The Diamond Family

This was a picture taken at Overton NV to see the young man on the right farewell. It is a family very close to Shannons family. So close that Shannon changed the young man on the right diapers. Yea, we are old!

Shannon and Auri going back to the future!!!!

Insane in the membrane

Little car acting like a skater! from Jesse Petty on Vimeo.
I just thought that this was interesting! I think I would do this if I had nothing to live for and just out of curiosity to see if it can be done.

it was only an accident!

while we were in St. George we stopped by the park close to the Temple it I was only swinging and then I suddenly noticed that I was lying face first on the ground and my right arm was numb. And the bench was just a joke...seriously it was.

Our Ancestors

Since we were out and about, I thought that we would stop by the cemetery in LaVerkin and also in Cedar City. We placed some very nice white flowers on Grandpa and Grandma Petty's grave stone. It was very nice to visit the site along with seeing familiar

The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep

The Water Horse Legend of the Deep from Jesse Petty on Vimeo.
This will be interesting to see. I don't know a lot about the legend of the Loch Ness but I had an instructor who visited the castle where you can go and look out and maybe spot the Loch Ness. Of course that was all that I heard and I went back to what ever I was doing at the time (I have A.D.) It seems also that some historians who studied Loch Ness and others who studied the effect of the Legend in Scotland are very pleased and impressed that they did a film about the Ness.


here is their video blog talks about the making of it and a little about the back story of Loch Ness.


Here is the official website.

11 Minutes...Done

Super Mario Bothers 3 in only 11 minutes from Jesse Petty on Vimeo.

For use Nintendo fans we praise the person who spent way to much time mastering a game that gets you know where in life. But still has bragging rights that he can beat Super Mario Brothers 3 in 11 minutes.

PS: you have to keep a close eye on how many men he earns through out 11 minutes!!

Sheboygan...

For a few years I have always love the word "Sheboygan". It is just the coolest word to say, I think. When I was in my 3D animation class my teacher brought "Surf's Up" in to watch the making of so that we can see how the utilized Maya. I have never heard of this movie but when I heard the chicken talk I quickly recognized the voice of John Heder. I had to buy the movie after that.

When I watched the movie at home I found out that the Chicken "Chicken Joe" is from Sheboygan. This movie is just getting better and better. The Chicken that surfs and he is from Sheboygan and its John Heder. What demented person put this mix together?
One of my favorite words in the world is placed in the hands of a chicken that surfs and wears a cocanut bra and is played by John Heder.

What is your favorite word, and is it said in a movie like mine? Everybody has to have one. It is like a favorite color or a number. (Just a thought, have you ever met somebody who's favorite number is a negative number? Just a thought..) Have a whisical day!

PS. Here is something else is funny, I found out that Sheboygan is famous for their bratwurst. Wow...that does say alot!

Evel Knievel Has Died Today

"The American Icon" besides the Statue of Liberty (What is her real name anyways?) was the biggest nut case but also lived his fears by doing amazing stunts. We will miss your insane character but wish you the best of luck in paradise. So long Evel!

Question?

Do you ever wonder what made him think so hard!

Shrek the Halls

Wednesday Nov. 28th at 8/7c "Shrek the Halls" don't forget!!!!!

The half-hour tv show will feature Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz and Antonio Banderas reprising their roles from the theatrical feature films. Stephen McPherson, president of ABC Entertainment, said "Family classics are a cornerstone of our brand, and Shrek The Halls will provide warm memories year-after-year, and be a great addition to our library of holiday favorites such as Santa Claus is Comin' to Town and A Charlie Brown Christmas". Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation, added "The time has come to celebrate the joys of the holiday season with Shrek and his family, and see how Christmas would play out in his world.

Shrek the Halls follows a natural storytelling path for us, and we're so happy to be partnered with ABC in expanding the world of Shrek into the television arena". The special will be directed by Gary Trousdale (Beauty and the Beast) and produced by Teresa Cheng (Madagascar) and Gina Shay (The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie).

Shrek Goes Fourth (Shrek 4)

Dreamworks is testing the audience on how far they can push Shrek. There is supposed to be around 5 Shreks according to Dreamworks. The story was created in depth for a 5 part series. The next Shrek is called Shrek Goes Fourth and it is directed by Mike Mitchell. The film is in pre-production and is scheduled to be released in 2010!

The full cast is back Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy, Antonio Banderas and Mike Myers thank heavens. With out them it wouldn't be the same. I will try to do some more research on Shrek, but until then keep an eye out for Shrek the Third.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

There isn't a plot of the story that George Lucas has revealed yet so the anticipation of the plot still exhilarating. I am very excited that George Lucas decided to revisit the Trilogy to add another to the mix. I am still upset that Sean wasn't able to come back but I do respect his decision to stay retired. Check out the website there are some videos of what is going on about the film. Stay tuned for more Harrison Ford!!!!

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

Director Rob Cohen is making the Mummy 3. In the Far East, trouble-seeking father-and-son duo Rick (Fraser) and Alex O'Connell (Ford) unearth the mummy of the first Emperor of Qin (Li) -- a shape-shifting entity who was cursed by a wizard (Yeoh) centuries ago. I just stumbled across this site on how Rob is created the movie and kind of doing a day to day documentary of the film "on location". The Mummy 3 and also just to note Digital Domain is doing the visual effects of the film. This is the same company that did 1/4 of the effects on transformers.

"Toujours Tingo" by Adam Jacot de Boinod

While I was traveling to Channel 8 I was listening to a program on news radio about this guy who read over 600 dictionaries to find the funniest, weirdest words he can find. I was thinking the same thing..."Does this guy have a life?" Well some of the words that he came across was just fascinating.

He gets these words from every culture and region all around the world. I placed him in my books links and also my other blogs. Check him out if you have time.here is his blog where he talks about the words that he has found and also his book that he has published.

Beowulf...

Ever since I purchase a 1913 version of beowulf, I was waiting for somebody (a decent director) to make a film of it. And finally it has arrived. Robert Zemeckis has done such films as Monster House, What Lies beneath and Death Becomes Her just to name a few. I am really excited to see the film. Check out the website it is fantastic!
