Long Time No Post

Wow, I really need to work on updating regularly. My last post was, what, March 7th? So... I've gotten my computer back with everything except my Favorites still intact. I was kind of upset about that, but I needed to clean up the list anyway.

The Hoodwinked 2 people made another update a few weeks ago by putting up recipes on both their Facebook and official site. And by "recipes", I mean "recipes that are probably no different from any others and that have nothing to do with the movie".

I mean, I can see why they'd put up recipes, with the Sisters of the Hood being that cooking group or whatever, but it's kind of weird to see a company promoting with recipes that don't have anything the film they go with besides decorating it with characters and backgrounds from it. (I'd like to rewrite that sentence, but I don't know how to word it differently. :/)

Anyhow, at least we got to see a new picture of Kirk/the Woodsman that isn't a Woodsman Because He's a Yodeler.

I'm thinking about writing some reviews sometime, but I'm not sure about what at the moment. Right now, the top choices are Chrono Trigger DS, the new VeggieTales 'Twas the Night Before Easter, or some other movie/game that I want to put down my opinions about.

Originally, I was going to end this post with a video of a song that talked about things not being related to a movie. But there are no videos of it up on YouTube, so instead, here's another video of a song that's from the same series. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with this blog post (except for the fact that it has nothing to do with it), so I think it's a good replacement. Enjoy!

Computer Problems

I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is, I've found two new posters for Hoodwinked 2!



Well, technically, I found them yesterday, but I didn't get the chance to post them. Which brings me to the bad news. My computer has been having a problem with the blue screen of death for a while now. Basically, every time we restart the computer, it comes up, unless we're really lucky and it allows us to bypass. Well, yesterday we had to turn off the computer because we thought the power was gonna go out. And when we turned it on again, guess what came up?

I'll give you one guess.
  I was fed up with this, so my dad and I called the computer repair guy we go to. We described the situation to him and he thinks that the hard drive is corrupt. We're taking the computer over to his place tomorrow to get it fixed.

Basically, I won't be able to go on much until we get it back. We do have another computer and laptop, but the computer is my dad's and the mouse pad on the laptop always makes the page scroll instead of moving the mouse. So, I'll see about updating you guys once I get it back.

Hoodwinked 2 Site Updated


Yes, that's right; the teaser site has just received a MAJOR content update. There are four more areas on the site: About the Film, Video (which is just the trailer at the moment), Gallery, and Downloads. Each part is based off a different character and shows clips of them before giving you the page. The only exception to this is Twicthy, but he pops up all over the website and says some of his lines from the movie. It gets annoying after a while, though, and I ended up using the mute button at the top right hand corner.

My favorite new addition are the clips.  They're really short, but they look awesome, especially the Red action ones. Not only that, but now we have actually been supplied with Gretel's voice! She sounds simular to Hansel, which kind of makes sense, since they're siblings and all.

One thing I find weird, though, is that on one of the labels at the top of the page uses a picture of Red from the first film and not the second.

You'd think they'd have enough pictures of Red to use from the movie they're advertising. Especially considering there's one on the page the button links to.
 There's some other stuff too, but you can find those out for yourself. As for me, I'm gonna watch those mini clips over and over to absorb how awesome this movie is gonna be.
