Homework? What homework?

GAH!!! I am way too excited for this movie to come out. Seriously!

By the way, Trixie the Triceratops is voiced by Kristen Schaal who plays Mel in Flight of the Conchords (I couldn't mistake her voice ever!) which is so awesome :D

Okay, I'll be quite now.

*SIGH* Back to the trenches...

Working Title?

Working Title: "A temporary name for product or project used during its production, usually a film, novel, video game or music album. Working titles are used primarily for two reasons: the first being that an official title has not been decided upon, the second being to intentionally disguise the production of a project." (Thanks Wikipedia, I couldn't have said it any better myself!)

Tidbit: Often, movies will be shipped to theatres under their working title rather than their official title. Also, working titles will be used to hide the movie from the public so that the set isn't bombarded with fans harassing the actors and directors (although this doesn't always work.)

So, why did I name by blog "Working Title?" Well, to be perfectly honest, I was having a difficult time trying to come up with a name that fit what I wanted to write about. Suddenly, "Working Title" came to mind and I thought it would be quite appropriate as I had no official name for my blog, and it was related to film. I really liked this idea, and so, the name stuck :)

For your amusement, here are the working titles of some movies:

Black Mask - Pulp Fiction
Everybody Comes to Rick's - Casablanca
Wimpy - Psycho
It Had to be Jew - Annie Hall
Listen Darkling - Vertigo
Not Tonight, Josephine - Some Like it Hot

More to come soon.....

Hello One and All!

Hello,

My name is Pia and this is my blog. Welcome! Why did I start this blog? Well, I have been thinking about creating one for quite a while but I haven't been able to pluck up enough courage to do so until now (I mean, all of my thoughts will be displayed here for everyone to see. I'm allowed to be shy...right?) A lot of my friends have begun writing blogs and my urge to start one of my own was itching at the back of my brain. Finally, I thought, "well, if everyone else can do this, so can I!" And so I did.

The first reason I wanted to start a blog is because I LOVE to write. It is the best way in which I communicate and I find it very relaxing and cathartic. As well, most of the writing I do throughout the year is for school (you know, essays and such) and this kind of writing does not allow me the freedom to express myself properly. So, this blog will be my creative outlet, my escape from the monotony that is school.

The second reason I wanted to start a blog is because I LOVE to talk about my hobby: Film!!! I am still only at the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the subject, however, I wish to continue learning and fine tuning my knowledge, as my ultimate dream is to one day work within the industry. So I figured I could utilize what little knowledge I have to muse upon the movies I see or want to see, actors, actresses, directors, cinematography, editing, soundtracks, the art of filmaking and cinema in general!

To fuse together my two loves, that is writing and film, well, there could be no better satifaction for me. So to everybody, or nobody, I hope you enjoy this little slice of Pia. I know that I will have a lot of fun, now that I am part of the blogging world. :)

That is all,

-Pia. A
