Panic Room

by David Guido

Went to see Panic Room. Although it wasn't in the same nature as other David Fincher movies, it was still really good. Nice and dark, great camera work, compelling and suspenseful.

Michelle's Birthday at Fred's

by David Guido

Today is Michelle's birthday, and we all met at Fred's in Huntinton Beach. After that we went to Mr. K's to enjoy some entertaining karaoke, which Tricia and I were just observers. It was fun.

Today is my birthday... whoopee.

Tricia got a bunch of my friends together and we met at the Yard House in Costa Mesa. I really don't like birthdays, but Tricia always seems to make them worthwhile. It was great to hang out with everyone.

Sleepy Hollow

by David Guido

We watched Sleepy Hollow, a DVD Tricia bought gave to me on Valentine's day. I really like this movie... well, I really like pretty much all of Tim Burton's movies.

ET Phone Home, Again

by David Guido

Tricia and I took Ryann to see the re-release of ET. It was very cool to see a movie from our era on the big screen again. The coolest part is that Ryann is the same age that Tricia was when she first saw the movie. I wanted to take her to the exact same theatre, but it's pretty run down now. Tricia was a little disappointed that Ryann wasn't as into the movie like she was when she was a kid. She expected Ryann to cry at certain scenes and be all emotional, but she wasn't. Tricia, on the other hand, was balling her head off.

Evil Beagle and Dark City

by David Guido

I finished the Evil Beagle web site today. This is a quick little project my friends and I whipped together. Check it out, I'm pretty happy with the design (site no longer available).

We also watched Dark City, a DVD that Trevor let me borrow. He thought I would enjoy the visuals, which I did. Although the story was very interesting, the movie itself was just Ok. Hard to explain.

Das Boot

by David Guido

Watched Das Boot this weekend. Great movie. The best part about it was the sound effects on the surround sound system. Especially when they dove really deep and the metal started to creek. That was great!

Dinner and Spinal Tap

by David Guido

We had Ian and Heather over for dinner and a movie tonight. It was cool because we're finally settled with our new kitchen furniture, place settings, silverware, etc. I bar-b-que'd some fat rib-eye steaks with vegetables and the corn cake you get from El Torito (you can buy it in the grocery store now... that is some good shit!).

We watched This Is Spinal Tap. Believe it or not, this was my first time seeing it and I loved it! Tricia liked it too. Heather wasn't into it.

Patterns

by David Guido

Check out this randomly generated David Guido Design Pattern.

Created at PrayStation.com. Go to machine.0500.(2001), and click on 'type setting'. You also have to take a look at machines.(2000) and click on 'machine.1100.(2000)'. That is my favorite one. I swear I can stare at it for hours.

Basketball and High Fidelity

by David Guido

Went to Jordan's final basketball game of the season, and he kicked butt as usual. Oh, he only scored 25 points this game. The kid is simply amazing!

T and I later watched High Fidelity. This has to be Jack Black's best performance (besides on stage). Great movie.

Criterion

by David Guido

Went to Sam's club today while we were waiting for Tricia's car to get it's 30000 mile checkup. I swear, you can never walk out of that place without spending less than a 100 bucks. The good news is that I bought the double DVD set with Rushmore and High Fidelity. And Rushmore is a Criterion Collection DVD. Both for only 26 bucks! Nice score!

Here's a better Criterion Link: www.CriterionDVD.com.

The Musketeer

by David Guido

I was going to ride El Moro with Steve, but it started raining right when I was about to drive there. Not like a little rain would ever stop me, but they usually close the park when it rains.

So I went home early and cooked diner for Tricia. We then rented The Musketeer... what a piece of crap. I mean, the fighting scenes, coordinated by Xin Xin Xiong, were pretty cool, but definitely not realistic at all. The best acting in the movie was from a 12 year-old little girl.
