I was trying to find some information about what’s going on with Arrested Development movie, when I found Vulture. Vulture is a blog about movies, music, and television--everything dealing with entertainment. I found an article on what I was looking for and was excited to see the words saying what I've been wanting to hear for a long time.
"Comedy nerds are just now regaining consciousness after the news broke that there will likely not just be an Arrested Development movie, but also a mini-series leading up to it." as stated by Jenna Marotta, the writer of the article.
The article also goes on to talk about how some of the props that were sold on eBay.
Schrute Space is the blog of a character from the television show the office, Dwight Schrute. Dwight Schrute post things which might make you a better salesmen with posts like:
"The Way to a Clients Pocket is through their Stomach--You don't become an effective salesman just by offering competitive prices or handing out fictitious compliments to unfortunate-looking clients. Sometimes you have to cook for them. Last night I whipped up a big batch of Grandmother Gorch's casserole for a client dinner. It looked terrible (I'm no food sculptor), but it was definitely good enough. I landed Armstrong Accounting after he took his first bite. What's the recipe, you ask? What the hell, I'll give it to you. I'm feeling randomly generous." He states on his blog.
And, "Hay Place: A Place for Hay--'Hay Place' was a fall custom in the Schrute family for many generations. As soon as the autumnal equinox was upon us, you could find Uncle Eldred behind the barn, stacking hay with his good arm. He would toil for hours on end to create "Hay World," as it was known back then. Unfortunately one year the hay spontaneously combusted resulting in a brutal fire, and Hay World was permanently suspended. The children cried into their pumpkins; the shreds of remaining hay were brought to the outhouse for alternative uses."
I was laughing throughout his posts--they're all specatularly done. I would like to become a writer for a movie or teleivion show someday, so being able to read things which sound like it would actually be coming out of his mouth make this so much better and enjoyable to me. This makes Dwight Schrute seem like a real person and not just a character on a tv show.
Over the years, I have been told by my parents, my family, and everyone else in between that playing video games is bad for you because it rots the brain. I never believe that it was harming me in any way, so I didn’t stop. I’m glad I didn’t stop playing games. I’ve lived the heroes journey more than 100 times, I’ve learned good dialog versus bad dialog, and what makes a good story—all while sitting in front of a TV.
“You’re not learning anything from sitting in front of the TV playing video games all day.” I can remember my mom yelling at me when I was younger.
I have found a blog which has its sights set to give gaming a better reputation.
“We want to be what early Rolling Stone was to rock n’ roll or Wired was to tech. We want to look like the Fader and walk like the Believer. We’re talking about the long format read on the creative minds behind blockbuster and indie game titles sided by personal essays about what games mean to our daily little lives,” which is stated on the “about us” of the blogs site.
On the site I found a review for a game called “Gears of War 3.” The writer compares playing the game, which is slow in parts, to Frank Sinatra’s slow songs. It was interesting to see the caparisons.
