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.

Cap’n Seany’s The Dark Knight Rises Review (as if anyone cares what I think)
I’ve just got back from watching it. First and foremost, I can only say, Jesus Fucking Christ it’s awesome! From the thrilling action sequences to the masterpiece of a score by Hans Zimmer to the twists and turns of the brilliantly written story, it truly is a fantastic end to The Dark Knight Trilogy. Christian Bale gives a great performance as a broken Bruce Wayne and really makes you experience the pain he goes through. Tom Hardy’s Bane is thankfully much better than the joke of a character we saw in Batman & Robin, here he is both highly intelligent and his strength does not come from Venom, but from himself.
Selina Kyle, played by Anne Hathaway, is also a refreshingly good strong female main character in an, up until now, male dominated series, and the best part about her, for me, is that the word “Catwoman” is never mentioned. Michael Caine gives a heartfelt, if short, performance of Alfred which is incredibly moving, however, I would have like to have seen more of him. Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), is his usual smart, witty self, and Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman) seems to be a lot more frail than he used to be, as Murtaugh would put it, “He’s getting too old for this shit”.
I hoped John Blake (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Miranda Tate (Marion Cotillard) to have more of a ground-breaking performance, given the fact that [spoilers], but unfortunately they didn’t really blow my mind. As I stated earlier, I think the soundtrack is phenomenal, Hans Zimmer really outdid himself, and the general sound-mixing is flawless. As well as the sound, the whole film looks beautiful, with superb shots, unfortunately, I live nowhere near an IMAX so I can’t know for sure, but I assume the IMAX shots are truly stunning.
So, in summary, I think The Dark Knight Rises is absolutely amazing, but, is it as good as The Dark Knight? I don’t think so to be honest; as brilliant as it is, there’s just something about TDK that just makes it flawless, whereas TDKR doesn’t have that something. That being said I think that it is the best end, there could have been, to an amazing trilogy and every one of you needs to see it. I now look forward to the Blu-Ray release.

In preparation for tomorrow’s The Dark Knight Rises release, I would like to share this amazing Batman scene from an episode of Shooting Stars.

Booked tickets to see TDKR
Got the acoustic sweet spot.
So excited I feel an obligation to repress it.
Scrolling through the “film” tag of Tumblr and seeing about 80% of posts are related to Batman.
Why?
BECAUSE IT’S A WEEK TOMORROW THAT’S WHY MOTHERFUCKERS!!!
So excited I can’t even express it.
