What a Fascinating Modern Age We Live In

After a year of putting up with a chugging, jittering, lethargic DVD-rom, I finally – finally, sir – called customer support and now it works! IT WORKS! Like a fully functional DVD player! With sound and everything! I may never leave my computer again.

Thank you, Derek at LG Canada.

Behold! (Especially you, Bananabasket.) A Full-Length Corpse Bride Trailer!

Funny ... they've gone from using the Edward Scissorhands theme for the Snicket trailer to the Snicket theme for a Tim Burton movie. How the wheel does turn.

Additional Discly Drawings:
An Ecksian Wizard - Didn't mean to make him look so much like Ridcully but hey, no worries, she'll be right.
Lady LeJean - Batman made me read Thief of Time again. I decided, with my limited knowledge of actresses, that if They were to make it into a movie (which They should), They should cast Angelina Jolie as Myria LeJean. I didn't have any reference for her when I was drawing today, so this is a sort of pale reflection ... she ended up looking too young, kind of like Jessica Alba (a.k.a. Pocahontas Lips) which was unintentional.
LeJean's Entrance - People who know me in real life would not be surprised at all to learn that I do not do 'elegance' well. This will require some research. There is more than a little Carmen Sandiego influence here.

Usually the soundtrack (musical score) is the last thing done on a movie, because it has to be done once everything is finally edited and put together to time it right. So they don't usually have anything on time for the trailer. The only exception to this that I've seen was the first Harry Potter trailer, but I suspect John Williams got a head start on the theme, knowing he was going to be working on the movie. But my point is, for the longest time, it was the Edward Scissorhands theme that they put on trailers for everything dark and whimsical, which included the Snicket movie ... and now they are using the Snicket theme on a trailer for a dark and whimsical movie made by the same person as did Edward Scissorhands.
