I didn’t realise the extent to how constant and stretched out the actual assault on her was (The link above goes to the police report on the Chris Brown/Rihanna incident).
I’d been hearing the whole grammy fiasco and thinking, yeah he’s a horrible woman beater, but people are giving him more press and publicity than he’s worth. Any kind of assault on a helpless victim,...

Me: Why is it that people in general can be such lechers?
Void: ...
Me: You don't know what a Lecher is?
Void: ...
Me: It's like half the people you'll ever know, will only ever have you cross their mind when they NEED something. Not ever will you just get a "hello let's grab a coffee sometime"
Void: ...
Me: Sure I know you don't care... but you're a good listener, you know what I mean?
Void: ...
Me: Yeah, I have no friends...

WatchSpec Music Video I did for Kavinsky’s Nightcall from the Drive SDTK.
Had an idea, and the urge to do a little project before the end of the year, and so the stars aligned for this particular kernel. Somehow I suddenly got the really strong idea in my head to do a video for this song while listening to it on a train somewhere. Here’s to just going for it!

Sean Connery Wearing a Wedding Dress
This photo of Sean Connery wearing a wedding dress was taken in 1974 on the set of Zardoz. I have no clue what else to add here. Speechless.
Audrey Hepburn Takes Her Baby Deer to the...
This photo of Audrey Hepburn going shopping with a baby deer (fun fact: the pet’s name is Ip, short for Pippin) was taken by Bob Willoughby, who met her shortly after she arrived in Hollywood in 1953 and continued to shoot her for over a decade.

Stanley Kubrick Taking a Photo of Himself, His...
This shot was taken on the set of The Shining, easily one of the most frightening movies I’ve ever seen. Next to Stanley Kubrick is his daughter Vivian and the guy out of focus is of course Jack Nicholson.

WatchRANDOM 11 Japanese Trailer: The 2nd Official trailer for my feature film, which I think really has a nice sense of mystery to it, and doesn’t give much away in terms of story and all, which hopefully people appreciate. There is a more exposition in the 1st UK trailer, so it’s nice to have best of both worlds. Hope you enjoy it too, and if so, do spread it round and share! ^_^

WatchParis 60 directed by Tony Sebastian Ukpo: Now available to watch for free is what was to become my first feature length film. My swan song film of sorts to the French New Wave films of the 1960s and particularly Jean-Luc Godard, who was and continues to be a great influence on me and my work. I say swan song, because I was going through a heavy period of making films of a similar style and...

Me: had a dream bout @sarahksilverman
Void: ...
Me: NO! Not THAT kind of dream, sheesh
Void: ...
Me: anyway, i got up in the middle of the night thinking, "i have to write a film where she says that line"
Void: ...
Me: ... "what line is that?" you say? Well, she's talking with someone who i can only assume to be her kid, and the kid asks her why his dad (her husband), gets so much more work than she does. And she says "it's cuz i'm a funny jewish woman with no boundaries, honey"
Void: ...
Me: yeah, when i finally got up in the morning, it didn't sound so earth shattering either, but hey! It could grow on you, right?

How Michael Bay beat the Credit Crunch: a small...
Let me start this by saying…perhaps what not many able bodied film lover is able to say without feeling like they are “selling out”… I actually have a lot of respect for Michael Bay. That’s right, you DID read that correctly. Without spending too much time on the subject, Bay has always been a master of the big budget, action blockbuster, and for the most part, his...
