The above is the result of at least 2 hours of filming and editing using Adobe Premier Elements 3. I have a very slow computer.
Not much else got done this weekend. I did see Narnia but unfortunately Shelly slept through 2/3rds of it so no review. Didn’t see the first one? Don’t bother. Don’t remember much of the first one? Don’t bother. Think stealing Deus Ex Machina ideas from The Lord of the Rings is cheap? Don’t bother. In all… you got it.
We did have dim sum on the weekend and it was delicious. Unfortunately the brunt of the meal arrived as we were taking off our coats. Literally. Seven of us grab a table in our not-so-favorite place on Dundas and within seconds we were set upon by 4 women with steaming carts. Mr Insurance, a friend that I am mentioning here for the first time on Deadrobot.com, actually had to turn to one of the cart women from hell and say “Go. Away.” We were done our meal in 30 minutes. Which is a shame because it’s always super good and super cheap.
We had this interesting discussion about moving the long weekend back one weekend. I don’t recall any long weekend in my alcohol soaked memory where the weather was actually good. Sorry Queen Vic, but the people have spoken.

you clowns need to learn not to use a bright window as your background. i saw a silhouette with a yellow hat and a ‘jaws’ shirt.
speaking of sharks, you should read ‘meg’ (and the sequels) by steve alten. it makes ‘jaws’ seem like the apex of fine literature in comparison.
*burp*
I LOVED IT! BUT THEN I WOULD BECAUSE I THINK YOUR GREAT!MORE PLEASE!
Lew: It wasn’t anything like Flashdance!
Snotty: the idea is to *attract* subscribers, not make them choke on their own vomit.
I really liked the beginning. The way the character development got underway so quickly really made the viewer cheer for the underdog from the opening credits. I felt the editing gave more than a passing nod to the genre of Absurdism, a classic example of which is 1974’s The Rhinoceros with Zero Mostel.
The plot slowed somewhat in the middle, but it allowed the viewer a respite and chance for quiet reflection on how they themselves relate to the film’s principle actor and the situation he has found himself within.
The ending was a brilliant and unexpected cinematic moment, turning the entire story up until that point into an energetic red herring.
Bravo.
When will you be moving on to videos on xtube?
The surprise ending of that video scared me.
