Unexpected Journey of
Obscurity To Recognition?
This Julie and Julia movie DVD purchase was well worth
it. The Julie and Julia movie stars Meryl
Streep as Julia Child, Stanley Tucci as Paul Child, Amy Adams as Julie Powell,
Chris Messina as Eric Powell etc. Julie yearns to start a cooking blog as a
creative release from the usual day to day fare of her job. Julie’s husband Eric is actually extremely
supportive of what she is doing but just wants her to try to not be so serious
about it. The movie also shows a glimpse
into the journey of what Julia Child and her husband Paul Child go through
during their journeys abroad in Paris and stateside. Jane Lynch makes an appearance as Julie
Child’s sister. I did like that the movie depicted an honest reality of how you
want to be careful in how you mention your current employer on your blog in
case they look at it if you go from obscurity to gaining more recognition
and/or fame(Julie Powell’s employer gave her a warning but I’m aware that not
all employers will give a warning, although I’d be surprised if any of the
managers at my job look at any of my blogs for reasons I prefer to not go
into).I’m intuitively feeling guided to avoid saying more about the Julie and
Julia movie for those who have yet to see Julie and Julia but I would like to
say this; I think that it is inspirational and a great thing that Julie Powell
achieved recognition for her blog and fame that led to a movie deal. I see
nothing wrong with that. However, I do feel that it is important to want to
blog, write, and/or be a screenwriter etc. regardless of whether you stay an
obscure writer or a famous writer and/or how many supporters you may have (due
to the fact that sheer enjoyment/passion in blogging and writing can sustain
you both during happy and challenging times in your life and regardless of what
critics may think). However, I did enjoy how the Julie and Julia movie showed a
glimpse behind the decision making that can sometimes influence whether and/or
when a book is published. The following
special features are attributed to the phenomenal Julie and Julia DVD; Secret
Ingredients Creating Julie and Julia and Commentary with Writer/Director Nora
Ephron.
The Complexity of Soul Destiny
The Mists of Avalon deals with the delicate and
controversial question on- via scriptwriting-between what a people may want in
their life versus their destiny. The
special features of the Mists of Avalon dvd list some of the following actors
and actresses; Anjelica Huston as Viviane High Priestess of Avalon and Lady of
the Lake, Juliana Marguiles as Morgaine, Joan Allen as Marguise, Samantha
Mathis as Gwenhyear, Caroline Goodall as Igraine, Edward Atterton as Arthur,
Michael Vartan as Lancelot, Michael Byrne as Merlin, and Hans Matheson as
Mordred. The character of Viviane has
the difficult task of somehow bringing
together Uther (Mark Lewis Jones)and Igraine while simultaneously helping Morgaine
live up to outline of her destiny (while also preserving the spirit power of
Avalon and enlisting the help of Merlin).
The movie also shows what happens when Morgaine decides to go without
Viviane’s counsel for a while (which unexpectedly gave me the idea to
eventually look into asking a life coach for help in 2016). Anyhow, Morgaine is close both her family
members Arthur and Lancelot. Arthur’s
wife Gwenhwyfar means well but is conflicted in her marriage due to her
unexpected romantic interest in Lancelot.
The Mystic’s Dream song by Loreena Mckennitt plays in part of the movie.
Despite my interest in screenwriting, I must avoid getting too much more into
the plot for concern of giving too much detail away especially with the
controversy of how Mordred is conceived-which is equally shocking on the level
of the movie Excalibur. Anyhow, some of the special features attributed to the
Mists of Avalon dvd- Costumes (Shows the Design Costume Sketches of various characters),
storyboards And Additional scenes. The following Are some of the Additional
scenes; roundtable scene involving Uther Pendragon, Morgaine’s father, And the
other knights of the roundtable, Morgaine’s sword dance, Raven’s mystical
prayer, Viviane And Merlin discuss the future, Morgaine Attacked in Cottage,
Mordred Arrests Arthur, Morgause lobbies for Mordred to be king. The Spoken languages
of the Mists of Avalon DVD; English, Francais (French), and subtitles in
English, Francais, Espanol, and Portuguese.
Unexpected Marital Alliance
Goin South stars
Jack Nicholson As Henry Moon,Mary Steenburgen As Julie Tate, Christopher Lloyd
As Deputy Towfield, John Belushi As Deputy Hector, Danny Devito As Hog etc.
