Lisa Frank

Sometimes teddy bears do wear top hats!
I love this faux Lisa Frank biopic trailer so hard. I was obsessed with Lisa Frank as a kid.

Red State

This weekend, I went to a screening of Kevin Smith’s new film, Red State, at the New Beverly. He’s touring the country with the film, and doing a Q&A afterwards. I like Kevin Smith’s films, but I like his podcasts and Q&As even more. I’ve been hearing him talk about the film on his various podcasts for a while now, so when the tour finally came to LA, I jumped at the chance to see it.

The film was really good, and very dissimilar to any of Smith’s previous works. There was a lot of unexpected turns, and the ending was great.

The Q&A afterwards was also excellent. As usual, he only managed to answer 1 or 2 questions, with answers so long you forget what prompted them. One such answer was a story I had heard before, but an embellished version, so that was pretty cool.

Glee The 3D Concert Movie

My boyfriend won 2 tickets to a screening of Glee: The 3D Concert Experience. He wasn’t able to go, so I went with my friend from work who is also a big Gleek.

The movie was great! The cast sang all of their best songs, and had interstitials with some real teenagers who had faced or were facing bullying and adversity. They also had cute backstage interviews with the cast, acting as their characters rather than themselves. Which actually made the whole thing a bit meta, since the stories with the real life kids talked about the show itself, but the concert parts were meant to be as though the Glee kids were on a tour. The whole thing was really cute though, and they did a good job of making it seem as though you were at the concert.
