Yup, this is pretty much going to be a random entry. So, hang on to your tootsies!
So, after having a hold of it for ages, I finally got round to watching the Buffy unaired pilot last night. Not bad, but I can see why they recast Willow. The actress was, how can I put this delicately, shit. But still worth getting a hold of.
Something else which is worth getting a hold of is a documentary I watched on Wednesday night called So Much, So Fast. It’s about a guy suffering from ALS (AKA motor neuron disease). While he comes to terms with slowly losing control of his body his brother, frustrated at the lack of research into a cure/drug to help slow things down (ALS is what is known as an orphan disease, so called because there’s not enough sufferers to make it worth drugs companies time looking into it) sets up a foundation to do the research himself. Meanwhile his girlfriend isn’t immediately sure about marrying him, not because she doesn’t love him but in case anyone accuses him of being selfish by asking her when he’s got a terminal illness. It is one of the most moving and heartbreaking things I have seen in a long time.
I decided I was bored with my old myspace layout. After all, I have had it for quite a while now. So, with the help of a generator, I made my own. And very proud of it I am too. Have a look and tell me what you think.
Those of you who have previously expressed an interest in reading through my scripts and giving me feedback, watch your inboxes over the next few days. As of Tuesday I have exactly 2 months to get the myspace thing written, crewed, cast, filmed, edited and submitted. So I’m going to finish the script this weekend (honest) and send it probably Monday or Tuesday. If you are not on the list and would like to be, leave a note with your email address. If you are on the list but don’t think you’ll have time to give me quick feedback/just plain don’t want to be anymore, leave me a note to that effect too.
And finally, cos I also watched these last night some stuff from Ren and Stimpy!
The Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen:
The Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy song!
(Annoyingly I couldn’t find the one from the series. I chose this one simply for the inanity of the maker thinking we actually need help with the chorus!)
And finally, an advert:
(And, yes, I do know that song by heart.)
