Alice Blu-Ray Out Tomorrow!

Yours truly will once again be on the supplemental feature Reflections on Alice on the Alice in Wonderland Blu-Ray disc out tomorrow, Feb. 1. Get yours now!

Alice in Wonderland Blu-Ray Release Announced

Thanks to reader the-mad-kiwi for the heads up on this.  The Blu-Ray release of Alice in Wonderland was announced this week, scheduled for February 1st, 2011.  There are a couple of new supplemental features on this release, and my appearance in Reflections on Alice is also included, so go me!  Let's hope they announce more new features.

Un-Anniversary Edition DVD Released - I Made the Cut!

And there was a collective sigh of relief here in the Tulgey Wood - I didn't make an ass of myself. Thank goodness. And I only made one mistake (can you spot it?).

I wish I had had the presence of mind to smile, but I was quite frankly petrified! But all turned out well, and I have the fantastic staff at EMC West to thank for making me look good - well at least like I knew what I was talking about :-)

Un-Anniversary Edition of Alice DVD Release Announced

Ok ladies and gentlemen, here it is, your chance to see yours truly on the small screen. They have just announced the release date for the new DVD with the featurette for which I was interviewed. Release scheduled for March 30, 2010.

Get it while you can! (please don't let me have made a fool of myself...or worse, end up on the cutting room floor!)

Me and My DVD Experience

First of all I want to say that the whole crew at EMC West are just fantastic! They were so nice to me and greatly relieved a lot of my fears and anxiety over being on camera. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs this kind of work. Plus donuts!

My experience was not exactly what I was expecting, but I think it turned out ok. I was way more nervous than I thought I'd be, as evidenced by needing re-application of makeup even before we started filming! I caught my self rambling on a couple of occasions; I'm sure I didn't catch myself on others. I'm quite sure that the EMC crew will make me look much more intelligent than I felt with a little judicious editing ;-)

All in all a great experience, one that I hope to repeat when/if there is an Alice Blu-Ray release (hint,hint). I'm sure I'll be much calmer having one under my belt already. Who knows, maybe there'll even be budget to come and visit the collection in situ, that would be ideal.

Burbank, Here I Come!

I'll be offline for a couple of days, taking a whirlwind trip to beautiful downtown Burbank. Yours truly is being interviewed for the new Alice in Wonderland DVD supplemental material. How cool is that? Everyone please send good thoughts that I don't make a complete ass of myself on camera.
