I loveth when a plan doth come together !

Well there’s been some interesting information on various sights. The first is the script reaction to the Coen’s Remake of True Grit with Jeff Bridges (which I mentioned in an earlier blog) and it’s all good



Speaking of Jeff Bridges, someone with far too much time on there hands has re drafted the Big Lebowski Script in to a Shakespearean play. The Bard doth not abide!! My personal favourite quotes are “That rug, in faith, tied the room together, did it not?” and "I must protest; the Knave minds. This will not stand, this uncheck’d aggression;"

The next bit of news is that the A team Trailer has arrived with a mix of anticipation, happiness and a sense of doom.


Not news but a nice little article which is particularly suited to my Dad and his online rental list is this link. Never hire a DVD by name always check it’s the right one!


And finally, I follow this blog. John August wrote the screenplays for Corpse Bride and Big fish. He regularly gives tips and insight in to how Hollywood really works. Check out his article on how the Oscar Voting system works

I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered! My life is my own.

I have been very busy this week so I’ve not been able to update my blog. However found a few interesting articles. The first been the new picture of the A team. I have to admit I am slightly apprehensive about the film as the TV series in my opinion should never be touched. Just so they don’t destroy my fond memories of those Saturday evenings watching the A team and Robin of Sherwood. But hey it looks like it’s shaping up to a similar vision although I am not sure if it was such a good idea to try and make Liam Neeson’s look so much like George Peppard. However we all know the proof will be in the pudding. Fingers crossed it’s not another Miami Vice.



The second bit of news is that the Coen’s are remaking True Grit and that Jeff Bridges (Playing John Wayne’s Rooster), Matt Damon (As Roosters Side kick La Beouf) and Joss Brolin (As the bad guy Tom) are all set to star. Even Spielberg is sticking some cash in.

Following on from the Coen’s and including there next film serious man is this article highlighting the death of real drama in cinema and that the industry like to make films that fit in to a nice demographic box. I’ll not go in to detail as I won’t be able to do the article justice, but please read it here - http://www.filmcrusade.com/tough-sell/

When you’re doing this please ask yourself – do u need therapy?


And now after a bit of sadism you can relax with a bit of humour. Yes the following link is pictures of what Stormtrooper’s do on there days off. Pure genius and I wish I had time to waste to do this kind of thing http://www.virginmedia.com/movies/movieextras/top10s/stormtroopers-day-off.php?ssid=1
