James Cameron and Tim Burton x2

Last night Spence and I went to our old ward's FILM FESTIVAL!

It was a blast! They always go all out and it was fun to reunite with some of our old friends. The theme this year was 'James Cameron,' and EPIC movies, so there were neat displays around the gym for Avatar, Terminator, and Titanic.

We loved crashing this singles event with a few other married couple friends of ours.

The films that were submitted were great!

There was a submission by our friends from the Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church, some love stories, life stories, documentaries, and 'foreign films' (one in french,) 'The Most Interesting Mormon in the world-' 2 spoofs of the 'Most interesting Man in the World' Dos Equis commercials were a hit.

The movie makers were creative as always- there was one, 'a fist full of love,' that reminded me of Spencer's and mine last year- with a great training montage.) Way to set a trend Spence!

Here we are tearing up the place!



The AVATAR set:




Help!!



Beej and Rach will remember last year's Film Fest theme- Tim Burton. It was fun to reminisce with Spence on that event, before we were engaged!



On the Tim Burton theme, when Mom was in town this last week we went to the LACMA (Los Angeles Contemporary Museum of Art) Tim Burton Exhibit! I've been seeing the ads around so it was really fun to go see this with Mom!
They talked about his developing style -
-he used creature-like bodies and
-body modification
in his art
-we saw an old writing piece from his High School class and doodles on newspapers!

We also saw some hilarious sketches he did, taking some phrases literally and making other funny scenarios with different made up characters.



It was really great to check this out with Mom- it was fun that she was game! Thanks for the fun outing, Mom!



And that concludes my post.
