Interesting little new piece of fun for DeviantArt members called "Pasties". Observe:

These are my most popular Deviations.




I do wish though you actualy choose which deviations you show. Instead, it's done by category. Such as, my most popular deviations, or my featured deviation (with caption), or some of my recent favorites. *shrugs* Interesting I suppose if you want to pimp your gallery, or other people's art on your website. You can also show recent Deviations to a certain category (which means you could be displaying anyone's art).

It's features like these that make me realize most people have no clue what the DeviantART Terms of Service really means. Everyone wants to assume DA wishes to own the copyright to and sell their art, when it seems to me DA just wants to be able to do things like Pasties without needing to ask permission. Basically, because DA gave me permission to use Pasties on my website (through giving me the feature), I can post a thumbnail and link to anyone's artwork on DA without requiring to ask them, since by submitting the artwork to DA, they have allowed DA to use their artwork in specific manners as detailed in the TOS. Since the thumbnail comes with a link to the work (and subsequently that artist's gallery), I don't see how this is a bad thing.

As some of you may know, I live in the Central Florida area. As such, I have access to numerous movie theaters which cater to my various ecclectic tastes. There's Muvico if I want something inexpensive and close-by, there's Regal Cinemas for hanging out with college buddies, and there's The Enzian for tastes of the independent. Recently, a new theater, a Premiere Cinemas theater, opened at the Fashion Square Mall on Colonial Dr. in Orlando. I went there with a friend to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (my second time), and marvelled out how nice and clean the place was, and how high the prices were. Well, it is brand new, I suppose, on both counts. Anyway, as we sat in the small theater, the size wasn't the only thing that got me looking around expectantly; a tense music score kept playing in the background, over and over, like something was going to happen. However, at the end of the score, nothing occured, and it started over again.

Finally, though, ten minutes after the reported movie schedule, the lights dimmed and the screen came to life. That's when I realized that whooshing sound I kept hearing wasn't part of the tense music score, but was in fact the air conditioning at full blast. This was not the only sour point of my movie experience. Alas, the sound-proofing at the theater is not as good as it should be, and once in awhile, loud sound effects from the adjacent theaters would blast through the walls during an innappropriate moment. Overall, I would rate this theater as a C-. It could be worse, but then who'd go?

So, my evaluation of this theater as compared to others I've been to:

• Clean
• Fast snack service
• Small theaters
  
• Movies do not play on time (too early or too late)
  
• No sound-proofing
• Overpriced

Overall: C-
