updates and what i've been upto. (personal development blog 3)

So so so. This is whats been happening with me.
It is currently 3.40 in the morning (saturday night is it, or sunday morning) so this may not make much sense as i am very tired.

First off, you should know by know i'm a massive film geek! all i do is watch films and all i wanna do i watch films. SO! films i've seen recently. JUNO! Wow, fantastic, brilliant. A film that is unbelievably funny and it doesn't have to be stupid. Fans of Little Miss Sunshine, sideways and other quirky dramas will LOVE this. CLOVERFIELD another surprisingly good film. NONE STOP fun, there is always something to keep you going. Only critism is you get to see too many close ups of the monster. when its from a far or on the video camera screen your like "wow, what is it" and you can't make up your mind...is it a fish, is it a dinosaur, but then they show you it and then your like " oh, so thats it" kind of takes away the edge. RATATOUIE or how every its spelt, Again FANTASTIC, i rented it, then i bought it because i wanna see the specail features. unfortunitely i cant find my remote so that be comes a serious problem. NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, could have been better, some of the dialouge was a bit too long and unnessercery, but the intense parts were at its best and the cinematography were great. HALLAM FOE, i have to say it i like Jamie Bell and this low bugdit flick has a treat.

NEXT
Books, i have been getting myself into the habbit of reading, so i bought myself some new books. First, SHORTCOMINGS by Adrian Tomine, a graphic novel tackerling relationship problems. I really enjoyed this, only took me two nights to read it, kept me going. Second, BLANKETS by Craig Thompson, another graphic novel about a teenager growing up and meeting a girl. I first read this when i was in my late teens (about 16-17) and it truely changed my life. I thought i'd go back to it to see if i feel the same. AND yes, the story is really touching. I decided that i want to make a film about it, and i am being deadly serious. I am going to contact Craig and pitch the idea. THIRD, STREET SKETCHBOOK, a collection of young illustrators and grafitti artists. This book is really inspiring it shows you artists work in there natural form, hense the title. I recommand this to everyone on our course.

LAST
What have i been upto, well i can tell you that i haven't been doing the critical studies essay, should really start that. I HAVE been making myself a website www.mystrangeworld.co.uk it is still under construction, the idea is...i am going to change the style of website every other month to co-inside with the main feature. At the moment it looks all dirty, that is because the feature is going to be a gallery i have been working on called TORTURE.
I have also created some more posters for the soundpeople gig promotions, although i haven't been paid again. You shoudl be able to see the previous posters around leeds now.
AND very last, i have continued to keep up with my doodle pad and it is full of wonderful sketches, this will be available to view on my website. also i rented out a video camera from college. They are much fun.
