Afterlife, Part III/B: The Bitter End

7. May 2016 ~ by Julian

Don’t worry. The film industry and I, we have no tricks left up our sleeves. This will truly be the last post in the series. (Although I’m sure someone will, at some point, make the last part into its own trilogy. And then, a bit further down the road, any big trilogy will really be a trilogy of trilogies. Exciting times are ahead of us.) There won’t be many more after this one. Countdown! Four weeks until we’re back in Botnang!  Read more

Afterlife, Part III/A: A Perfect Storm

5. May 2016 ~ by Julian

The movie industry never fails to squeeze the last cent out of your pocket have pleasantly surprising new ideas to help us spend more time with the characters, creatures and places we’re so enamored with. The reasoning is simple: you’ve been hooked in Part I, and after sitting through the rather horrendous Part II, you are now far too deeply invested to NOT watch the finale. So, why not spread the finale out over two parts? You’ll watch them, anyway. Why sell you one movie, when they can sell you two?  Read more

Afterlife, Part II: A Conspiracy Uncovered

4. May 2016 ~ by Julian

The second part in a trilogy is usually inferior in quality to the first and last. Think about it – all the characters are already introduced and well on their way. The plot and background have been established, all the pieces are set in motion, the conflict is clear as day. And yet, nothing of import can be resolved, no major plot twists may happen, both the heroes and the villains are mostly safe from harm, no important story line can really be tied up. After all, there needs to be a grand finale, the boss fight and a surprising twist in the third part. And so they fill Part II with chase sequences, fight scenes, meandering dialogue and pretty pictures. As will we. Read more

Afterlife, Part I: End of an Era

29. April 2016 ~ by Julian

 

Righty. It’s been a while, and we’ve taken a while longer to sort through all the photos, and then I’ve taken even longer to write stuff down. And because there’s a fair bit of material to chew through, let’s do a trilogy! Why not, they even made a trilogy out of the Hobbit, and that book is like four pages long. Also, let’s completely ignore the beautiful way our posts have been categorized, so far. Let’s mix Han Solo with Rollei photos and random bits and all. Revolution! Chaos! Anarchy! Read more

Otter sex

Two otters just had wild, rough sex, not three meters from us. Now that we’ve seen that, we are ready to come home.

So Much More of Much the Same

6. March 2016 ~ by Julian

With all the ambitious plans we had, I put the Rollei with our jackets and made sure I took it along whenever we left the apartment. After all those ambitious plans had failed miserably, the roll of film was full regardless. Full of pictures you’ve already seen a hundred times before, but we just hope it’s like that special song you love – you’ll tap your feet to the rhythm and hum along, even if it’s playing for the 37th time that day, because the DJ on the radio likes it even more than you do. So yeah. Albert and sunsets galore! Read more

Quotes

28. February 2016 ~ by Julian

And a bit of fun from work, before I go back to work, which is tomorrow. After the last show wrapped, I came to my desk in the morning and found my screens and graphics tablet covered in post-it notes from various colleagues, who had gone through the trouble (?) of assembling this fine list. It might just be a nice thing to look back to in a few years. 🙂 Read more

Borders, Boulders, Plans

28. February 2016 ~ by Julian

Of all the things we wanted to tick off our list, we only got one done: went down to the border. Picture it like this: Albert, totally excited to be in a car for two hours, Agnieszka chilling out while he smiles and entertains himself, me completely relaxed behind the wheel, enjoying the open road and clear, concise traffic guidance around Vancouver. Nothing wrong with a bit of fantasy, is there?

What Was That I Said? And Star Wars Spoilers.

20. February 2016 ~ by Julian

“Didn’t they promise more posts? And pictures? And more and merrier?” We did, indeed. The thing is – everything has become so normal for us and we wouldn’t want to bore you. You go ahead and write a blog when nothing special ever happens, see how far you get. 🙂 But yes, of course, the seasons are a-changing, the wind has turned and turned again, warm sleet has transformed into cold rain, the sunsets come later and later every day, and – this is a big deal – I rode my bike home a few days ago and didn’t even need to turn on my lights!
