Movie Makers Meeting #2

We had our second meeting of the Movie Makers last night, and it went really well! Merritt proposed an idea for our project that everyone agreed was really awesome.

You all remember my blog post about Scott Pilgrim: the movie and the comic, right? Of course you do! Anywho, Merritt thought it would be cool to do our own version of Scott Pilgrim where, to win the affections of Ramona Flowers, Scott must battle her 7 evil exes. Only, instead of the evil exes from the books we've chosen book/movie/tv characters for our Scott Pilgrim to battle! Here they are:

  • Howl Jenkins (Howl's Moving Castle)
  • Lady Macbeth (Macbeth)
  • Peeta Malark (Hunger Games trilogy)
  • the creepy twins from The Shining
  • Captain Jack Sparrow
  • Voldemort (well, you know)
We're thinking that Edward Cullen will also make a quick cameo as well as other favorite characters like Katara, Kingdom Hearts characters, and Frank J. Brown.

So the homework for next meeting is to watch/read/research Scott Pilgrim so you know what we're talking about when we plan out the episodes! If you haven't come to Movie Makers yet, you are definitely welcome, there are lots of characters to be cast and lots of other things to do if you don't want to be in front of the camera!

DFTBA,
Sti

Summer 2021 Recommendations for Your High School Reader!

  Summer is fast approaching and if you have a high school reader, you might be looking for new titles to engage them this summer. Librarian, historian, and author Alexandria Brown has allowed us to share their recommended lists to help make that easier! Per their blog*: As a high school librarian, offering reading recommendations for students is one of my favorite parts of my job. These lists are for parents, library workers, and teen readers... I created these lists through an alchemy involving age of the protagonists, themes, genre, tone, complexity, reader skill/comfortability level, events and topics a student will likely encounter in their studies during the school year, and books they are unlikely to read for school. I also tried to pick materials that published in the last few years or will be published by June 2021. Preference to #ownvoices and marginalized authors. Below you'll find links to their lists broken up by grade level. Whether you know an avid reader who always...

Coraline Trailer!

Here's the best trailer for Coraline so far. And it's actually Neil Gaiman's (he wrote the book) favorite!
