Musings of an Idiot

posters and movies

Just finished watching THE SECRETARY and it was different but it was so sweet. Love speaks different languages but the emotion is the same. Really enjoyed the acting of both the leads and it was fascinating seeing them explore the subject. So much was not told but shown and it was great, since it kept me engaged as audience. Definitely worth a look.

Yesterday - watched JAPANESE STORY which was a lovely and poignant love story and an unusual love story. Absolutely loved it and it was one of the better aussie films I have seen in a long time. The movie really rocked in every sense. the cinematography, the editing, the directing, the acting and just the lovely australian topography. It was just a terrific experience.

Also watched T3: Rise of the Machines again as it was showing on TV and it wasn't as bad as i thought of it when i watched it the first time when it was released at theatres. I still like Arnold in the movie - he kicks ass. The story was alright but nothing can match T2: Judgement Day.

And now if you are thinking that I am spending the rest of my blog writing about the movies I have seen recently then here is the surprise. I am not. :-)

Today I went up to Britomart and put up the posters there and it was fantastic. Maurice Banse, the PR and marketing person was kind to allow us to put them up and promote our film. Have a look at some of the pics here and i have put more of them up at the photo gallery.

In the evening, Lance confirmed that he had put up couple of posters at TVNZ in the cafeteria, which is great and I will see when I can get some pics and put them up. But it is exciting putting in marketing efforts, however small to aid in getting the team's efforts recognized.

Brett has also put up those posters up on the movie section and you can access them by clicking HERE. Please feel free to download the posters and print them out for your purposes.

Today, Annette and Lance McDonald confirmed that they got the internship positions at TVNZ which is exciting and fantastic. So now there are another 3 immediate jobs on the market and will get to know soon if South Seas graduates have got them or not. It is hard to describe in words how fulfilling it is when your students are placed in jobs. Most of the paperwork for this year is complete and it is good to see all this stuff out of the way before next year begins. Tutoring staff goes on leave from 17th of this month which means that it is my last week at school for this year. It means I will now be able to sit in with Benji on the fine cut. It is another exciting thing seeing the movie come together.

Anyway, will let go for now. Otherwise might end up babbling about the weather -which by the way is kind of strange at the moment.
