I'm Back . . . (but not really)

Hi everyone - boy I bet you thought you'd never see another post on this blog, eh? Well, had I been left to my own devices that probably would've been the case. However. I have been harassed (by someone I will not name, but would dearly like to) into posting something. I'm sorry to disappoint, but I'll not be returning to my quasi-philosophical mode; any posts I may write in the future are likely to be more down to earth, less deep, and shorter. (I heard that cheer)

So then, what have I been doing? Oh, just sitting around watching a lot of movies (not). Actually film school has been very odd and foreign, schedulewise (and many other wises as well) - we have weeks when we're trying to do 9 things at once and are running around like the proverbial fowl, while other weeks we have snot all to do.
My pet peeve at the moment: producers who don't turn up to production meetings. Cam ops, editors, arties - okay. Even directors now and then, I guess. But producers? Anyway. Enough of that.
It's really interesting to see the pack beginning to thin already - noting people that almost no one chooses to work with, and those who don't deign to turn up to even the compulsory sessions. Standing out won't be quite as difficult as I expected - but being the best will be one heck of a mission.

Just bought Tolkiens latest (and probably last) book - The Children of Hurin. Am looking forward to getting into it, but first I have to finish 'Jurassic Park' and 'Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell".

That's it from me this time. :-)
