Wow. Lionsgate bought Summit and is planning to extend the Twilight movies beyond the books. I doubt they’ll get RPattz and KStew back, though.

By far the most fun movie I’ve seen this summer is Sharktopus. Granted, I really haven’t seen many movies this summer. I’ve mostly just been hanging out with friends, going out to lunch, and fighting with this young-adult paranormal romance I’ve been writing since January (the book is winning the fight, by the way). As [...]
My First Bieber

Until last night I didn’t know anything about Justin Bieber except for his haircut. (Pro tip: Having a mop-top hairdo and starting your band name with a bee-sound will equal fan mania such as the world has never seen.) I always get a sense of people rolling their eyes about the Biebs, I guess because [...]
Val Kilmer: Straight to DVD?

This article from Salon made me remember how much I used to love Val Kilmer. The story is not indepth at all, but the comments are worth a read. If you’ve never seen The Doors, you should definitely see it for his performance as Jim Morrison (he does his own singing, too). He was also [...]

Good God. I’m coming into the home stretch with my young adult paranormal romance. I’ve written 175 pages in the past six weeks. That is lightning-fast for me, because I am not a speedy writer. I really wanted to get to 300 pages and finish by March 1, but sadly it looks like that is [...]

Huge Hollywood news out of the getting-hard-to-ignore self-publishing realm. So when she couldn’t get a traditional book deal, Amanda Hocking wrote and self-published the Trylle trilogy. It’s a cute, fast-paced paranormal romance about trolls and a seemingly regular teenaged girl who gets called back to become queen of their kingdom. Minnesota twenty-something author Hocking is [...]
Mini bucket list progress report: The Matrix

I could only make it through a little bit of The Matrix. I just have to start owning the fact that I fucking hate dystopian sci-fi unless it’s Blade Runner. Or Brazil. But not this. I really like Keanu Reeves, too, but the film just seemed silly to me, probably in part because I’m coming [...]

According to the Hollywood Reporter, director Kevin Smith bought his own $4 million horror film Red State for $20 instead of auctioning it at Sundance as promised. Smith plans to take the movie on the road himself prior to its October release. Smith said that he had never intended to get into the business of [...]
Seattle Landmark Neptune Closing Update

There was an announcement from the Landmark Theaters CEO this morning that the Neptune Theater in Seattle is closing in February 2011. I called the corporate office of Landmark Theaters and they said that they have no plans to close 30 other theaters as I reported the other day, but their spokeswoman also said that [...]
The Unfair Beauty of Being Shiloh Fernandez

There’s this actor I’m obsessed with, Shiloh Fernandez. He looks and acts like Joaquin Phoenix and I mean that in the best possible way. He was in this really inappropriate, really great indie film called Deadgirl a few years ago. He was also the dreamy boy-next-door in another indie film, Skateland, where he was the [...]
