I uploaded all the new files for Longimage.com today for testing. I discovered quite a few things I need to fix (like an errant image that likes to disappear from where it should be and reappear up at the top). However, when I open up the pages in dreamweaver (MX) and click anywhere in the GUI or HTML views a “fatal exception occurs” and the program shuts down. I already knew that dreamweaver MX doesn’t work well in Vista – and Adobe was thoughtful enough to not provide any updates. Of course I didn’t know about this when I purchased Creative Suite without the new dreamweaver (thinking MX would work just fine).

So, now I suppose I’ll have to toy around in the actual HTML by editing in the control panel on my server…. which is not fun – and can have disastrous effects if you hit one wrong key.

I’m watching Southland Tales while all this is going down and…boy… is this bad. I mean, it really is…really… bad. I’m less than halfway through and I’m not even sure if I can finish it (even though I’ve nothing else to do today). I didn’t know the whole 1996 cast of Saturday Night Live was going to be in this movie… as well as John Larroquette…Jon Lovitz…and half the cast of I Know What You did Last Summer (or whatever teen movie Sean William Scott, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Mandy Moore “starred” in).

Oh, right, and Justin Timberlake narrates. OH! and Booger from revenge of the nerds and the little scary lady from Poltergeist (even holding a crystal ball at one point and making a prediction) keep popping up. Further surprising cameos include:
Bai Ling as…who knows what…she is just standing around
Kevin Smith with no legs
Nora Dunn
Miranda Richardson
Janeane Garofalo
and even Highlander himself Christopher Lambert as a street arms dealer

I keep thinking “this movie is so bad – but the music is pretty good” – turns out Moby did the entire soundtrack (except for that Muse song I heard a minute ago).

It seems to be raining a lot in this movie – which doesn’t really happen a lot in the real Southland.
