HI There, As you probably know I love film, food and random things. I am also gay and constantly on the lookout for love. I live by myself with an insane and slightly evil cat named Dark. Feel free to say hi - friendships rule.
This was on the TV this morning as the third most clicked item on the internet in the last 24hrs. It's a silly parody of New Moon - but it made me laugh. Some people have way too much time on their hands. These guys have done quite a few parodies in their time and you can find more of the "Three Wolf Moon" crew on YouTube.
I in NO WAY support the illegal downloading of movies, it is ruining an industry and yet every few days I log on I find an entire page of new posts of the links to visit to download these said "illegal" downloads. There are plenty of places to obtain them - is it necessary for Orble to become one of them?
Movie piracy is sometimes just the tip of the iceberg. Evidence exists that movie piracy is linked to other criminal activity affecting local communities throughout Australia.
With well over 1000% profit margins DVD piracy can be more profitable than drug trafficking. DVD pirates are not merely a product of market forces and entrepreneurship, central to their business model is criminal behavior extending beyond copyright theft. Money laundering, protection rackets, and even violent territorial warfare are all practices not uncommon to piracy business operations.
The latest anti piracy campaign appears in cinemas, on DVDs and in DVD rental and retail stores nationally, challenging Australians to consider "what are you really burning?" before they burn, buy or download pirated films.
With the Australian film industry losing over $230m yearly, and illegal DVD's almost equalling legal copies in circulation (47m vs 52m), film and TV piracy poses a real threat to our economy, jobs and the future of our films.
Movie making is a risky business with only 4 out of 10 movies ever recouping their initial investment. Like every business, the industry relies on its profits to invest in future products. The revenue lost from piracy means there is less investment money available. Less money means fewer films are financed, which means fewer jobs are created, and there are fewer films for us to see.
There are a growing number of industry voices including those of George Miller, Clayton Jacobson, Phillip Noyce, Joel Edgerton and Margaret Pomeranz speaking out against film and TV piracy and its negative impact on Australia and Australians.
"Some of our best films often take 10 years to get off the ground," says Dr Miller. "It is too easy to burn it. It only takes a few minutes to burn a film and that work is lost."
"Piracy basically robs the work of incredibly hardworking and talented people in the film industry and if we don't do something about it, a precious thing will be lost."
"For people like me, it's okay, I'm successful, I'm doing okay. But for every one person like me, like the people on "Happy Feet", there are 900 other people who worked on a film like that whose work is being ripped off. It makes it harder for them to get a job next time."

The teenage book to movie world is going mental thanks to Harry Potter and more recently Twilight. This continues the mystical with a retake on the Beauty and the Beast story. It stars Alex Pettyfer, Vanessa Hudgens, Neil Patrick Harris and Mary Kate Olsen. It will be directed by Daniel Barnz who has two films under his belt that I have never heard of. Phoebe in Wonderland and The Cutting Room. I hope the film turns out nicely because I really like Pettyfer and thought he should be a HUGE film star ever since the mediocre Stormbreaker came out. He has the looks and he has that insane Brithish accent. Alex was also in Wild Child. You should all know Vanessa Hudgens, she is the other, way less attractive half of High School Musical hehe.
A beast. Not quite wolf or bear, gorilla or dog but a horrible new creature who walks upright, a creature with fangs and claws and hair springing from every pore. I am a monster.
You think i'm talking fairy tales? No way. The place is New York City. The time is now. It's no deformity, no disease. And I'lll stay this way forever, ruined, unless I can break the spell.
Pettyfer looking not too Beastly
Yes, the spell, the one the witch in my English class cast on me. Why did she turn me into a beast who hides by day and prowls by night? I'lll tell you. I'll tell you how I used to be Kyle Kingsbury, the guy you wished you were, with money, perfect looks, and the perfect life. And then, I'll tell you how I became perfectly . . . beastly.
I am looking forward to this one but unfortunately it won't hit screens until July 30 2010 - still lots of post production to be done. I will wait Alex
Although there are very few foods that cause instant death, there are some well known, and not so well known, dangerous foods that we should all be aware of. This list is by no means comprehensive, but it hits some of the more common dangerous ingredients you could encounter. These posinous foods are all naturally occuring and we could all die from them, some due to massive, near impossible levels of consumtion but some people with low tolerance can die quickly from these.
