Seen yesterday Long Way Down’s Episode where they are in Rwanda. Ewan Mc Gregor goes through Rwanda by Motorbike and stops by the national Park to see the Gorillas.
I am not sure they would let ‘normal people get so close to them, but if they do, I understand why the prices are so high. They will want to keep visits to a minimum (once a day, at dusk) yet have enough money to run the conservation program off it.
All in all, it seemed a pretty well-run operation, and since the experience must be soo fantastic I am reconsidering it. Trouble is, there may be not any ticket left for when we’ll arrive there. Well, in case may be I’ll come back another time.
I did talk some time ago about how piracy can be good for business, with the exception of people whose services aren’t necessary anymore: distributors, which in the TV case are the broadcasting stations.
Now, Honda seems to get it, with this plan: to run smaller commercials for a smaller car in smaller versions of television series.
Honda will be the sole sponsor of what Sony Pictures Television is calling the Minisode Network, which is scheduled to begin next week. Visitors to the MySpace Web site (my space.com) will be able to watch episodes of 15 vintage Sony series like “Charlie’s Angels,” “The Facts of Life,” “Fantasy Island” and “Who’s the Boss,” edited from their original lengths of 30 or 60 minutes each to an Internet-friendly 4 to 6 minutes.
Now, you can see how funding for this stuff has been kept to the bare minimum, but this is just the beginning. Once the managers see the machine is working, money will pour in.
Here’s a movie to keep an eye out for: Three young houseflies stow away aboard the Apollo 11 flight to the moon.
starring Nicollette Sheridan, aka Edie Britt in Desperate Housewives (I found this movie looking for other things about her, after I saw her committing suicide in the series). Sad, she was one of my favourite characters.
Here it comes, the NY Times review of Pirates of Caribbeans‘ third installment, with a name vaguely reminiscent of Asimov to me (Star’s End) – I didn’t see the second yet, since I heard that the two were kind of collated together, like Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Reboot or whatever. Hopefully, the will not suck like those two. This one seems allright, with an 8.6 based on 1600 votes to date. even counting that those are fans, it can’t be that bad.
Compared with Matrix, which went from 8.6 to 7 to 6.3. This franchise seems to be holding its grounds, starting at <a href=”http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0325980/”>8.0, then 7.4, and settling for 8.6 – which will probably change in the next few months, as votes from more people build up.
The Review is quite ambiguous, in fact, pointing out many good things, but also many more not so good ones, if not outright bad. I guess I’ll see it anyway, once the two or three are in a watchable format on the pirate bay – Irony? Or may be I will not, I have developed a kind of allergy toward Jonny Depp, since he was my ex’s preferred actor. Silly I know, but that’s life: I guess I didn’t like him too much to start with. After all, she introduced me to Scrubs and I still watch it every week.
I’ve just seen Desperate Housewives season 3, ep 21 – too sentimental for my tastes, with Susan getting lost in the woods and Linette falling (almost) for the handsome cook. The worst part is, the ending of the episode was even worst. Yuk!
