Musings of an Idiot

Cure

I have a splitting headache and it is definitely painful - can't move my head without feeling it. I watched a couple of movies today: Xmen3: The Last Stand and Barbarian Invasions.

X3 was entertaining and it was definitely better as far as mutants as their use of their powers go but it also has a lot of missed opportunities as far as story goes. The plot is a tad uneven and there are glaring continuity mistakes and is an example of a movie which could do with a longer running time. Some major scenes needed to breath and the build up needed to be better in some scenes. But still it is an entertaining watch.

Barbarian Invasions won the 2004 Oscar for Best Foreign Movie but I can't understand why. I mean it is a good movie, gentle and humorous at times and is about reflection on life and the reality of death but still it did not stand out that much to me. It is a worthwhile watch.

I also got a letter from Screen Innovation Production Fund stating that our application was not successful in recieving the grant - so that's that. Now have to secure further funding from sources outside of New Zealand - it should be another interesting phase in the learning process.

My flatmate bought himself a new 32"TV - it is a widescreen TV, so normal TV appears quite stretched because it is extending the 12:9 image onto a 16:9 screen. Watching DVD's is fun though because it is true 16:9.

Pete - thank for posting a comment on my previous post. Overall I think people are quite content just being anonymous or maybe not many people read what I write here.

Till later,
Amit