This list was originally produced in 2008 by Dahlia Rideout. A lot of them surprised the hell out of me. Everyone knows the Blowfish is poisonous but also a huge delicacy - it is kind of the Russian Roullette of eating. And I feel massively sorry for dogs, cats and other animals for their intolerance to chocolate - that is just a cruel twist of life for them [ Click here to read more ]
When two knights (Nicolas Cage, Ron Perlman) return from the Crusades, they find their homeland ravaged by the Black Plague. The church blames the plague on sorcery, and orders the knights to escort an accused witch (Claire Foy) to a remote abbey , where monks will perform a ritual that they hope will put an end to the pestilence. When they arrive, the knights make a horrific discovery that pits them against a powerful and destructive force.
The wait is over Twilighters - it's time to don your team Jacob or team Edward kit and head out to do battle in the cinema queues. I entered the foray of female teenage hordes and popped in to watch New Moon after work today and besides my constant desire to rip holes in the throats of screaming teenagers through the entire film I was mind blown at how good this episode is.
Inspired by a true story, THE BOYS ARE BACK is a deeply moving, wryly confessional tale of fatherhood, that intimately evokes both the fragility and wonders of family life. It follows a witty, wisecracking, action-oriented sportswriter Joe Warr (CLIVE OWEN) who, in the wake of his wife's tragic death, finds himself in a sudden, stultifying state of single parenthood. With turbulent emotions swirling just below the surface, Joe Warr throws himself into the only child-rearing philosophy he thinks has a shot at bringing joy back into their lives: "just say yes
VINYAN is a film that takes every parent's worst nightmare and follows it into new realms of sheer horror. This film is what would happen if the Lord of the Flies had unprotected sex with Apocolyspe Now on acid.
After losing their only child in the devastating tsunami of Southeast Asia, Paul (Rufus Sewell, DARK CITY) and Janet Belhmer (Emmanuelle Beart, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE) barely have the strength to go on. Despite being a little disturbed by Janet's seemingly irrational claims that she saw their son in a documentary about the orphans living in the Burmese jungle, Paul shows his support by agreeing to join her on a search for the boy. But what they encounter on their trip are horrors both earthly and ungodly: drug traffickers threaten their lives and the presence of a clan of inexplicably rabid children seem to suggest a fate that goes far beyond death
I am getting so bored staying in with this flu and in constant want of chocolate for self sympathising that I made some of these yummy muffins this morning. They are absolutely mouth watering and will change your world, they also stopped me from eating all the nutella out of a jar with a spoon.
Ruby - it is based on the tale of Romeo and Juliet - I am not comparing - I am stating fact. Poor old Bard R&J is my all time fave story hence the appeal with this. Edward always talks of what he would do if Bella was not around anymore and it is suicide every time. But their massive problem is that Edward pretty much is nearly impossible to kill or to die. Hence his dillemna.
And it is not being excused for anything. I never once believe it is shocking - it is like a trashy airport novel - you love them at the right time. I love this story - it goves you the Bold and The Beautiful/ Melrose Place kind of mixture but put out as a thrilling tale. I point out the things I dislike - and like I said to Sean at work, like ANY film, it could have been done better.
It is all about the suspension of belief - if everything had to look amazing, be written superbly and acted brilliantly - then there would NEVER be anything on TV. Seriously - I find Dr Who the most hideously acted and visual sci fi I have ever seen - but watch 3 episodes and you are hooked and your belief in the show grows.
People will walk into this film knowing whether they can like it or not. Bryn is honest and up front - wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Jesus - he knew he hated it so watched it that way. Sean, a friend from work, was forced to watch it with his girlfriend - he was dreading it before he walked in and spent 2 and a 1/4 hrs tearing it apart - no point in even watching or attempting to enjoy if that is the case.
And superbly finished with your last line. You should read the first book - I want to see you converted - haha
Society dictated for me when I was at school - the Class of 90 (showing my age here) was considered the last class of the 80's by my school and the community!
What is Craigslist?? Only thing I have never heard of.
Divine Helen - I have free reign of mum's kitchen for a week at Xmas and this looks like a sure fire hit over the Xmas week to impress some locals. The grape and chardonnay is already in the menu for Xmas cake alternate for 16 people. Will take some pics and show you how it goes.
A glass of cognac for the meal and a glass of cognac for me, a glass of cognac for the meal and a glass of cognac for me Oh sorry - 2TBSP for the meal and a glass for me. Haha
And I found the movie great - as you can see above and an awesome movie translation - if you are a fan I think you will enjoy it.
It is kind of funny though when Ed takes his gear off at the end - it's the climax and off comes his shirt to laughs and giggles as we have just watched the buffed up Jacob for 2hrs and then scrawny "junkie" looking Ed reveals himself. It was funny.
