As the title would suggest, I feel ill today which leads me to believe I am coming down with a cold of some sort. I just feel tired and have a MAHOOSIVE headache; the need to sleep is so great I may collapse as I write this blog. However, all is not bad. In fact, despite my health, I'm generally speaking good!
I'm making a conscious effort, above all things, to write a blog each day. If I don't, you can say "Hey Tom, remember on your third blog when you said you would write one a day and today you haven't", then I'll be a) majorly annoyed with myself and b) annoyed I'm letting my huge number of fans/followers down. :)
So, to start with; film talk. As a member of Cineworld's corporate chain of multiplexes, I feel the need for a trip some day next week, mainly because The Social Network was released last Friday. As a huge David Fincher fan, I'm interested to see what all the fuss is about and how the hell a movie concerning the origins of Facebook is a front-running Oscar contender. I know, it baffles me as well! But hey, give the film a chance. I'm sure the 97% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes isn't there for nothing. A review of that will be posted, I'm pretty sure ASAP.
Equally, can I hear a shout for all you Back To The Future fans out there?! I found this video whilst scanning threw the 'net this morning and it absolutely made my day (one of the reasons to be happy on this lazy Sunday). The video is basically a contemporary re-shoot of the film's original teaser trailer featuring the man himself; Michael J. Fox! It's absolutely fantastic to watch. Great nostalgia and if you listen at the end, a bit of classic Huey Lewis & the News makes an appearance! Check out the link > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM6Ms621898&feature=player_embedded
Now to TV. I've been hearing much about a certain show that has received a great amount of attention since it's first season was shown back in 2007. The show in question is called Mad Men. Many of you may have jumped on the bandwagon and seen it already. I'll admit, as a TV whore, I'm surprised that I haven't stumbled upon it any sooner; however, I have acquired the show's first season and am going to begin watching it this evening (HOPEFULLY). It has received rave reviews for literally everything within the filmic scale; cast, set design, story, cinematography etc. You name it; it's been applauded for so I'm gonna give it a chance. If it manages to come close to Dexter, then I may have a new favourite show on my hands! Speaking of Dexter, I also recently got out Michael C. Hall's former HBO classic Six Feet Under. If have never watched it, I seriously persuade you to do so. It's fantastic TV; an extremely dark premise with humour and a great look at family life in America. The show ran for 5 seasons and is often cited as having one of the greatest series finales ever produced (something I very much agree). Get the chance, watch it! No disappointments there!
Blog for the day complete. I've stuck Pendulum's 'Immersion' album on to get the groove going!
See you all on the flip side,
Tward
