9:56 pm	NEED MOAR MEDIA W Hey, all two of you that still read this, remember the media consumables post I've done twice before? (once covering Sept 06-Sept 07, the other covering Sept 07 through the end of 2008.) Well, this is 2009's. As I correctly predicted in the last one, these are mainly for you, Future Will. (It freaks Future Will out a little when he reads these, having forgotten that Past Will wrote them.) ( Click it, Future Will. I know you're going to. BECAUSE YOU'RE MEEEEE. ) -Willlo (2 Comments |Comment on this)

4:41 pm	Oscar predictions! W The Oscars are tonight! I've often tried to watch all five Best Picture nominations for a given year. I've never succeeded at this. Well, for the first time, I've seen five Best Picture nominations. ...unfortunately, there are ten nominations this year. Sigh. I actually managed to see 8 of them — I'm missing A Serious Man and Blindside. Also, it looks like Best Picture is the major contested race. Will it be Avatar or Hurt Locker? Based on all the other awards given this season, it'll be Hurt Locker. But honestly, having seen both? Hurt Locker's great, but I think Avatar should win. Anyway, here are my picks for the wins! (I've capitalized my picks.) UPDATE [3/8/10]: I've gone and italicized the actual winners. I got 12 out of 21. 6 of those correct guesses were the major 6, but that's not too fancy since most critics agreed on all but Best Picture (which really Avatar deserved more than Hurt Locker, and REALLY neither picture was the absolute best in the category. But Hurt Locker absolutely nailed their marketing and were able to present themselves as the antithesis to Avatar. I think it should have gone to Avatar for how revolutionary it is, but even purely on quality I rank Up and Up in the Air more deserving than Hurt Locker. Hurt Locker IS good, but only Academy politics made it "best." Anyway, 12 out of 21. The upsets for adapted screenplay and the two sound categories didn't help me. :/ Alas! Performance by an actor in a leading role JEFF BRIDGES IN "CRAZY HEART" George Clooney in "Up in the Air" Colin Firth in "A Single Man" Morgan Freeman in "Invictus" Jeremy Renner in "The Hurt Locker" Performance by an actor in a supporting role Matt Damon in "Invictus" Woody Harrelson in "The Messenger" Christopher Plummer in "The Last Station" Stanley Tucci in "The Lovely Bones" CHRISTOPH WALTZ IN "INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS" Performance by an actress in a leading role SANDRA BULLOCK IN "THE BLINDSIDE" Helen Mirren in "The Last Station" Carey Mulligan in "An Education" Gabourey Sidibe in "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire" Meryl Streep in "Julie & Julia" [This is probably the most debatable acting category. Sandra Bullock's the favorite, but there's talk Meryl Streep can pull off a surprise win.] Performance by an actress in a supporting role Penélope Cruz in "Nine" Vera Farmiga in "Up in the Air" Maggie Gyllenhaal in "Crazy Heart" Anna Kendrick in "Up in the Air" MO'NIQUE IN "PRECIOUS: BASED ON THE NOVEL 'PUSH' BY SAPPHIRE" Achievement in directing "Avatar" James Cameron "THE HURT LOCKER" KATHRYN BIGELOW "Inglourious Basterds" Quentin Tarantino "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire" Lee Daniels "Up in the Air" Jason Reitman Best motion picture of the year "Avatar" "The Blind Side" "District 9" "An Education" "THE HURT LOCKER" "Inglourious Basterds" "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire" "A Serious Man" "Up" "Up in the Air" Best animated feature film of the year Coraline Fantastic Mr. Fox The Princess and the Frog The Secret of Kells UP [Though I have to say, having seen all of these but Kells, it was a fantastic year for animation.] Achievement in art direction "AVATAR" "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" "Nine" "Sherlock Holmes" "The Young Victoria" Achievement in cinematography "Avatar" "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" "THE HURT LOCKER" "Inglourious Basterds" "The White Ribbon" Achievement in costume design "Bright Star" "Coco before Chanel" "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" "NINE" "The Young Victoria" Best documentary feature "Burma VJ" "The Cove" "FOOD, INC."

