23 Part 3 [The End]

Pay close attention in this third part of 23 and you will see a cameo from my good self, complete with gormless expression and stupid hair-cutted girlfriend (hey, it was the early nineties...)

What you won't see however, it the moment I grew dis-illusioned with the whole media / film world and decided to pack it all in and never have anything to do with video cameras and editing suites and actors and scripts and all the other trinkets and baubles that are associated with it. The trauma of making 23, coupled with the general crapness of the Uni course had completely put me off the whole thing.

Kinda ironic that now, after 10 years, I'm probably one of the only people to graduate from the shitty course that are even remotely involved with the media world. That's kinda ironic, right?

Anyway, I do hope you enjoyed this little flashback to the old, analogue ways of making films, before we used computers and ones and zeros. I tell you, the first time I played with an Avid after 3 years of tape to tape 2 machine VHS suites, I almost died. At least, FREEDOM!!! [Although I still maintain the discipline of that way of working teaches tighter editing]

Next time - we make a zombie movie...

I am Iron Man [duh-na-nuh-ne-ner-ner-ner]

Okay, I've been a way for a while, due to it being very cold and me being very drunk, but Im back now with regular(ish) posts. Keep ther cheering down, you at the back...

First up - another trailer. Now I know Im meant to be writing about my films and all that junk, but after seeing the Indy trailer and being genuinely excited, along comes another big summer blockbuster which looks like it could be *gasp* pretty good.

Not being a big superhero comics fan, I knew nothing until my neighbour lent me a copy of 'The Ultimates' (thanks Pete!) and while it wasn't Watchmen level awesome, it was still v. cool and it was the first time I'd even heard of Iron Man really, but then I saw the trailer and what do you know, they might have made a superhero film to rival the first Spiderman.

Apart from his arch nemesis is called Iron Monger - seriously WTF? I would be more worried if the wasnt played by His Royal Dudeness, el duderino or just Dude if you're into that whole brevity thing.

It could be a blast, well, until the Watchmen movie kicks it out of the park (fingers crossed....)
