Hello, everyone! I didn't mean to be MIA on the Internets for so long. Business continues now that Writing and Illustrating for Young Readers (WIFYR) concluded last week. I thank everyone who filled the classroom for my Heroes and Villains presentation and those who visited me at the signing.Ready for a story? Some years ago before my writing took a more serious turn, I was involved in an online movie review community with a great group of reviewers, movie buffs who have repeatedly put me to shame with their insight and knowledge. At one point, I became an official reviewer of the site. But for various reasons the group disbanded from the site and kept the community alive on Facebook. In the last year, we've tried something new--podcasts on Youtube! I have officially joined as their "resident animation guru." For your listening and viewing pleasure, I present my first contribution to Cinematic Universe Ultimate. Have a listen. Check out their other reviews. Like and share, if you'd like.
The channel is young and I'm warming up to being on a microphone. Warning: there's major spoilers and some language (22:45) ahead.
Back to writing and setting up my Illinois tour. See you next time! :)
Who's surprised by Jurassic World and Inside Out's BO records? Have you seen these yet? What are your thoughts about Inside Out?
I'm David, and "I would DIE for Riley..."
I still haven't seen it, but I really really want to!
ReplyDeleteThat's cool you're doing a podcast.
ReplyDeleteI saw Jurassic World but haven't seen Inside Out yet. Still leery of Pixar after the last few films.
If you liked Up, you'll probably like Inside Out. My family thought Up was utterly depressing and they didn't like either film. They both have prominent sad/bittersweet story lines.
DeleteI enjoyed both movies, though I did cry at the end of Inside Out, and I rarely cry in movies.
A movie review podcast sounds fantastic! I'll definitely be checking these out.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on successfully teaching your course! Heroes and Villains sounds like a great topic. In fact, I have a similar topic offered on my list of school presentations, but no school has asked for that one yet. :( They keep picking the same presentation (POV) over and over. I'm getting a little tired of that one and hope some day to be able to do one on Heroes & Villains!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear your course was successful. School talks are difficult to score.
ReplyDeleteI'm just discovering the wonderful world of podcasts. A treasure trove to be sure. Best of luck with yours.
ReplyDeleteThis podcast sounds like a great idea! I LOVED Jurassic World (I actually wrote a whole blog post about it this week), and I really want to see Inside Out, but my partner isn't convinced!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, and i'm going to listen to your review.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you again! Congrats on the new review. Sounds like fun :)
ReplyDeleteCool you're doing a podcast. I really want to see Inside Out.
ReplyDeleteThe podcast is cool.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Inside Out, but I've heard great things about it.
LOL...speaking of MIA (cough, cough). I'm looking forward to watching Inside Out. Wishing you luck on your Illinois tour - fun times!! :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool that you're warming up to the microphone:) It's not as easy as people seem to think.
ReplyDeleteSon 1's friend (who happens to be a girl) is taking him to see it tomorrow. Lucky boy. :)
ReplyDeleteI think you are the perfect person to do animation movie reviews. In fact, I may be experiencing "Joy."
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being in the podcast.
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things about In and Out. Maybe I'll go see it while hubby's gone. We enjoyed Jurassic Park. Better than the second and third movies. Good pop corn fun.
The family is talking about seeing Inside Out, so I'm sure we'll be going to it soon. Besides, my wife would do almost anything for popcorn!
ReplyDeleteLooks cool:) Although with a newborn in the house I probably won't be getting to a movie for some time...figners crossed I'll see Star Wars when it comes out;)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I prefer to go into movies blind...or at least after finding a general star rating. It's fun to be surprised, right?
ReplyDeleteI still have to watch both movies. :-)
ReplyDeleteHaha! What a variegated life you've led, my friend! I haven't seen either of these movies yet, which is strange: I'd normally never miss a Wes Anderson, Pixar or Miyazaki.
