The secret key to the films,” he continues, “is that the outsider characters are not portrayed very sympathetically. There’s this fiction that I think is very dangerous in almost all popular films that have the sympathetic, identifiable outsider character who’s a good person while the other people are bad. In my films, it’s the outsider character that doesn’t learn anything. A lot of people reject that.

Honestly, I actually now get onto boats and say, ‘No jokes, OK? No jokes. Can we just move on from that? And if you have any jokes, let’s just get them out of the way right now. Thank you. Anyone? Jokes, jokes? OK, moving on. And then they still tell jokes.

The Sound of The Hunger Games.

this is the nerd in me bugging out. some of this stuff is so cool.

absolutely fascinating. goes to show how the most invisible things are the ones that bring the whole thing together and make a world come alive.

Literally one of the first things out of my mouth after the credits finished rolling was “THE SOUND EDITING WAS SUPERB.” So glad I got to see that.

This is so cool. I really need to get out and see this movie in theaters.

Nerdy moment about the sound in the movie - such a great track!

If I asked you, who is Joseph Kony, you wouldn’t know. You should. And that’s why I’m going to tell you about him.

Joseph Kony considers himself as a good Christian. 

He abducts kids; the little girls go into prostitution, the little boys become kid soldiers, and all of them are forced to do horrible things, things a kid isn’t supposed to do. Using these kids, he started the LRA, Lord’s Resistance Army. 30,000 kids have been kidnapped; this needs to stop. And that’s why we need to Make Kony Famous. Let the world know about the horrible things he does, and the thousands of children and parents suffering. 

So come together, on April 20th. That is the day we will cover the night. People in all kind of cities, all over the world will meet at sundown & cover their cities with posters and stickers of Joseph Kony to make him famous. If you want to help these kids and parents, cover the night at 4/20/2012.

I discovered Invisible Children in 2005 when I wondered where a bracelet that Kristen Bell wore on Veronica Mars was from. Everyone can help - please consider watching and sharing this video. There are a whole lot of bad people in the world - maybe we can stop one.

Ardent fans of the pop surrealist maestro Mark Ryden can pick up a new tome of work spanning Ryden’s impressive career published by influential publishing company Taschen. The book is a gorgeous, giant piece work in itself, with beautifully reproduced images, tons of essays (including one by yours truly, featured in Hi Fructose Vol 11) gold leaf cover details, and many foldouts (some as wide as 59 inches across!) so the incredible detail of the paintings and drawings can be poured over. Extra lucky fans in southern California can RSVP to a signing for the book on March 1st with the normally reclusive artist at Taschen Store in Beverly Hills by contacting Taschen at (310) 274-4300.-Kirsten Anderson

SOMEONE BUY ME THIS BOOK!
