I watched the trailer for Camp earlier today. It looks interesting. I'll see if I can find a cheap DVD or even catch it online somewhere.
Looooved her karaoke moment in Up In The Air!

If you can find a copy of a movie called CAMP, you might like it. The music is really good. The story's great. And she's hilarious. She can really sing too. I'd make you a copy if my burner wasn't broken.

Can I just say that I totally DISLIKED Vera Farmiga's character? I don't really know why, but I didn't notice anything oscar-worthy. But well, maybe that's because I just disliked Alex for the whole movie somehow and I've never seen Vera Farmiga before so ... maybe I need to see more. And maybe I was focused too much on Anna Kendrick. LOL She really DID deserve her nomination! Can't wait to see more of her work!

Glad you liked it, Anne. Everyone was great in it, even the loathsome Danny McBride, I must admit. I definitely want the DVD.

So, I've finally seen the movie (as I said in the other thread, I saw it yesterday) and I have to say, I love it even more than the book, and that means something because it's really rare. I didn't manage to finish the book before seeing the movie though, and that' something I am planning to accomplish tonight. I can see the movie is "based on" the novel, but somehow I think I'm missing something. I am halfway through it and Natalie didn't show up yet. But well, maybe she will, I'll see later.
I really loved Anna Kendrick's performance and Clooney was great too, I just thought maybe he was a little "old" for that role. I mean, in the book the guy is supposed to be 35, right? Oh well, I'm not complaining. He was great anyway. So I can say that the movie fully met my expectations and it's already added to my DVD list.

I've only seen Twilight so far. There are bigger versions of those pics in the Gallery. We really love the smoking one (even though we don't like smoking). It's just very classic-looking and cool. We've used it for a bunch of stuff.

Thanks for the pictures Deb! They are wonderful. How nice of Chris Lowell to ask permission first. What a class act he must be! I did see "Camp." I love Kendrick as Jess in Twilight movies too.

I really like those pictures. Chris is looking as handsome as always.

Anna Kendrick has really come a long way. She's great. Have you seen Camp, Lindsey? I love that movie. I think TeeJay started talking to Chris Lowell before Graduation ever even came out. He put up some photos he took of Chris on the Graduation set on his personal photography website and she emailed him to ask if we could add them to our gallery. He was so sweet about it. He said he'd be happy to let us use them, but he wanted to check with Mr. Marquette first to see if it was OK because he was smoking in one of the pics and Mr. Lowell wasn't sure it was appropriate to spread that pic around. Marquette said yes we could use them and the rest is history.

These are the photos, just in case you don't know which ones I was talking about...

Here's why I mainly loved it: the dialog. I love it when people in movies talk like real people, but maybe just a wee bit more clever than most. I thought it was beautifully written and acted. I really thought I was going to hate Natalie, but I ended up loving her and feeling very sad that she got smacked square in the face with real life at such a young age. And I liked the way it ended because it left us believing that Ryan was going to take Natalie's advice and use some of his miles to actually go and see some of the world. (I also liked that he gave a bunch to his sister and brother-in-law.) Since he lived so frugally, I bet he had tons of money saved up and could just retire and finally go out and enjoy himself. And now that he has fallen in love --- even though he got his heart broken --- he knows he can. And so hopefully now he'll go out and love some more (to quote Maude in Harold & Maude).
So I don't see it as a downer at all. I see it as a beginning.

Completely agree with what you said. Especially about Natalie. Wasn't expecting to like her but ended up liking her alot. I felt her character development was really great, accurate and played well by Anna Kendrick. I was glad to see her nominated for an oscar for the role.

Very neat you got an email from Chris Lowell TeeJay. I always loved him on Veronica Mars!

That's really great you heard from Chris Lowell, TJ. I'm green with envy.

Wow, a message from Chris Lowell, that's sooo cool!
I was at my theatre today to watch Did You Hear About The Morgans?. While I had a great time watching Mary Steenburgen on big screen once again I also noticed that Up In The Air hasn't arrived there yet, BUT there were a few posters from the movie on the walls, so this is a big sign that it's coming soon. Hopefully! I can't wait!

Oh, that's so awesome. I could just hug him to pieces. He seems like such a sweetheart.

Chris Lowell answered my e-mail (and he even thanked me for staying in touch). Yay! Here's what he said about Private Practice and Up In The Air:

Thank you for all the kind words about Private Practice. Shonda has been very good to me this season with some of the material I've been given. As for Up In The Air, yes I was originally in more scenes, but that's just the way it goes with films. In post-production, for whatever reason (usually to speed the movie along) they cut several scenes, including several of mine. But it doesn't really matter much to me. I was just happy to have worked with that cast and crew, who were all wonderful. I know the movie has quite a somber tone to it, but it is beautiful and it makes you thankful for what you have.