1:13 am	Back in Myrtle Beach W I hear ya, Bob. And I need to do a Decembers post, Januarys post, movies post, 2009 stats post, New Year's post, and Carolyn's wedding post. Wennnnnh. But for the next three weeks I'm down in Myrtle Beach working on Steel Magnolias and Le Grand Cirque Adrenaline, so there goes most of my free time. In fact, I'm so busy, this is what the shop usually looks like: -Willlo (4 Comments |Comment on this)

2:36 am	HOLY SHIT BOB POSTED B Hey all -- it's been, uh, forever. I felt that lj was being neglected... mainly by me. Willlo's done a pretty good job keeping up with things despite his busy schedule; I guess my excuse is that I'm a lazy mutha-effer. So, I thought I'd do a little listy-poo to get things rolling. All you out there still in lj-land, post your top five favorite items you can win at a Chuck E. Cheese (or if you're from my era, motherfuckin' Show Biz y'all). Do this, and I'll show you mine. --Burb out (3 Comments |Comment on this)

7:50 am	HAPPY NEW YEAR W Yes yes yes I know I have to do my December posts, end of year stats, and media consumed of 09 posts. If it gives you any indication of how late I'm running, this is from MARCH. What does it matter -- LJ is a ghost town anyway. I can make my own rules! Side note: CONGRATULATIONS CAROLYN ON YOUR BEAUTIFUL WEDDING!!! Okay, to the matter at hand. Last March, Bob visited. We were bored, so we went to Central Park and decided to make a video. We were able to come up with a rough idea, and then we just had Bob improvise shot after shot, with me coaching it all towards a slowly forming narrative direction. It was a nice timekiller, and I think a little different from other stuff we've done -- but hopefully still enjoyable. Yes, it's just over nine minutes long and that probably makes you want to die. I realize that's like four hours on the internet. But I encourage you to give it a shot! We hope you like it! -Willlo (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:17 pm	HOME! W I FINALLY MADE IT TO SOUTH CAROLINA! Off to Charleston tomorrow! Also, the most awesome shirt I've seen in recent memory, minuscule target audience be damned!* UPDATE ALSO: Geography is fun! On my last run, I juuuuust baaarely missed level 9 by 42 points (though really I probably only got that close to thankfully getting Boston, Memphis, and Miami in the set). When I first got to level 7, I might have pooped myself a little. -Willlo *Bonus font joke! (5 Comments |Comment on this)

10:45 pm	Things W - KATHRYN WAS ROBBED! Oh, my poor So You Think You Can Dance sweetie. :( You should have won! Looks like now I can put my SYTYCD shame back in the closet and pull out my good ol' winter American Idol shame to wear. Huzzah! - Iron Man 2 first trailer! - I still love ordered lists. - This article presents the best reasons I've read to ever watch any Twilight movie (even if it's one that hasn't been made yet.) - Two work days left this decade! AAHHHH. - Child's Play Charity. Even if you don't have the money to contribute, check it out. -Willlo (3 Comments |Comment on this)

11:49 pm	Swoony for Clooney W If you get a chance, check out Up in the Air - quite good, and it's probably going to be a top Oscar contender. Also, a cute girl out-nerded me in math at a bar tonight. I was ashamed and aroused. -Willlo (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:40 am	It wouldn't be Crimmus without this. W By this point, this video has become as ingrained with Christmas for me as that classic carol "Angel in a Centerfold." [EDIT: WHAT! The last three seconds cut off! But Bob's embed from last year is no longer available and in a very thorough four seconds of searching, I didn't find another. :(] -Willlo (Comment on this)
1:11 am	Novembers W What? It's only halfway into December. Don't hate, I was busy. :( So, here's the big ol' November update. Maybe I'll finish the December one by February. On the good side, I actually have a picture from every single November! On the down side, I had to rely on a lot of production shots to do that. Anyway, take a look if'n you're interested! ( In binary, November's only the 3rd month. ) And I just spent three or four different days getting this done and it's 1am and I'm ready for bed, so I can assure you I didn't go back to proofread. Find mistakes for bonus points! -Willlo (5 Comments |Comment on this)

11:36 pm	DON'T STOP! BELIEVIN'! W I couldn't resist after the fall season finale. A little grainy, but I churned the whole thing out -- setting up lights, taking the photo, 'shopping it and and all -- in just about an hour. -Willlo (Comment on this)
