Black Irish

"Hi Christi! Actually, I use Typepad, and tried to use both the atom xml feed provided by Typepad, and my Feedburner link, and neither worked.But I might be a bit confused, so let me run through the steps I used.To add a recent blog about the film Black Irish to my spout site, I did the following:I looked up "Black Irish" on Spout, and copied the film page address, which I believe is http://www.spout.com/films/319 579/default.aspxI pasted the link to the Spout site into my recent post about Black Irish on Typepad, which can be found here:http://popcornnroses.type pad.com/popcorn_n_roses/2007/1 0/an-indie-film-y.htmlI then returned to Spout and ran the Blog program, using both addresses I mentioned above, but neither one saw the link to the Spout page on my Typepad blog. I also tried waiting 24 hours and doing it again,which also failed.If we can figure out what's wrong, or what i'm doing wrong (which is HIGHLY possible, heh heh), i'm planning to link ALL My blogs to the ...

"Greetings! I'm working on updating my Spout site, and I want my posts from my blog to auto load in Spout. I've put a test link into a recent post, but it doesn't pick up the Spout link and thus isn't loading here. I know that when I try it says "No (new) post were found" - does this by chance mean that ONLY new posts (IE dated after I set this in my SpoutBLog info) will pick up? Or is there a way to force it to pick up the Spout links? I'd like to go back and link all my movie posts to Spout, and i'm hoping there is a workaround, or someone might be able to explain what I might be doing incorrectly. If I can get this feature to work, i'm planning to include a Spout link in all my future posts.Thanks,TC " [More]

"HOT FUZZRATED: RSTARS: SIMON PEGG, NICK FROST, TIMOTHY DALTON, JIM BROADBENT, PADDY CONSIDINE, RAFE SPALL, EDWARD WOODWARDDIRECTOR: EDGAR WRIGHT**********Sergeant Nicholas Angel (Pegg) is a top cop in London whose exemplary record - 400% better than most of his colleagues - is making the rest of his department look bad. Now coming back from an injury, he finds that his superiors have conspired to ship him off to the backcountry as the newest addition to the force in the seemingly crime free hamlet of Sanford.None too pleased about the way he's being shipped off, Angel nevertheless throws himself into the job with gusto - so much in fact that he is more than a little disturbed by a string of "accidents" that appear to be much more, and is frustrated by the lack of action from his new police comrades, who would rather keep the status quo of the village and sit around the office having cake and ice cream.Paired with a bumbling new partner, PC Danny Butterman (Frost), the son of po ...

"SPIDER-MAN 3RATED PG-13 STARS: TOBEY MAGUIRE, KIRSTEN DUNST, JAMES FRANCO, THOMAS HADEN CHURCH, TOPHER GRACE, BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD, ROSEMARY HARRISDIRECTOR: SAM RAIMI**************I've never been a huge fan of Spider-Man, but i've followed the comic over the years occasionally, so I know how some of the stories are supposed to be.Spider-Man 3 takes plenty of liberties with the comic mythos, and does so with great style and panache, but it no doubt has some comic fans aghast with the number of changes director Raimi takes.This time, Peter Parker AKA Spider-Man (Maguire) is on the verge of asking his long time girlfriend Mary Jane Watson (Dunst) for her hand in marriage, but his plans are derailed by a number of factors, not the least of which is his running feud with former best friend Harry Osborne (Franco) who has vowed to kill Spider-Man, whom he believes is responsible for the death of his father (see Spider-Man 1).Throw into the mix a new bad guy, the Sandman (Church), w ...

Koyaanisqatsi

A Plea to Godfrey Reggio - Plea ...

"After attending this past weekend's IMAX movie for the PNR Summer Tour (see review from Monday), I started thinking about other films that would lend themselves to the IMAX format. One movie in particular stands out to me as the perfect candidate for the IMAX treatment. It has long been one of my all-time favorite films, and its visual style was way ahead of its time.And now, as the 25th anniversary of the film's release is looming in 2008, I think it's time to take the next logical step into IMAX. I've been saying so for YEARS and now is the perfect time for it.The film is Godfrey Reggio's incredible 1983 visual masterpiece, Koyaanisqatsi (see Popcorn's Pix here). Backed with it's mesmering Philip Glass score, this movie is just SCREAMING to be brought to the IMAX or IMAX 3-D format.For those of you unfamiliar with Reggio's work, Koyaanisqatsi (the title is Hopi indian for "life out of balance") is a visual and aural masterpiece about our world and ...

But Air Guitar Nation changes your perspective very quickly. Because although the particpants in the World Air Guitar finals take it very seriously, they also admit that what they are doing is one of the silliest things most people have ever heard of.The story focuses on a couple of young entrepreneurs who decide that it's high time that America particpate. The contest has been going on since 1996, but an American champion had never been crowned before. In 2003, they set off to find the best American air guitarist and send him or her to the world finals in Oulu, Finland.What fol ... " [More]

"(Review originally posted on PNR on 4/22/07)WRISTCUTTERS: A LOVE STORYNOT RATEDSTARS: PATRICK FUGIT, SHANNYN SOSSAMON, SHEA WIGHAM, TOM WAITS, LESLIE BIPP, TOM ARNETT, ABRAHAM BENRUBIDIRECTOR: GORAN DUKICFor those who are curious about life after death, and especially for those who wonder what happens when they kill themselves, Wristcutters: A Love Story offers up an unusual side trip.The movie is the story of Zia (Fugit), a twentysomething young man from New Jersey who kills himself (the suicide opens the movie) over something that happened between he and his girlfriend (it's never actually revealed what happened, but it's implied that he may have found out she was cheating on him).Zia informs us via voiceover that life after death isn't much different from regular life, except that it might even be worse. Since offing himself, he's found a job at Kamikaze Pizza, he lives with a fussy Austrian roommate (Benrubi), and spends his off time hanging out at a local bar, ... " [More]
