Spotify Still Expects U.S. Launch Before 2010′s Out
When Spotify planned a big party, in London’s fashionable Camden Thursday night, specifically “to celebrate reaching 10 million users across Europe”, I could hopefully be forgiven for having interpreted it as an acceptance that Europe would remain the music service’s only customer territory, that its long-sought American dream had now foundered for good.
My 17th birthday party falls around Christmas, and this year I would really like to do a “Nightmare Before Christmas Theme” but I’m having trouble coming up with ideas for activities and games. Obviously, we will watch the Nightmare Before Christmas, but we need some fun games to go along with it!

Remember to watch in HQ. The Nightmare Before Christmas Poem animation from the newest DVD release with Patrick Stewart’s reading (not Christopher Lee) of the original poem Tim Burton was inspired by to make the movie. Enjoy!!!

Its about Santa coming to the door with tears in his eyes and saying, “Tell the children…” and he goes on telling the mom to tell the children the true meaning of christmas, and what all the symbols and stuff mean. Can anyone tell me the name or who its by?

Many of the most popular movies of all time are remakes (Ben Hur, Titanic, The Magnificent Seven, Robin Hood) so we know it can be done well, and there is nothing wrong with the idea in principle. It can be done badly though – for every 3:10 to Yuma there is a Halloween II. Sometimes the film-maker is tempted to mess around with the story, to put his stamp on it, and they end up ruining it – Tim Burton for example, changed the ending of Planet of the Apes, leaving out the iconic Statue of Liberty scene, and replacing it with one that makes no sense at all. The recent remake of The Wicker Man left out the actual wicker man – a decision so unpopular they had to refilm it to put it back in for the DVD release.
I had been hearing that they were working on another stimulus package in the form of rebate checks to maybe be out before christmas but now I just heard they are working on a package that would get people back to work and get money back in the economy. ARe they working on both or is the one they are working on just to get people back to work?

PLEASE READ: It’s not what it seems! what you are viewing is a COMPLETE recreation of Tim Burton’s poem, “The Nightmare Before Christmas”, Featured on DVD. Over 70 hours of collaborated effort went in to the making of this production. With the exception of the animation, the ENTIRE video was created from the “ground up”. Using Danny Elfman’s original soundtrack for the film, I rearranged and synced the music to fit the scenes, appropriately. Assembling the soundtrack correctly was imperative in order to capture the “feel” and the mood of the story. Unfortunately, there just wasn’t a karaoke track available for this ambitious project. Once the soundtrack was in place, I was then able to add my vocals, reciting Tim Burton’s original poem. If you don’t recognize my voice – GOOD! My intent was to sound like an older, wiser narrater from “another place”, fabricated by MY imagination. With the musical score and preliminary narration in tact, I was able to send off my “rough draft” to my friend, Jeff Kelly for sound design. Jeff searched endlessly for sound bites that would perfectly compliment the events that took place in this video. He gathered sounds from his extensive sound data base, movies and even created his own sounds using household appliances…..and even his wallet! His effort was definitely appreciated as it was paramount in bringing this story to life! Finally, I re-did my narration once again and mixed all of the necessary elements to complete our production …
