Oh The Embarrassment!

by the_real_linda @ Friday, Feb. 01, 2008 - 20:25:01

Oh the embarrassment, I was going to post this yesterday but after I got in I slept for hours cause I ain't feeling good.

So anyways back to my embarrassment... in uni yesterday I got my mark back for the first draft of my script for a short film.

Well I was very worried because everyone else had a mark at the bottom and well, I didn't. Why didn't I? I was just about to ask when my lecturer asked to see me at the end... oh the bad thoughts that went through my head!

Firstly after Christmas I didn't know when to hand it in and he rang me and told me that I was over the due in date... yeah bad... but he gave me a day to get it in and he'd forget all about it as I told him I didn't know when it was meant to be in (never got the email with dates of hand-in-ness on, honest!) so I got it in... it had been done forever.

So we watched a few short films and I kept thinking 'Oh Geez! I've failed... I know it the script was awful and he won't even give me a mark!"

I saw him at the end and he said my script was really advanced. He asked how many drafts I had done. I told him the truth that I had been working on the story I based the script on for a year. It's a story that me and a friend were joking about once and I started writing it all down in a notebook, and the notebook ended up going everywhere with me. I mean I wrote during a Karaoke night... seriously!

I had wanted to turn the whole thing into a script for some time and saw this assignment as the perfect opportunity to see it a bit of it would work as a stand alone piece.

I asked him about the marking scheme and the marks are only an estimate for the final draft... but still I don't know why I didn't get a mark.

Guess I'll find out at the end of this semester.

Oh and am I the only one who makes a cup of coffee, forget about it, it gets cold and upset that I I didn't drink it, so I go and nuke it in the microwave?

Why do they give children recorders?! Argh! My sister is playing one downstairs and I'm attempting to watch a show I've been waiting a while to watch... and I can't... I'm sitting here with my speakers up loud trying to drown her out. She plays that Titanic song lovely tho!

Let it Snow

Yes here in Newcastle it is snowing... it looks lovely actually outside... I'm just worried for my sister coming home as the wind keeps picking up really hard. Anywhos I'm sorry for inflicting my mother on you all, lol... but I can't say no to her.

She tried to watch 'Cecil B. Demented' before and turned it off and refuses to watch the rest saying its awful. Guess no review on that then, lol. I personally really liked it especially Maggie Gylenhaal's performance as a satanist "Satan says you need more colour." LOL!

'The Entity'

This was the film that got me into horrors, a big fan of them like my daughter, which i am to blame. I think she watched 'Nightmare On Elm Street' when she was really young and its done her no harm. She's not aloud out through the day and she's locked up with chains... kidding! Does anyone remember 'People Under The Stairs', she watched that as well as a child. Bless. and 'Stephen King's It' she's never looked at clowns in the same way.

So anyway back to 'The Entity', i watched it when i was young teenager at a friends house and afterwards i had to walk home in the dark along a black path where there was lots of trees and bushes, scary indeed! The same thing happened after i first watched 'The Exorcist' at the same friends house.

'The Entity' felt like it could really happen and felt so real. When i got a vhs of it when my daughter was old enough to watch and the vhs never worked.

Eventually she went to bed tired of waiting for it to work. as soon as she left the room it worked, i told her the next morning that it worked fine again and so she sat down to watch it and it wouldn't work again with her there. she says it happened again at a sleep over with a different vhs when she was out the room at the bathroom it would work. Strange girl she is, but what do you expect she was born on 'Halloween'. Though it could be me, my other daughter was born of Friday the 13th.

'Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind"

"wonderful, profound and imaginative. Whatever you do don't forget to see this. A work of genius. memorable."

Well thats what the back of the dvd box says, i watched it about a year ago and i enjoyed it at the time. There was a good plot that had me watching intently all the way to the end.
