s400/06.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184904249843768450" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />These last two are so simple but they still manage to instantly grab you. The <span style="font-style: italic;">X-Files 2</span> poster (by <a href="http://www.bltomato.com/blt.php">BLT</a>) made it on here just for creativity (even though it completely defies the laws of physics).<br /><br />This poster for <span style="font-style: italic;">Funny Games</span> is my favorite of the bunch. It was designed by <a href="http://www.crewcreative.com/">Crew Creative</a>, which also seems to have the coolest portfolio of the bunch. The concept is so simple, but it has emotion.

There's no more <span style="font-style: italic;">Lord of the Rings</span>. No more <span style="font-style: italic;">Star Wars </span>(unless you count this summer's animated <a href="http://www.starwars.com/video/view/000478.html"><span style="font-style: italic;">Clone Wars</span></a>). And hopefully there won't be any more <span style="font-style: italic;">Spider-Man</span> (sorry, but I just can't take another disappointment).<br /><br />So what do we have to look forward to?<br /><br />Hey, stop crying! (Seriously, you're embarrassing yourself.) Now don't worry, there's hope... and mine rest on the talents of Zack Snyder and James Cameron.<br /><br />First up is Snyder's adaptation of the superhero tale <span style="font-style: italic;">Watchmen</span>. The story in question comes from the highly regarded graphic novel by Alan Moore, and revolves around a band of unwanted superheroes fighting to prevent an imminent apocalypse. Think <span style="font-style: italic;">The Incredibles</span> with higher stakes. I really dug it.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://rss.warnerbros.com/watchmen/2008/03/one_year_to_go_1.html"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjftPK1AwDYi7muMDcRh86eDsyaRdm5OzfHi8MiC2svyocp8X-1OEW9qCzFRSt1fm5k0FfMTl8Dpo1QiCb4tOJ_T1MYFX55MsKEAsT8t3EK5Z00jWhkKLSFdhocKAM-Uy85orepNs4ayMoh/s400/watchmen.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182119294264794050" border="0" /></a><br />Zack (we're on a first name basis) just released <a href="http://rss.warnerbros.com/watchmen/2008/03/one_year_to_go_1.html">some photos</a> of the main characters, and my excitement was kicked up to dangerous levels.

This has already become the most hyped movie since <span style="font-style: italic;">The Phantom Menace</span>. Cameron returns to his sci-fi roots with an epic tale about... some sort of galactic clash of cultures.<br /><br />Most of what we know about <span style="font-style: italic;">Avatar</span> right now comes from speculation and some <a href="http://www.slashfilm.com/2007/04/05/production-art-and-poster-james-camerons-avatar/">fake art</a> (really... don't believe them, it's fake). The excitement is mainly building around the technology behind the film, which involves a new type of motion capture.<br /><br />Cameron's comments in a <a href="http://www.aintitcool.com/node/35672">recent interview</a> put me in nerd heaven:<span style="margin: 30px; display: block;">"I don't know if this will be a good film, great film, awful film, but I can say with absolute certainty that you will see stuff you've never imagined."</span>Who knew a single sentence could make me so happy? Notice he doesn't say "stuff you've never <span style="font-style: italic;">seen</span>." It's stuff we've never <span style="font-style: italic;">imagined</span>. Avatar is slated for a December 18, 2009 release.<br /><br />So there are your shining stars on the cinematic horizon.
