More about film, and less on Tv

These days I watch mainly what I HAVE to watch and don't really have time to choose my films. I wonder why Richard made us watch Thelma and Luise and The Shawshank Redemption for this Monday and we didn't even mention them? I thought the story of the second one was so strong, and Morgan Freeman definitely contributed with that voice over! I was totally engaged from the very beginning he started talking. It made me think a lot how a simple device such as the voice over can give a new sence of the film and attract more viewers. My American flatmate and her mom like the Shawshank Redemption mainly because of Morgan Freeman' play.
By the way, I had a real difficulty choosing my favourite film. Is it Moulin Rouge (because I've watched it about 100 times and eventually know the songs by heart), or The Lion King (my favourite animation)? What are the criteria for deciding on that?......... I would have the same problem with a favourite song. I always arrange them in genre, year and so on, just because they are too many! I have to think of a Bulgarian movie that Andy would enjoy watching. But since I haven't watched any for a very long time, I need to ask my grandma to recommend one :)

And now let's talk about TV! I watch Heroes every single Tuesday via ovguide.com, where everything is posted after the premiere on Monday in the U.S. So here is the right time to mention how disappointed I am with the writers! There used to be some kind of family values in the show, a strong relationship between the Petrelli brothers which is now a big joke! I am ok with the Heroes becoming Villains, but every conflict needs to be stretched and not solved 10 minutes after it's been presented.

This week... or the last 3 weeks?

Anyway, I should start from somewhere! Off the top of my head, last Tuesday 2 men came to talk about Showlights, which seems very exciting! Or at least the people involved in the preparation. I would love to meet the guy who did the light opening for the Olympics in Beiging! So hopefully, we will all go and help in next year's event. Otherwise, the technical class is the hardest one for me! I need extra help and time on the camera :( But the editting is fun! I used Final Cut Pro for the first time (what a shame...) and felt that I am actually creating something. But of course... messy as I am, my end got lost somewhere... or I deleted it :) So now I can image how I make music videos in the future (after all those idle years spent on MTV and every possible music channel, I hope I've subconsciously learnt something!) Oh and the script writing class is great! In every class we use different exercises to unblock our creativity and sometimes it really works, though it's quite hard for me to 'think' at 9.30 in the morning :( At first I thought it's because of the age, but then I found an article that explains the whole weather influence on foreigners.... I still haven't adjusted to the lack of sun :(

Oh did I mention how I constantly get lost in searching for the right room? But since Paul, Charlotte and most of the other guys keep their phones OFF, I guess I'll be late quite often
