I went to see Pan's Labyrinth today with yokiem.

Wow, really interesting movie. It weaves the little girl's fantasy world so neatly with the real world that it's practically seamless. The puppetry or CGI (not too sure if it was one or the other or both) was delightful and a little creepy.

The only drawback was the somewhat shocking graphic violence in parts. It was very realistic and I won't fault them for it, though I spent several scenes peering through my fingers occasionally to see if it was over yet. Not for the very squeamish in that sense.


I have a question for the LJ-savvy:
Everyone seems to have this funky thing on their layout, where it shows their tags down a sidebar in one format or another. How are you all doing this? I really want to know.

I've a question for you now: how did you manage to capture the YouTube clips you used in the Out Of Bounds vids? (Oh, and I have more John-in-civvies footage if you're interested.)

I used a site called http://keepvid.com/
You just put in the url and it gives you a dl link.

This will get you an FLV file, which I couldn't seem to play, but if you go to www.zamzar.com you can upload the FLV file and it changes it into a fileformat of your choice. I chose AVI.

This is kind of frustrating with all the uploading and dling. thepouncer gave me some other alternative programs for file conversion here (http://starrylizard.livejournal.com/202583.html), but I haven't tried any of those programs yet.

What John footage have you got? I still need to peruse my collection and get some bits where he looks a little less "long in the tooth" *grins*
