Nik's or Lafemmenikita07's Contributing Associate
"Diva03" On Her Way to Another Super Fan
Convention Event
YOU KNOW DIVAs KNOW ABOUT ENHANCING THE SKIN NON COSTLY. GET AVON
a-ok
We are approaching the end of January 2007 Super Fans and "Nik" pronounced Nick for Lafemme Nikita07 and Associates' calendars are filling up and convention confirmations are coming in. So far Nik and her Contributing Associates are covering HauntX, Wizard LA, LA Independent Film Festival, LA Short Film Festival, MET2 2007 Off Broadway Production of Peter Pan and the San Diego Comic Con. In addition, "Jolie" pronouned Joee another Contributing Associate may cover the SCI-Fi events in Burbank California for us in 2007. 
Speaking of Jolie, Jolie won first place for her costume including a $250.00 gift certificate at the 2006 Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis Convention by Creation Entertainment. That was the last 2006 event for Burbank, California in 2006. Doesn't Jolie look great. In addition, Jolie made the costume.
Due to rising costs Nik and her associates are trying to attend different events to have more coverage without increased costs. To illustrate, "The Writer" and Nik are suppose to go to Wizard LA. "The Writer" and "The Shaw" may go to the San Diego Comic Con with Nik. Things may change because family committments and other activities are first priority. However, it could be chaos if we do not plan. Stay tune for more!!!!
If you have heard from Libby from the East Coast let us know.
special
Now let's go to (then) child actress Carrie Henn. Actress Carrie Henn portrayed the character "Newt". Newt caputured the heart of "Lt. Ellen Ripley" portrayed by actress Sigourney Weaver and almost stole the spotlight.
More to come!!!!!!!
d'ohThis article by Scott Mantz has some good points about low turn out to the movies. However, in my opinion, it is a lot of reasons the turnout is low that may not have anything to do with whether a movie is good and/or the acting is great. Based on the people I am around, the budgets are limited for entertainment and the movies have to compete with other forms of entertainment including money for vacations. To illustrate I attended approximately 4 special exhibits showing within the last year and a half at the Los Angeles Musuem of Art (LAMA) this year such as: (1) The Phillips Collection, (2) King Tut, (3) Cezanne and Pissaro and (4) Van Gogh. I enjoyed myself so much that I continue to be a member and I have not be disappointed with a show yet.

Here’s a scary thought – the first decade of the new Millennium is now half over.
And wow, did 2005 fly by, or what? It feels like just yesterday that I was looking back on 2004, when box office grosses were at an all-time high, thanks to surefire hits like “Spider-Man 2” and “Shrek 2” and trend-bucking flukes like “Fahrenheit 9/11” and “The Passion of the Christ.”
But as the saying goes, what a difference a year can make, as those in the movie business are now asking themselves, “where were those flukes when we needed them?” That’s because despite top-grossers like “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and “War of the Worlds,” there were no real flukes.
As a result, overall box office receipts for 2005 will total around $8.75 billion – that’s down 5% compared to last year’s record-breaking total of $9.2 billion. When you factor in higher ticket prices, actual admissions were down by an even bigger margin – a whopping 11% to 1.32 billion compared to 1.48 billion last year. And since 527 new films were released in 2005 compared to 507 in 2004, that means more films were released to less business.
So what happened? Hollywood movies were just as good (or as bad) as they were every year, so why weren’t people flocking to the multiplexes to see them – especially now that most theaters are equipped with stadium seating and state-of-the-art technology?
In trying to answer those questions, industry pundits sure had a lot to write about. And by the middle of the summer, when weekend box office tallies were down for 19 straight weeks compared to the same frames last year, everyone was doing just that.
And many of their conclusions were fairly justified, especially when it came to the fact that it’s just too damned expensive to go to the movies these days. Tickets cost too much. Food concessions cost even more. And then there’s parking, which can be a chore in itself. And even if you make it inside the theater, there’s always the chance that some pinhead forgot turn off his cell phone.
So why not stay at home? It’s cheaper. It’s more comfortable. And if you wait long enough, that big movie you missed in theaters 3 months ago probably just came out on DVD anyway. And you can always schedule watching that DVD around your other diversions – like checking your email, surfing the web, downloading music onto your iPod or playing videogames.
Of course, there’s the ultimate conclusion, and it’s one that the Hollywood studios could no longer ignore – that their movies just weren’t any good. That would certainly explain why a number of high-profile wannabe blockbusters like “Stealth,” “The Island” and “XXX: State of the Union” tanked at the box office. After all, no amount of studio marketing can save a bad movie, and in the end, moviegoers know a stinker when they see one.
Do these points make sense? Certainly. But is it too soon to over-react and throw in the towel on the moviegoing experience? Absolutely.
While the downturn at the box office is definitely cause for concern, it’s too early to say whether or not it will get worse or if it’s all part of a cycle that will correct itself. I suppose the only way to know for sure is to give it another year. Who knows, the box office in 2006 could reach record highs, in which case everyone will forget that the problems of 2005 even existed. And if that doesn’t happen, then the movie studios will know that they have a real problem on their hands.
But through all the doom and gloom at the box office, 2005 still ended up being a banner year for quality films – especially towards the end of the year. So here now are my favorite movies of 2005…"
