Before you send me a message about anything that offends you, please read this: I will no longer be giving anonymous messages/questions the time of day because it is very cowardly to hide behind it. From now on, any message I receive from anonymous will be deleted without reading, so if you are too afraid to let me see who you are, do not waste your time, whatever you have to say will fall on deaf ears (or eyes). About me: I am a British film maker, I write and I direct, I am in University and I have a very low opinion of myself but I just carry on because we only get one life and it's too fucking short to quit. In the words of Hank Moody (Californication): "I probably won't go down in history, but I will go down on your sister". My main love is film, obviously, but I love all art forms, including literature and music, as long as it was made for the love of the art and not for money, I love animals, I love both natural and human history, I love anthropology, I love philosophy, I love Formula 1, I love to regularly binge drink, I love the small handful of friends I have, and I love science, logic and reason. I am an Atheist who doesn't just disbelieve in any of the tens of thousands of Gods invented by man over the years, but I also do not believe in the afterlife (heaven and hell, ghosts or reincarnation, etc), fairies, psychics, horoscopes, Santa Claus, auras, alternative medicine/healing, or any other bullshit I occasionally rant about. But I will always stand up for an individual's right to believe whatever they want, as long as their beliefs don't negatively impact anyone elses lives. But in the words of George Gershwin, "The things that you're liable to read in the Bible / It ain't necessarily so" I am a single, straight man who rarely has any luck with the ladies and that depresses me sometimes. I firmly stand up for animal rights, gay rights, women's rights, and I firmly stand against prejudice and discrimination of gender, sexuality, colour, nationality, religion or disability, as well as the poaching and/or torture of animals. Can't you people just put aside your bullshit, intolerant, ignorant views, educate yourselves and stop being such cunts? The main thing you have to understand about this blog is that, every worded post I make, comes totally from myself, and from the heart, I often don't mean to offend, but sometimes I have to, just to get my point across, but I never go out to offend those who are, themselves, not offensive. I stand up for fair rights and liberties, and if I feel someone or something is taking those away from people, I will make a point. The only reason I want to be famous is so I can try to get people to listen to me and help them learn the true path to true human happiness and equality, and that path is simple; don't be a cunt. But don't consider me a dirty hippie twat, as much as I care for people's rights as a whole, I generally don't care for the individuals themselves (which is probably why I only have a handful of friends), I don't give a shit about people living in harmony together, I just want polite tolerance.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
If you go on YouTube you can find a video Robert Rodriguez (Director of From Dusk Til Dawn, Sin City, etc) doing something called the 10 minute film school. Where he taught a class of aspiring filmmakers apparently everything about film in 10 minutes (he did not succeed, he taught them next to nothing about film), during the 10 minute session of rapidly skating over everything there is to film making, he said something along the lines of “People are born creative or technical, but creative people can become technical, technical people can never be creative”.
This, readers, is bullshit.

30 Day Movie Challenge: Day 02 - The Last Movie You Watched
The Tree of Life - Such a beautiful film, it’s basically a piece of art, and it moved me.
But I regret watching it just before I went to bed because it inflamed my mind and imagination too much so I couldn’t sleep. That’s how good it is.
