Weekend News

Browsed the internet today and stopped upon a few interesting news articles. Thought I'd share them with you. That's all.

Polar Express goes 3D:

Apparently, The Polar Express is the first major Hollywood motion picture, and maybe the first animated film, to be released in 3D, and on the giant IMAX screen, to boot. I've heard mixed reviews on the film, but I still want to see it. Let me know if you're interested and we'll go see it at The Bridge together.

Death Cab signs with Atlantic Records:

For all you rock fans, it was announced this weekend that Death Cab for Cutie has, in fact, signed with a major record label. Although this detracts somewhat from their indie appeal, lead singer Ben Gibbard claims that nothing will change about their music. I'll believe it when I see it.

Underground House:

This isn't breaking news by any means, but Lance sent me this link today about a house built entirely underground. Much to my surprise, it's been 'standing' for more than 25 years in my home town of Las Vegas.

Auburn Jumps USC on ESPN.com:

It seems that everyone is jumping on the Dan McConnell bandwagon in discounting the pre-season rankings. Nearly a week after I made my statements about how USC's pre-season ranking has helped them remain #1, CBS decides to no longer use the poll rankings during televised games, and Ivan Maisel of ESPN.com claims, "The only reason that the Trojans are No. 1 is that they started there." Now, ESPN.com analysts propel Auburn to the #1 spot in their weekly "Power 16" rankings. Also, for those who don't know, Utah won again this weekend. USC vs Auburn in Miami and Utah vs Oklahoma in Arizona is looking more like a reality...watch it happen.


I'm out.
