AddMoreAddThis!

With the site's newer social bookmarking from addthis.com functioning swell on the News Blog, it's only obligatory to include it in the rest of the site, too!  In the coming weeks, it should be accomplished.

Quick news: that is all.

Let There Be Light

Strangely enough, the glowing tabs at the top of the page did not quite seem to line up with the gray ones on Firefox, though they worked with everything else.  After some tweaking, nudging, and tender loving care, that has been fixed.
 
It's always nice when things function the right way...

Goodbye Ebert & Roeper

This isn't a typical piece of news for this site, but Roger Ebert, the most relevant film critic ever, voluntarily left his show for good this week, after not appearing for 2 years due to a surgical procedure mishap that stole his voice.  The day before he left, Richard Roeper did the same, though his departure was more a contractual one where no new agreement could be reached.

Roeper plans to find a new outlet that allows him to continue eight years after replacing the late great Gene Siskel, and Ebert continues for now by keeping up his written reviews for both paper and online publishing.  Thus, neither of them are "gone," but their show will be after 33 years of production.  Will there ever be such a powerful medium for reviews again, lacking all else but their thumbs?

First College Flick

The first movie I made in college (though more than 20 had already been created) was still "lacking" any sort of university training, it being my first semester there, and me not having taken any classes for that yet. This isn't the best of the bunch, certainly, but it's entertaining for sure. A parodical infomercial for an invention (all classmates had to invent something),The 'Nuther-Time Wheel could be quite useful. The only thing missing from this infomercial is Billy Mays!

Anyhow, this YouTube addition will be embedded before you can say Orange Clean! (But wait, there's more...)

Fireworks!

The latest date added to GPicturama is just a few days ago, but it visually documents where I saw fireworks.  Check it out!
  
Also, there have been some issues with YouTube embedding on the Tons of Sugar Cereal page this week...  Those should be cleared up by the end of the day.
Lastly, we're now using social bookmarking features from addthis.com, which seem much simpler than what was done before!

Sugar Kings

First: Tech problem fixed, and news blogs can resume!
Both "Tons of Sugar Cereal" and "The King Who Rained," the latter of which is above this paragraph, are now viewable on YouTube and are each embedded on their respective pages on this site.  Check 'em out!
Also currently in the works: 1/3 of the Demo Reels are completed, and will be uploaded once they all have been created.
Lastly, at Garett's Movie Ratings part of the site, movie reviews are being experimented with...

Hail the Email

Due to some functionality issues with this blog, here is an attempt to post through email.  If you're able to read this, it must have worked!  Let us hope this issue will cease to last must longer.
