Source Code Gets a Green Light


This is pretty fantastic. Last week I blogged about another blog I found called ScriptShadow where you can read scripts that have either been purchased for production or not. The first script I read was called Source Code. See my blog entry here: http://charleewith2es.blogspot.com/2009/11/my-new-favorite-thing-reading-movie.html

Great news...Source Code has just been given the green light. That means they are going to start production and turn this into a real movie. And guess who is taking the lead....Jake Gyllenhaal.

ScriptShadow is pretty pumped about this as he should be.
He said " You guys did it. By putting Source Code at the top of the Reader List, you convinced Hollywood to take the project seriously and put it into production."
The power of the internet is incredible isn't it. If you want something, demand it.

This is very smart for the movie studios to boot. By having so many people so interested in the story before any money is actually invested is a dream. The people spoke and "The Man" listened. Well done.

Hallelujah Indeed

I have been so out of touch lately. I apologize. I miss my blogging. As you know, one of my favorite things to do is think. Think, think, think. So, while I have been so busy, I have been stockpiling blog posts. I have so many movie reviews to share with you and new artist to pimp out. I’m excited. In the midst of the chaos which sometimes is known as ‘my life’, I take refuge in movies and music. Music helps me think and movies help me forget. I become equally lost in both worlds, a place where the lines of reality and reverie are lost. But for today, we’re starting with this. Thank God, Heaven’s Above, Hallelujah Indeed. Did you watch the 2010 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies on Friday? Here are my top three moments. K.D. Lang, K.D. Lang and K.D. Lang. When the camera focused in on the barefoot songstress dressed in white cocooned by the orange glow of simulated candles (plastic flashlights made to look like candles) held by the audience and the first note broke through the silence,

One Year No Radio

Image
This week I’m celebrating my one year anniversary living without music radio. That’s right…I said celebrating. Don’t get me wrong, I still listen to music, and plenty of it…but since I removed the radio from my daily routine I am no longer bombarded with contests, terribly annoying advertisements, songs on far too high of a rotation or over the top excessive radio personalities. I do listen to the news radio station but only to receive traffic updates and road reports. Other than that…my life has been freed from it. I spend a lot of time in my car. A LOT. This is because I live in the burbs and have no choice but to commute. Honestly, I don’t mind the commute. It’s my ‘me’ time in the day. It’s the time when I do my best thinking. Good thinking requires music. Because music has the ability to make you think deeper. I love deep thinking. It’s cathartic. There was a time when the radio was very much needed. When the internet didn't exist. When the only way you could hear a new song w

Unplug

Have you ever tried to kick your caffeine habit? Have you ever tried to leave your cell phone and computer at home when you go on vacation? I am attempting to do both. Recently, under a doctor’s recommendation, I have been advised to kick my caffeine addiction. I never really drank a ton of coffee I just really enjoy my one or two cups in the morning during the week day and my three or four cups on the weekends. The first week was the roughest. Honestly, I wanted to rip out of my own skin and start scaling the walls. I didn’t realize how addicted I was until I was forced to stop. I’ve never been a smoker but I imagine it’s kind of the same feeling. I’m on to caffeine free tea now. It’s a substitute I will have to live with for awhile. Oh coffee, I love you and I miss you…sigh. I’m not breaking up with you…we’re just on a break. Wait for me. I’m taking a holiday soon and on this holiday I have decided to unplug completely. What does that mean? Well, I’ve decided I will not take my blac
