I went to the Ender's Game at 4:45 PM (Non-IMAX showing) at AMC Cupertino 16. The theater was almost entirely sold out... I think 95%. Good movie, enjoyable but not an epic. I would like to reread the book though.

I miss DOS. Windows just isn't the same. I am looking forward to the movie as well.

MirrorWorld Genre: CGI Comedy/Sci-Fi Date: February 23 Theaters: 3,286 Format: 2D and 3D Director: Giil Kenan Voice Cast: Kat Dennings - Stacy Josh Hutcherson - Derek Mark Ruffalo - Sam Anna Faris - Amy Jason Segel - Zong Paul Rudd - Florng Paul Giamatti - Bardak Rating: PG for mild animated violence, mild language Runtime: 96 min Budget: $75 million Taglines: "The mirror contains another world": "You are not your reflection" : "The other universe is just a glance away" Plot: Something changes... mirrors are not just our reflections. Stacy and Derek are friends, kids that live next door to one another. Stacy lives with her dad, Sam, and Derek lives with his mom, Amy. The two kids notice as they are looking in a mirror that the reflections are no longer identical. The next day Stacy touches her bathroom mirror and discovers her hand goes through instead of hitting glass. Out of curiosity, she climbs through it into another dimension. It is much like Earth but everything is slightly different... in fact, it is ANOTHER planet, Earth, but where evolution and the planets ran a different course, and the continents are shaped entirely differently. And the naming conventions of the locals are foreign to her. She meets Zong and Florng, two roommates that share an apartment that is connected to her home through the mirror. At first they do not believe her stories, but they realize that there are tiny differences... all three appear human, but Zong and Florng have slightly different shapes for their eyes and ears and seem to have better hearing as well. She heads back to her world through the same mirror, confused by the situation, but unharmed. However, not all is well for the worlds. The mirrors transportation is part of Bardak's plan to cause the two worlds to collide, and for him to rule both of the worlds by using the strengths of each universe against the weaknesses of the others... and convincing everyone that he is a god. Stacy is haunted by Bardak and must convince Derek and Sam and Amy that the world is in danger. At first they laugh it off, but the mirrors show more than before, and together the people of the two worlds must stop Bardak. Bardak seems to be a dangerous villain at first, but it turns out that laughter hurts him. Everyone tells jokes, causing much laughter ,which destroys Bardak for good. The link between the two worlds is ended and mirrors are just mirrors once again.

Will the people who have already had their films for Year 8 get first dibs or can us stragglers get some in?

I voted for the Festival System but I'm open to other ideas... the month one loooks good too. I'd like to get back into CAYOM and share my writing once again. It's been so long.

Is there still any room? If not I might join for Year 9, whenever that may be. I have more free time than I did before, sadly

Nothing wrong with sequels from Pixar. All 3 Toy Stories were great. Cars 2 I feel was an anomaly in Pixar's line of work.

I think I'll be retiring or almost retiring. I want to focus on some real writing and not just CAYOM.

My grandpa died and I got pretty upset

I was sick for a week... well in the hospital. If needed I can remove some of my fillers.

All you kids are so much more complex than last decade.

I am willing to adjust some BO if everyone else feels I was too harsh. I feel like I might have underestimated the December movies.

Subway Nest is done and a "beefy" 600 words of action action action

Subway Nest II: The Suburbs Genre: CGI Comedy Format: 3D Cast: Jason Segel (Marcus), Zooey Deschanel (Lisa), Christopher Walken (Balthazar), Jesse Eisenberg (Lars), Paul Rudd (Charlie), Seth Rogen (Mike), Kristen Bell (Lucille), Jodie Foster (Karen), Jay Baruchel (Jonas), Woman (Diane Keaton) Emma Watson -- Cameo (Maria) Directed By: Mike Mitchell Release Date: 8/26 Theater Count: 3562 Budget: $100 million Running Time: 1hr 43 min (103 minutes) MPAA Rating: PG for thematic elements, fantasy violence, mild language Plot: The film starts with an argument between Karen and Jonas, a crow and a blue jay. Karen insists that the humans are a threat, while Jonas disagrees, saying they are good for birds, because when they dig in the garden, they bring up lots of worms and they keep large predators away. We then see the birds arguing from the Woman's perspective, and she just seems shrieks and caws, none of the actual words being said by the birds themselves. We go back to the city, where Lars is being harassed by Charlie and Mike (rats) once again in the subway. But as they chase him around the subway, he accidentally finds himself flying down the subway tracks (this is the main use of the 3D elements of the film, particularly where a couple of subways nearly hit Lars, until they go out from the underground. He's not in the city anymore. The air is too fresh and there aren't pigeons all around him. "Where am I?" he thinks, as he flutters around. He's not a graceful flier, and he fears someone will watch him and laugh at him. His meanderings bring him to the Woman's house, where he ends up in the middle of arguments between groups of Crows and Blue Jays. Both the Crows and Blue Jays try to convince him to work for them and against the others. But only the Blue Jays are willing to help him find his way back home at all, so he ends up on their side. The battles are confusing... mostly a lot of noise without any real victories or defeats on either side. And whenever the woman comes out to garden, the birds all just fly around aimlessly. Except for Lars, who almost goes up to her to hope for bread, but Jonas tells him to wait and eat worms later. The thought of eating worms sends Lars into a panic, and he frustrates all manner of living thing until Jonas gets him to calm down. Back in the city, the other birds are in a panic. It's been a couple of days now... Lars is never one to adventure out anymore! They start to retrace his steps through the subway system, but it seems he is the bravest of them, as the others run back when the trains start coming. Lars ends up running away from the crows and the blue jays. He finds himself in a small "downtown" of the suburb he is in, and people aren't as receptive to pigeons, but since there are no other pigeons to compete for the food, he can get some anyway. But it's just not the same... one night, a delirious Lars has a vision of Lucille, and she begins to tell him where he can meet his group of pigeons. And they are coming! The next day, Marcus, Lisa, and Baltahazr end up flying out of the city, and Lars has decided to fly back to it. They meet on the outskirts, and they all insist Lars has to come back to the Subway. When he gets back, there's a huge surprise party for him... even Mike and Charles are there, apologizing for what happened earlier. The final scenes show Lars and Lucille flying low near the baseball stadium, and then the final scene has Maria show up, she's another pigeon. The last part of the movie is some still shots of Lars/Maria and their family.

I'm claiming the rights to Plok, a weird as hell SNES game.RySenkari is turning in his CAYOM grave.