(Devito was listed to have originally been in Hoffa with Nicholson which is
Also A good movie). Henry Moon is about
to be executed when he is saved from AN older woman who offers her hand in marriage
in exchange for having his life spared. The town Agrees to such unconventional deals
because of the shortage of eligible bachelors in the Area during the time. The woman who at first offers herself drops dead
but then Julie Tate, related to the woman who had just died, Agrees to take him
in. Complicating matters is the fact
that Deputy Towfield Actually has romantic feelings for Julie Tate (both Lloyd and
Steenburgen have also been in Back to the Future Three together). Additionally,
Julie Admits the real reason to Moon on why she agreed to take him as her
husband. I did enjoy the portrayal on
how Henry Moon and Julie Tate Actually romantically grow on each other. I was just surprised about the ending;
however I’m still glad that I purchased the Goin South DVD.
Enjoying Life Type of Anthem
I Admit that I unexpectedly found out About this song Life
Is Beautiful by Sixx;Am back Around 2008
when I was living in Norfolk, Virginia
(I was driving to work And I heard this song As I was tuning the radio
station dial for A good song). Without
looking up the full meaning of this meaningful rock song, I’m guessing Life is Beautiful
has to do with enjoying life and seeing the brilliance in it regardless of what
is going on externally. The guitars in
Life is Beautiful harmonize perfectly with the lyrics to the results of
impeccable timing.
Catchy Party Song
This song Sax by Fleur East intrigued me because of the
upbeat and exciting vibe that goes Along with the vocals and dance/pop music of
the song. Additionally, the music video
shows the singer being truly happy which comes out expressively through the
song. Without looking up the full
meaning, I’m guessing that Sax by Fleur East
is about telling A crush that you romantically dig them but you want to
know first about their music Ability And/or the sax is just A metaphoric
meaning for wanting to know how the person Approaches life. Either way, this is a good and cheery song.
Introduced to Cascada in 1006/2007
I Admit that I was not familiar with Cascada’s music until
Around 2006/2007 when my husband And I were living on the May port Naval Base
(in Florida). I had heard the Everytime
We Touch song on one of the local radio stations which intrigued me to
eventually purchase this cd (which ‘m happy to say that I did). Why? Well for starters
the upbeat dance and electronic music with a happy vibe that was not as easily available
on local radio at the time, especially with the hits Truly Madly Deeply (A
polite musical tribute to Savage Garden) and superb Neverending Dream. Everytime We Touch by Cascada is perfect if
you Are into romantic electronic/dance music.
Music Heart of Depeche Mode
Songs of Faith And Devotion capture some brilliant
electronic/rock hybrid songs from the career of Depeche Mode such As the
heartfelt but melodic In Your Room, the Ability to put oneself through
Another’s perspective via Walking In My Shoes, And the romantic I Feel You As
well As more meaningful songs within the collection of Songs of Faith And
Devotion. I Admit that I easily
recognize the song I Feel You because (Around the time I was 12 or 13) I saw
the music video to I Feel You (either through MTV or VH1) And I noticed the
Actress Lysette Anthony from the Dark Shadows TV series (it was Almost A 90s
version of the True Blood series that I only knew About because my late Adoptive
mother was curious to watch it when it aired on tv). What is also great About
Songs of Faith And Devotion is the band’s Ability to touch upon difficult to talk
about subjects in a music way such As with the song Condemnation-which from the
song meanings site mentions that the song is about faith in God versus human
judgement.
A Music Celebration?
The Wedding Album by Duran Duran is a strong music
collection for people who enjoy mixes of synth-pop and light hints of
electronic music. I admit that I still
enjoy the song Ordinary World just As much as I first did when I heard it around
the time I was 13 years old (back in 1993).
However, there are other good songs on the Wedding Album by Duran Duran
such as Come Undone, Too Much Information, etc.
A brilliant feature of The Wedding Album by Duran Duran is the music
theme of touching on delicate situations in relationships such As where the
singer appears to ask somebody the difficult question of how they are really
feeling in Come Undone As well as coming to terms with their own feelings.
90’s Foo Fighters
My first introduction to Foo Fighters came through one of
the local rock radio stations (Around the time I was between 14-15 years old)
that played the song I’ll Stick Around.
The rock music on The Colour And The Shape continues the innovative
music trend with Hero (Also Affiliated with the Varsity blues movie
soundtrack), Everlong, And Walking After You. Without looking up the online
meaning of Everlong, I’m guessing that Everlong has to be about somebody who
left a major positive impact on the singer.
Anyhow, The Colour And The Shape is ideal for someone who likes 90’s Alternative
rock music.
