Years Since May 25, 2007

Filed under: Dance — Rebekah @ 9:15 pm

3 years since my last performance. In 2004 with Mustard Seed Dance Company.
8 years since my last L’Ecole de Danse recital.
10 year since my last ballet en pointe, with L’Ecole de Danse!

And yet Ms. Easter asked me to be in her ballet in place of another girl. Pretty amazing.

3 Days rest until dress rehearsals at Anne Arundel Community College.
3 Days of 5 hours at AACC for rehearsals.
3 Days of probably 5 hours at AACC for performances!

 
 

Summer Movie List May 14, 2007

Filed under: Events & Issues — Rebekah @ 3:45 pm

Here’s my list of must-see Summer movies for 2007:

The Invisible (April 27) - I really want to see this movie. A guy is beat up and left for dead. He has to solve it himself if he wants to live.

Spider-Man 3 (May 4th) - Saw it on May 9th: great movie. The relationship between Peter Parker/ Spider-Man and Harry Osbourne/ New Goblin is under fire, as is the relationship between Pete and Mary Jane. This weird black goo comes from space and make Pete too aggressive. It also creates a new villian, adding to the Sandman (poor guy). I really like how it ended, how it discussed choosing to do good and forgiveness without having to “get religion”.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (May 25th) - Enjoyed the first (saw it like 8 times in theaters), was not excited about the second to see it more than once in theaters, but I’m looking forward to seeing Jack Sparrow in the third.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (June 15th) - Enjoyed the first one. This is not necessarily a “must-see” but I probably will.

Ratatouille (June 29th) - Pixar!

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (July 13th) - Harry Potter!! Previews have been awesome! Long live the DA!!

The Bourne Ultimatum (August 3rd) - I hope this one lives up to the first two, which were very good. Maybe it will be a birthday view. Maybe it will be too crowded it’s first weekend.

Becoming Jane (also August 3!) - I’m really excited about this, to see how Anne Hathaway portrays Jane.

Wait for DVD:

Meet the Robinson’s (March 30)

Ocean’s Thirteen (June 8th) - The first was great, the second was not

Shrek the Third (May 18th)

Evan Almighty (June 22nd) - I hope it will be as good, especially because I’d like to see Lauren Graham in a great movie.

Mr. Bean’s Holiday (August 27) - Though I am not a huge fan of Mr. Bean myself, he is funny so I’ll probably see it.

Michael Clayton (September 27) - I think I’ll just see this because it’s my brother’s name!

Across the Universe (September 28) - We saw a preview before Spider-Man 3, it looked interesting.

No thanks:

Surf’s Up - Oh Puh-lease. I saw this preview before I’d even heard of Happy Feet. They may get an audience looking for more funny penguins or not get an audience because they’ve seen enough. I really enjoyed Happy Feet, but did not see March of the Penguins, maybe one penguin movie is enough.

Tim posted his own summer movie list.

 
 

Funny Photos May 10, 2007

Filed under: People — Rebekah @ 6:04 pm

I was just looking at a random photo of my wedding day and went to look at more. I clicked on a full-length of me in my dress eating cake titled “Finger-licking good” and the random photo shown beside it had the same title of Sara Ellen with her fingers in her mouth!

Gilmore Girls is over!

Filed under: Events & Issues — Rebekah @ 3:08 pm

Did you know that next weeks episode on Tuesday, May 15 at 8pm Eastern Time, is the SERIES FINALE for GILMORE GIRLS!! Not the season, the SERIES. It is no more.

Last night after the show, Tim and Emily mentioned having read the information so I decided to see what I could find. I knew it was possible the show would end after Rory graduating grom YALE but that seemed farther off for some reason.

Online, at the CWLounge I found a link to an appearance by Lauren Graham on Ellen [DeGeneres' show] yesterday. It’s a funny video. I think it is funny that Lauren talks almost as fast as Lorelai but with lots more “um”’s and pauses. I just think she would be a cool person to meet. She talks a little about her upcoming movie, Evan Almighty. I hope it’s good because other movies in which she has a part have not been great (The Pacifier). She is also in Because I Said So which is now on DVD and I hope to see soon. The video however does something really weird. They show a still shot of EA but then it cuts to what is supposed to be breaking news about terrorist arrests. It’s hard to tell if this is real or a joke because the quality of this new part is not very good. Then the image gets smaller and there is a bird’s eye view of a town and intermittent scenes from Gilmore Girls. Luke punching Christopher, Lorelai shieling Rory’s eyes, and Luke walking through the bike tournament and confronting Taylor. A reporter says who we were just listening to, U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie. Then it just stops. It doesn’t go back to Ellen or anything. I’d like to know what that’s about because it kind of seemed to relate to the GG clips, like Jon Stewart might do.

Here is another clip of Lauren on Ellen.

Spoilers follow, if you haven’t seen 5/08/07’s epidsode.
