Follow up on those movies…

So the post didn’t even arrive on Saturday. Slightly aggravating, as it meant that I spent the entire morning going up and down the stairs, checking to see if it had yet arrived. It also means that it is either just running a bit late, or our mail is in the huge pile of letters that have been disrupted by the strike.

I sent these DVDs off on Sunday, so they would have been picked up first thing on Monday. Thus making it a week for them to arrive if they come tomorrow.

My sister arrives back from America this Friday, and how does this tie in with LoveFilm movies? It means that the last two DVDs I get all to myself before her list is included again are going to be seriously cheesy. Hmph.

So tonight I’m going to watch Resident Evil on my projector. Although I’m a bit wary about using it because I don’t want to lamp to conk out before my sister gets to see it!

On the topic of movies, last night I watched The Ring. I’ve decided that, that is the type of horror I like best. I got too freaked out by Drag Me To Hell, especially when the old lady is sucking on her chin. I remember watching The Blair Witch Project last Halloween and really enjoying it, apparently there’s a new movie that’s going to be released that’s in similar style. I’ll be eager to watch that!

Movie Making + My New Job Aspiration

So, I’ve been thinking about the future. A little thing about me is that my job aspiration changes all the time, a month ago I wanted to be an astronaut. Trouble is, is that I’m not good at working in a team, a quality they look for apparently. So I’ll have to get into space by some other means, like with Virgin, or the creator of Cirque Du Soleil who did that show.

Instead, I’m going to become a scientist. Perhaps looking at genetics, a future Human Genome Project for instance. Although I am pretty worried about such scientific discoveries being used for the wrong reasons.

And… the highlight of this new plan is that in my free time I’ll make a low budget film, ‘The Blair Witch Project’ style. You know, like how they were so cheap about it that they returned one of the cameras back to the shop when they’d finished filming. That means, that another person who went and bought a camera from that store, could actually have bought one which filmed the movie! Epic.

The movie will get loads of critical acclaim, and I’ll be the next JJ Abrams Nah, in my dreams.

But I do make movies in my lunchtimes. My group are currently making a safety video for a random contest. It’s not going to well, and it brings out the more violent side of myself but it’s still fun.

We’ve not finished filming yet, but we’ve started editing. I get so angry, I have a friend who I’ll call Chantelle. In some of our shots she’s been her usual disruptive self and we’ve got random paper balls flying across the shot. I’m literally in a zoo. No joke.