Another Rock Group From My Teen Years
I was around 13-15 years old when I first heard the music of
nirvana. One or more of my family members kept playing music from Nirvana
frequently at night; As A result there was a time period that I often went to
sleep to the music of Nirvana. I’m also familiar with the music of Nevermind by
Nirvana because one of the local radio rock stations played multiple nirvana
songs during the 90’s As well As the fact that MTV and/or VH1 Also featured
their music. Aside from the iconic
Smells Like Teen Spirit song, there are other classics on Nevermind by Nirvana
such As In Bloom, Come As You Are, Polly and Lithium. One of the multiple strong qualities of
Nevermind by Nirvana is the emotional honesty portrayed in some of the life theme songs such As Lithium where the
song takes the stigma of extreme depression yet turns it into A musical Art
form without minimizing the whole concept behind not being Able to just simply
wish Away depression And in come As you Are
which highlights expectations in
regards to people’s behavior (I Admit to Also using songfacts As A reference to
help me further understand the meanings behind Lithium And Come As You Are).
Beach Bonfire Music?
Thank Your Lucky Stars by Beach House captures a blend of
indie rock music with elements of a coffeehouse vibe. She’s So Lovely, Majorette, And The Traveler
Are some of the multiple songs that capture the imagery note of A fun yet easygoing
summer night on Thank Your Lucky Stars by Beach House.
Songs Filled With Emotion
As with millions of others, Wicked Game was the song that
introduced me to the music of Chris Isaak. I was only a preteen when I was
first introduced to Wicked Game via the radio and what was either the Vh1 and/or
MTV channel. However, the best of Chris Isaak Also has these other musical gems
within this collection; Blue, Hotel, Baby Did a Bad Thing (for the Eyes Wide
Shut film), and more on A music set that combines soft and hard rock.
90’s Industrial Rock
As with many others, I became familiar with the music of
nine inch nails as a 14-15 year old teenager (of the 1990’s) via the song
Closer courtesy of local rock radio And MTV. Broken by Nine Inch Nails was A
collection that I first purchased around the time I was 16-17 years old. The
music on this Album got me through A highly transitional time on my life (my
life at school was fine but I would like to show some respect towards my family
members by not elaborating on my family/personal life especially since I’m
logically Aware that I’m An extremely lucky person compared to many others). Anyhow, there are some controversial hard
rock/industrial rock songs on Broken by Nine Inch Nails such As Last and
Physical that contain unadulterated emotion and pushes the envelope type of musical
imagery. This set may have only 8 songs
yet Broken still packs A musical punch because of the experimental rock music
that goes Along with the shocking themes And lyrics contained within these
songs such As on tracks three And eight.
Abstract Music For The Soul?
Black Star by David Bowie is A on of A kind electronic And
chillout music type of hybrid song. I confess that I still do not yet know the
full meaning of this song. However, the music video for the song is currently
online for those who may want to make A go At it in terms of seeing, hearing
And/or understanding the music video And/or song. The Atmospheric music and haunting
vocals remind me in a positive way of Le Voyage Dans LA Lune by Air.
Electronic/Trance Music Journey
True Colors by Zedd captures the positive essence of dance/electronic
hits with such music as Beautiful Now (feat. Jon Bellion) And I Want You To
Know (Feat. Selena Gomez). True Colors
by Zedd is an excellent music collection to listen to if you Are familiar with any
of his previous songs and/or like electronic/dance music.
Emily’s Unexpected Journey
Quest for the Keys (LEGO Elves: Chapter
Book #1) by Stacia Deustch And Scholastic tells the tale of the character of
Emily Jones who sees the world through bright rich colors partially because of
her grandmother. Both Emily’s parents also happen to love her dearly. However,
the fact that Emily’s parents Are both Scientists who strongly believe in the
necessity of proof for certain theories influences the fact that she has to be
mindful of what she says to them.
Anyhow, Emily’s life gets dramatically changed when she ends up in A
mystical world called Elvendale with fortunately friendly inhabitants who Are
willing to help her find her way back to her chosen destination. There is also a listed 23 minute Lego Elves
movie that helps greatly in filling in the details of this colorful family
friendly story. As An Aspiring
writer/screenwriter I enjoyed how both the Lego Elves story And the film show
the power of belief and friendship.
A pop and R&B love song
The morning sun by robin thicke is a romantic soul, pop, and
R&B type of song. Morning Sun appears to be about a tune that expresses the
intense love that you have for someone.
Additionally, the happy vibe of Morning Sun by Robin Thicke reminds me
of his 2008 Magic song.
