The Film Riot

Those loveable guys behind the Thursday podcast for Revision 3, Film Riot brings you the best DIY filmmaking tips to help you do movie, video and film special effects on the cheap. It's not just how-to though. Delivered by real film makers, the show is interesting, entertaining, and wrapped in a hilarious easy to swallow coating. their Youtube channel is HERE and the iTunes Podcast is HERE.

Anyway, yesterday i saw that Timmy Allen (@Timmy_Allen) had just left a "Tweet" so i decided to say hi and i asked him how he was doing, he simply replied with a I'm doing good, how are you, to which i told him i'd make a video for him, so i did.

Youtube Video HERE

As soon as it had finished processing i Tweeted Timmy the Youtube link and he and Ryan Connolly (@Ryan_Connolly) the host of Film Riot (@FilmRiot), watched it and, apparently loved it, because they then Tweeted the link to the video to all their followers, and later Josh Connolly (@Josh_Connolly) also tweeted it, since then i've gotten a few more Twitter followers and Youtube subscribers and "Friends".


So a few minutes ago i was checking the video and remembered the Statistics feature, i looked at it out of curiosity and it said Honours for this video #90 - Most Discussed (Today)) - People & Blogs - United Kingdom. I've never gotten on any Youtube lists so even though its number 90 i was still thrilled with it, i'm actually on the Videos page, under People & Blogs, Most Discussed. 


Thanks guys for the Tweets.

I am leaving...

This is a blog i wrote for a social network on February 1st

Yes folks, its true.

It wasn't an easy decision to make, i love this place but i need to find more time to do my own thing, and if i use the time i spend here on other things like, watching television, masturbating or even digging a hole, i could be great, and have a really deep hole.

The energy i've spent here could power a small British village for 10 years, and the time i've spent here could have been spent achieving a PHd in micro-biology.

As for my content,

I shall be deleting my videos one a week until they are all gone, thats 6 years and 4 weeks to delete all 316 videos, my blogs will be deleted one a week also, thats 2 years and 1 week for 103 blogs, and groups will just be closed.

My friends list,

First i shall un-friend the inactive users, then in 6 months i shall un-friend the people i just don't like, then after that, the 7 or so remaining users will get a PM from me notifying them of the date and time or their dismissal from my friend list, then once my friend list is finally empty i shall close my account here, FOREVER.

To my friends,

Friends, we've known each other for around 18 months now, and i have to say, your a motley bunch of rubins, yea i have no idea what that means, anyway, its been a roller coster ride the last 18 months, this place has made me happy, angry, sad, vengeful, tired, drunk, late for work, late for dates, hungry, blind, deaf and most recently, horny. But i feel its for the best that i close my front door and remove my door bell, and so all i have to say is this...

SUCKERS ;P

I wonnabe belligerent...

Yes yes yes, another whiny blog about the London Underground.

Today i had to push someone off a train to the platform, i was trying to get off the car, and so were others behind me, we were standing at the back of the train car and had a single sliding door to egress through, as it opened i statred to step off when this guy, who wasn't exactly small in the waist, tried to get on, and of course the idiots behind him saw him moving forward and decided to start moving forward, so you have a group trying to get off and a group trying to get on, at the same time, through a small door, i had to push the fat guy backwards off the train and back to the platform just so i could get off, let alone the people behind me, and of course i had to say something "For fuck sake let people off first you twat".

I get sick of ignorant bastards who can see there are people who want to get off a train, but decide that are more important and want to get on the train first.

This happens to me way to much for my liking, i'm usually pretty good about this sort of thing, but there is only so much a man can take, and so.

I want to be belligerent, rude, obnoxious and if necessary, sociopathic, pushing, punching, kicking and screaming at people to "get the fuck outta my way".

The most basic of etiquette is, let people off first, and lets face it, its the logical way to do it, but, and i suspect, its all about the seats, the impatient wankers want to sit down, and in doing so will stop people from getting off the bloody train to do it, personally i believe that it should be legal to hit people, or punch in the face, who try to get on the train before letting people off.

Also those that huddle around the doors and block people form moving off the platform.

Work complaints

A friend of mine pointed out a comment on facebook, one of his mates mentioned the British Airways strike, their complaining about working condictions, another friend of his said in reply, they should talk to the British Army when they get back from Afganistan.

By that logic on one can complain about their work until we discover what is in fact the worst job on Earth, and then and only then can they complain about there job.

Personally, i work in a repetitively tedious job, i've mentioned it before in other blogs, but basically i work from 7pm to 7am in an empty building in the most heavily CCTV'd area in the world, and i do security, so my job is just plain boring, what i hate about it is the travel involved, i hate comuting (READ) buses are fine but the London Underground (Subway) or the Tube if you like is the fucking worst, and because of the 2012 Olympics its become so much worse, Billions of pounds to modernise the system for the influx of spectators due to be in the capital, fact is, its a Victorian system, building started on 10 January 1863, so its 147 years old, it doesn't have the infrastructure to work effectively with just Londoners using it.

A little off topic, sorry, but i hate the London Underground, but now there are delays and whole stations being shut down, bastards.

Knowing that someone somewhere has a worse job then you, and in the currect state of unemployment, is it ok to complain about your job, is it a right or should we have a little more repect for those in a not so great situation?

Of course i think most of us want to work, but like in England, their are people, if you can call them that, who would rather sit on their arses watching the Jeremy Kyle Show, are rather be on the Jeremy Kyle Show, filled with Chav's and low lifes, its trash TV, the Government gives these fucktards benefits because their just to damned lazy to get a job, they would say "Why get a job when i can get beneifits, people who work for a living are just idiots" of course if no one worked, no taxes would get paid, and on one would get benefits, these are people who either dropped out of school or got pregant before leaving school. White Trash.

Personally i think with fucktard low lifes like them around, we all have the right to complain about our jobs, and remember Your taxes pay their benefits.
