It's Friday night and I'm in my room, alone. This could probably only happen off term time. Usually by now I would be either a) getting ready to go out, or b) getting ready to go out whilst drinking. Hopefully the latter. But as I'm in and bored, a long post may have to do.
Me and Suzy (or Suzy and I if you prefer the proper English) are doing the Die Hard trilogy on DVD. We're going to watch the third, and second best film of the three in my opinion, tomorrow night. Hopefully after this I can convince her to watch the Beverley Hills Cop trilogy. Apparantly she doesn't like Eddie Murphy. I would agree if you didn't take into account a lot of his 80's movies, BHC, 48Hrs, Trading Places, etc. Maybe we could do other great trilogies/films and their sequels over the next few weeks? They could include the Alien quadrilogy, the Indiana Jones trilogy, the Dollars trilogy, the Halloween series, Star Wars and its sequels/prequels, and maybe the Rocky series?
I'm currently re-drafting my creative writing portfolio, which includes the beginning of a Coen Brothers-style thriller script entitled, 'The Girl from the North Country' (yes, after the Bob Dylan song), a TV comedy script, some poems, and a short story. I also included the beginning of a Michael Mann-inspired crime script which I named 'Held Up', which is retrospect is a shit title. Maybe I will use the beginning of this in another idea I have for a feature-length script about a photographer, obsession, love, and double-identities. 'An Affair Through A Lens' is inspired by films; The Passenger (dir. Michelangelo Antonioni, 1975), Vertigo (dir. Alfred Hitchcock, 1958), and The Element of Crime (dir. Lars Von Trier, 1984).
By the way, the posted photograph was taken a couple of weeks ago, I haven't got my camera on me at the moment.
