Ack.

I'm trying to write one side of A4 to Working Title films as part of my application for their training scheme. Three people will be chosen, I imagine millions will be applying. Millions of people with more experience than me (I have none in the film industry. I do however believe I've probably seen more Errol Flynn films than anyone else applying).

So this begs the question: How do you explain how much you love something, why you love it and why this would make you perfect to continue the tradition of great British flicks? I could be fucking fantastic at making films but how do I persuade Working Title of this?

I'm so tired of being in limbo like this. I want to close my eyes and fast-forward fifty years to retirement. Of course, the government has been so crap with pensions that I won't have a pension to retire to and so will have to keep working until the day I drop dead. Great.

Also, Revolved is fucking fabulous. I'm not a huge fan of mash-ups although I loved some of the ones on DavidBowie.net during their mash-up competition. I can't wait till George's birthday for the rest of them- they look like they'll be fabulous. I like Rush to Love, cos although I hate Chris Martin's whiny schoolboy voice, the riff to 'God Put A Smile On Your Face' is pretty great.

Ah well, off to try and persuade WT that I'm perfect. Fuck. I mean, if I couldn't persuade Warner Music that I was perfect for their grad scheme, what chance do I have?

BAFTAS

OMG OMG

Martin Scorsese's The Aviator won Best Picture at the BAFTAs. I'm so fucking proud of him. Shit Jude Law as Flynn cameos not withstanding, this was another beautiful film in a long list of beautiful films and a long-overdue award. Good man, great director, well deserved.

Go you, Marty!
