At SDCC this year, I got a chance to sit down and chat with Ashley Eckstein. Ashley is most recognized for voicing the character of Ahsoka in The Clones Wars film and series.
We chatted about her involvement with the franchise as well as a bit about geek culture. She also talked a bit about her clothing line Her Universe, which specializes in catering to the female audience in the world of geeks. Read on to find out everything she had to say. And you'll find out how you can win a The Clone Wars poster signed by Ashley Eckstein after the interview.
FilmWatch:
This October, NBC and the producers/writers of 'Buffy' and 'Angel' are set to treat us to more of the supernatural. This new series will unleash fairy tales upon our world like you've never seen before. What we thought were just childhood tales are, in fact, true life cautionary tales to warn us of the dangers that lurk in the darkness: supernatural creatures that threaten our existence.
I actually like the sound of this a lot. At first I didn't know what it was and didn't even know it was going to be a tv show. Now that I do know I guess NBC is getting one night of viewing from me.
"Connect To" provides a charming story that proves hope, though lost, can be found so long as we don't give up. In our darkest hours, life can be rejuvenated if only we seek to follow through and find that silver lining, continuing to carry on. Under the weight of the world, a chance encounter can provide an unlikely friendship to prove we're never alone and all will be well as we carry on. Despite some faults, it is still a compassionate film reminding us that it is the connections we make that can give meaning to our lives and be the most valuable thing life has to offer.
I like the concept of this movie but I'm not sure if I can sit thru a movie without action in it. I may have to wait until it comes out on DVD and watch it at home. I'm kinda one of these people that likes to be on the edge of my seat when I'm watching a movie...so if it's not drama, suspense, thriller, action, horror, I might fall asleep and that would be embarrasing.
Moral of the story: People on FW.. really like Nolan!
Spike Jonze, where art thou?
I happy how they worded the title
it is film watches "favorite"
nice and unbiased, just how it should be
on another note, Nolan is great, but not number one to me
my number one is shared between Kubrick and PT Anderson
with the coens and tarantino at number two
Very well said JL. My feelings exactly. Some of the best have made some of the most boring movies out there today. But...they had and have a vision that others don't.
Like you I enjoy some of these action knock down shoot em up films just for the fun of watch them because they're fun to watch. All movies don't have to be classics to be good.
