This is sooo cool! the aim is to guess the names of the 50 movies hidden in a painting. I did a Halloween special one once made up only of scary movies, man was it frustrating but loads of fun and very addictive!

Have fun!

So found this 101 things to do in 1001 days thingy and one of the 101 things she gave herself to do was to get 5 people to do the same, and as i thought it was an intresting idea at least to try out once i decided to do the same. so here it is, im not gonna put up the whole rules and guidelines that everyone copies and pastes at the beginning of their list because thats just boring.
The title is pretty self explanatory but all you need to know is that i have to get them done before the end of 1001 days(nothing happens if i don't do it before the end, maybe fallen-13 will give me a verbal beating). started jan 1st 2009, wish me luck!

yes, it's been far too long since my last deviation, i think its been over two months!

I think i can safely say that i have started a new chapter in my life! not going to get into too much detail but it's a huge releif. For the first time in 3 years i'm able to move forward again and it's an amazing feeling!
It's still not over but the worst is behind me..

Hopefully i'll be uploading more consistently from now on so stay tuned!

Thanks for taking your time to stop by to look and read.

yours irritably,

Boy-draws-girl.

ok, so I have this little rutine i do every week, which is to check out the new trailers of upcoming films, and i stumbled upon a trailer for a new film called "The Fall". Its subtle surrealistic poster caught my attention immediatly, and i have been hooked ever since!
I have seen this trailer about 50 times allready and i cant stop! In the 2minutes that seem timeless the vibrant colors, the diversity of the characters and the coustumes effortlessly captivate the inner child in even the most lost adult into a surreal, dream-like state!
I dare compare this peek into "The Fall" to tim burton´s world, not so dark, but definatly just as inviting and imaginative. it definatly has something special!
The director Tarsem Singh whos only other hollywood film was "The cell" may not have been memorable (i blame jennifer lopez) but i beleive "The Fall" will more than make up for it.

Presented by spike jonze and david fincher, i cant see how this is going to dissapoint.

Enjoy :
