The Book Pirate

I was sent this video. I think it’s pretty interesting to see how book covers are made. It goes by really fast so you can’t see what all the creator is doing, but it it still neat.

Hi there.

Since Paper Towns by John Green is released today in paperback and since I am giving away a copy for you to win (deadline is TODAY)…

And because I’ve been playing The Beatles: Rock Band most of the weekend…

I’ve been playing a lot of Tales of Monkey Island on the Wii lately. It’s been a blast. If you haven’t played any of the Monkey Island games you should totally check them out (assuming you enjoy pirate themed point-and-click adventure games as much as I do). If you don’t feel like playing it, you can watch this animated recap of the first game The Secret of Monkey Island.

After 26 years, Reading Rainbow will be ending. It’s a little sad. I remember watching this show when I was little.

I read the book a few years ago. I liked it for the most part. However, from what I remember, the movie feels different than the tone of the book.

Plus I dislike Peter Jackson.

A songs inspired by Lemony Snicket’s Series of Unfortunate Events.

Wes Anderson, the director of Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums, is a director that people love, yet I have no idea why. His movies are quirky but not “good” in my opinion. On the bright side, Anderson’s continual casting of Bill Murray makes up for his continual casting of Owen Wilson.

This fall Anderson will be releasing The Fantastic Mr. Fox in theaters starring all the people from his previous films plus George Clooney. It’s stop motion and reminds me of The Mouse and the Motorcycle.

(You should probably watch this in HD)


The Fantastic Mr. Fox is based off of the book written by Ronald Dahl.

From Weird Al’s 1989 cult film UHF.
