Someone Get Me a Job?

I want a job in movies.

In all seriousness too. I'm not just some kid who wants to be big and famous. Acting has always been a passion of mine, and I will say I'm not half bad. It's hard living in the Midwest when you're interested in show business...hardly any opportunities arise. Even if films are being made here, the casting rarely takes place anywhere but California or New York or those other fancy shmancy places.

I finished Xenocide and picked up Children of the Mind immediately. I am now finished with that as well, and I'm having separation anxiety from Lusitania and Miro and Peter and Jane and Wang-mu and UGH. I want them to make an Ender's Game movie...NOW. And I want to be Valentine. Not little Valentine, obviously, but teen/young adult Val. I want to be a part of this world forever... not just by reading it, but be BEING in it. My dream is to make something of myself and my talent, and to have it essentially immortalized in a work as wonderful as this could be would be all and more than I could ever ask for.

So if anyone is willing to be my agent...please do! Haha. Any casting opportunities pop up around here? Let me know! Find out any information about Ender's Game FINALLY being casted? Please tell me! I'm dying here! Hahaha!

It has been awhile since my last post, and since then I have seen the Dark Knight twice. And it was AMAZING. It has even affected me enough to give me the most incredible dreams about being the Joker's accomplice. The dream's in my LiveJournal, if you know it. I even went out and bought myself a shirt, haha.


My brother bought an Xbox 360 for himself a few weeks ago, and my sister bought a game called Viva Pinata. I guess it's based off some TV show, but it's really cute. You have your own garden that you spruce up all nice and try to encourage these animal pinatas to come live there. The more pinatas you have, the more want to join. Some eat each other, and they fight and get broken. It's adorable! And of course my geeky self named my garden Lusitania, while my brother's is Gotham Garden. We're basically amazing. He's playing Rainbow Six Vegas 2 right now on Xbox Live, but I would like to kick him off to update my garden soon. :]

Why So Serious?

So I will admit I have not seen the first of the new Batman movies... bad bad Rianna, I know. But even before Heath Ledger's untimely death I was very intrigued by the trailers to The Dark Knight. I didn't even know what I was getting into when I stumbled on the website sometime in the fall, and I was immediately drawn in. After the tragedy that was Heath Ledger's demise, I feel even more inclined to see this movie. More and more I see subtle advertising and every time I see the trailer I get even more excited. Remind me to rent the first movie before this one comes out, because I know my family will be heading to the theatre right away.

One of my all time favorite things happens to be horror movies. I love almost any horror movie, as long as it doesn't involve stupid monsters. I prefer psychological horror, with deep plots and lots of twists, cliffhangers and nailbiters. And I happen to think that zombie movies are way overdone and cliché. Yet I absolutely adore the Resident Evil movies. There's something about them that makes them different than other zombie movies. The fact there's an actual cause to the creation of zombies really draws me in... rather than it being some unexplained supernatural phenomena that just decides to take over the world. I had never played the video games before I'd seen the movies however, so maybe I don't have the entire story. My brother did give in and buy Resident Evil 4 to play on his Wii console, and I have been watching him off and on. The graphics are spectacular- the architecture inside the castle is just brilliant. So clear and detailed for a video game...I love seeing where technology takes us with graphics. As much as I suck at most video games (aside from RPGs), I think I might have to go out and buy the first three to take with me to school this fall. Of course, I need to buy my own PS2 first.

Anyway, I've been trying to get my family to see the Resident Evil movies for a long time now. Hopefully they'll give in soon. I'm just worried they won't like them as much as I keep saying they will, and then I'll never hear the end of it...
