My two favorite wikipedia lists

Many a student bases most of their essays upon it and all arguments are settled by it. Wikipedia is the fountain of all knowledge.
What I love wikipedia for is its gloriously random lists(also the 5 clicks to Jesus game)

Not this Jesus.

The two lists that are well and truly the best I feel are the list of people who have claimed to be Jesus and the list of people who have disappeared mysteriously.
Both of these lists are a must read for all procastinators.

Sunset, branches, leaves and perfect light

Got a bit snap happy the other night as the sun set and just started getting a bit too carried away with the whole silhouette malarkey but some shots are of interest. Pick a favourite and let me know.

Through the Viewfinder - second wave

A few shots I have taken over this weekend. Its very much trial and error at the moment but its great fun but I am pretty sure I look like a right fruit loop taking photos of inside a box.

Through the Viewfinder - The start

Here is the first of many Ttv shots that I am sure I will drown you with over the next while.
This shot is taken on my kitchen table and still has the shavings from the cardboard box I just cut a whole in for my dslr lens. I feel it ads an extra bit of vintage to the photo.
Will be taking more photos this weekend when it isn't bucketing down outside.

'Picture making'

I will be but in a Through the viewfinder way. Will be experimenting this weekend.

Strange how anchorage and linguistics work.
My current research is revolving around this very subject.

Exit Through The Gift Shop a Banksy film? - A view

Watched this the other day and really enjoyed it. A cracking film and edited by a man from Bristol, hard to critique.

The story of this MBW is annoying to say the least and I never grew to like the Thierry character which I guess is a great ploy by Banksy. There is some great footage of one of the most secretive styles of art that really lets you into the excitement and risk involved with it.

Of course we never get to see Banksy but we do get a lot more into his state of mind than I expected. Its really interesting to see his work shop area and all his drawings and ideas.

One of the artists that really caught my eye however was Zeus who as you can see below paints shadows. It looks incredible and yet is such a simple thing. 

Of course Thierry gets up and close to Zeus which is great but is obviously kinda annoying the guy.

Its a great film and I would highly recommend giving it a watch. Perhaps I would go as far as to say its worth 5 out of 5 but at numerous times I got so fed up with Thierry that it actually started to annoy me so we are talking more 4.6/5.

I would also like to point out

Just to rub salt into the wound this is what use to grace the car park space newly named 'negative one'. As far as I can see in the last three years the uni has created negative one spaces.

The genius of University of Ulster,Coleraine

Up north here we have a nightmare of a parking situation( I have heard it is similar in Jordanstown).
Many a day I spend my mornings driving around looking at the usually always empty disabled spots as I catch eyes with fellow carpark space hunters I can not understand why the University year on year get away with charging us for a failing parking system.
You can clearly see how they are currently sorting it out,thats one less space. Cracking work.

Disc 415

Saw this in a charity shop and really do not have a clue what is going on with it. No maker name and all i can see is its a digital camera that goes onto slightly smaller than cd disc? Anybody seen one before?

Polaroid Land Camera

I am now a proud owner of a land, I have plenty of polaroid cameras but no lands. It is everything modern/facebook photography is not. There is a large rubber handle for you to grip as you wrestle the film out and the instructions they of course are on sheets of tin. Its an amazing camera. Now the search for film begins.

The Town - a view

Went to see this last night and meh its alright your typical heist thriller bank robbery film where its ridiculous and they some how sneak out of places or survive with impossible odds and that should be the end of my review and I give it a 1/5 or 2/5 but then its DIRECTED BY BEN AFFLECK! Yea I know, rewind.
This film is incredible, if you realise it was made by BEN AFFLECK. There are people in it, stuff happens, theres a love story and even a car chase. Move over Bullitt.
5/5 maybe even 6/5.
Also it has got amazing reviews on rotten tomatoes....do not think so. The films average. A nice no brainier.

1010th tweet. #binaryday

As I sit munching down some lunch parked up in the now non-accessible short loans room I have been sent into a ponder. Perhaps its the slow paced jazz of the second season of Twin Peaks as I watch it for the first time perhaps its that lecture on Romanticism in Irish Film I just endured.
Lets go for the Twin Peaks for the meantime.
A rant
It is such a disgrace that in the short loan room in the LRC, Coleraine University of Ulster only staff are allowed or students if watching a film. The short loan room has been the home to the AGM for the UUC Film Society and holds the joy of browsing dvds, flicking through finding some gems of movies.
That is part of the fun is it not. Instead now you have to decide on what you want before getting into the now off limits short loan room but only if you are watching a film on one of the poor quality TV's available in the short loans room. I think there will be a strongly worded recommendation note placed into the recommendation box in the LRC regarding this.

A review
Just watched the first episode of the second season of Twin Peaks. Lynch has me again, I could actually just sit and watch this whole season right now if it wasnt for me only being able to loan it out from the LRC for 4 hours.
The soundtrack as I blogged about merely the other day is amazing. The plot is confusing, the acting decent but not incredible, the cinematography right from the get go has me tempted to copy and the crazyness, well thats in another league along with the Pie.
5/5 for the whole Tv show.

Great finds on 05/10/10 part 4

#nowplaying
Even after all those finds this is what I picked adam and the ants 'prince charming' with 'christian d'or' b-side and the David Lynch produced 'falling' with instrumental b-side by Julee Cruise,the theme tune from the rather splendid twin peaks

Great finds on 05/10/10 part 3

Who even knew this exsisted. From the karate kid part 2 soundtrack.
