Beauty & the Beast 3D

The El Capitan Theater on Hollywood Boulevard is owned by Disney and exclusively shows Disney movies. This month, they had special screenings of Beauty and the Beast in 3D. It will not come out to the general population for a few more months.

I hadn’t seen Beauty & the Beast in a long time, but from the first lyric, it all came rushing back. The 3D was mostly okay. Sometimes I honestly couldn’t tell if it was 3D or not. This was the first time I’d ever seen it in the theater, so that was pretty great.

Bonjour, girl!

This video is hilarious and makes me anxious to see Beauty and Beast 3D soon!!

“I can hear you bitches!!”

40 Things That Will Make You Feel Old

I feel so.... so... oooolllllddddd

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.

Amy Winehouse

Wow, this is a very beautiful and fitting eulogy for Amy Winehouse by her good friend, Russell Brand.

5 Acts of Nature...

That Changed the Face of the Planet!

This list is somewhat reassuring, oddly. If all these crazy things have happened to the planet, then all the stuff that's going on now with earthquakes and tsunamis and volcanoes is just a normal part of how nature works. And NOT signs of the apocalypse or anything other stupid thing crazy people are claiming.

Cracked is totally my new favorite website, btw.

Earless Is The New Earful

The bunny has no ears!

I don't know how to feel about this. On one hand, this is terrible... but on the other hand, this is adorable!

Boot Camp

Today was the last class of my first Boot Camp session!! It’s been so great, and really challenging. It’s such a great work out. Working out in a group makes me feel like I need to push myself more to keep up with everyone else. Plus, this way I don’t have to go to a gym or something and try to figure out what to do myself.

I feel so much more in shape than I was when I started, and I’ve been eating a lot healthier as well. I’ve lot a bit of weight and have more energy. I even signed up for the next session, along with a couple of my co-workers!
