Entertainment and Media

I've decided to switch sites. I'm leaving this old one up, without a redirect, so it can serve as an archive. Here's some of the sitewide changes I'm making (some of this gets into the technical aspects, so if you're not into that, skip straight to the new site).

There will be a totally new theme, and less clutter. I think it's an interesting theme, and it's time to change.
There will be more control over my blog and the posts. The spam has gotten out of control here, and it's difficult to control on Nucleus. I'm switching to Wordpress, which has more than enough plugins to help me control spam. Wordpress will also allow me to have more control within the post. Notice how there are no buttons here that make the list nice and orderly? There would be if this post was done in Wordpress.
The life category is going bye-bye for now. I may resurrect it in the future, but it's the most difficult to come up with topics.
There will be subdomains. Instead of the absolutely ridiculous toastthetrends.com/blogs/entertainment... it will be Entertainment.ToastTheTrends.Com Much easier to type in.

If you're a fan of Celine Dion or just love great live entertainment, check out Celine’s Taking Chances World Tour. Her North American tour dates have been extended into February ’09 so take a look and see if she’s coming to your town. Celine’s concert tickets may just be the perfect gift for a friend, family member or yourself. See what the show is like here.

Lost is one of my favorite shows, and if the ratings are any indication, I'm not alone. I even got my husband to watch it, which is a big feat since he doesn't really watch TV- EVER! Season 4 was one of the best seasons, and I think it's because everyone finally stopped trying to figure out every single mystery and just decided that they would get all the answers at some point in the future. :)

With this DVD being released right before Christmas (today, in fact), it's certain to be on a lot of Christmas lists. Especially since the new season begins soon.

I just finished watching Across the Universe. A friend recommended it a while back, and I meant to see it before now, but hadn't gotten around to it. It was... okay. See, during the movie, you spend the entire time waiting for your favorite Beatles song, rather than just watching the movie. BUT... the same thing that works against the movie works in favor of the soundtrack. Instead of waiting through the whole movie, you can go to your favorite song and listen. You get a bunch of really cool cover versions.

This is the only movie that I've ever gone to see in the theaters twice. Wait- maybe not. I think I went to see The Little Mermaid, but I didn't want to go one of the times (went because some friends were). So, the more accurate statement is- this is the only film I've ever wanted to see twice in the theaters.

The Dark Knight had and has some early Oscar buzz. And I don't think it has anything to do with Heath Ledger's death. It's just because he was phenomenal. Do I think that it will win the Oscar? Sadly, no. But I think it just might deserve to.

You know that this movie is going to be on everyone's Christmas list. And I suppose there are a lot of people that are waiting to buy it as a gift because the people who like it are anxious to run out and buy it that day. I don't think you should wait. Get it and hint that they should wait.
