Milhouse Strikes Again!

Yes it's true.

Once again I continue the quest of acting a total arse for the public's amusement.

And I have to say; it feels good to be back to normal.

I didn't tell you yesterday, but we were assigned into groups of 6 to make a short film to be shot & screened today.

Being the brand new hard-working student I never was, I spent the whole of last evening writing a draft script for the idea in mind.

The rules were that it should be 1-3 mins long and had to be edited only on camera, which meant everything had to be shot in sequence - as some of you may be aware, this a potential disaster just waiting to happen.

Of yeah, and as well as shooting it, we had to act in it too.

This was going to be pretty embarrassing.

Today we re-wrote it, re-hearsed it and shot everything in the space of 3 hours.
But the outcome is actually a pretty funny student sketch.

It's called 'Pride & Prejudice... IN SPACE! (The DVD featurette)'.

Yeah I know it's stupid, but hey it's okay because we're students.
We're meant to be idiotic.

The intension was to make a spoof 'mock-u-mentory' the likes of Spinal Tap about the making of a really crap Hollywood sequel to a British classic.

As of course, it was a complete piss-take on the shoddy DVD extras that such films have, for the film to work, everything had to be completely over the top and purposely shit.

I think we managed to pass this off pretty well!

To wrap the plot up as short as possible, it features irrelevant fake interviews with the crew and bizarre fake 'behind-the-scenes' clips of how the film goes totally tits up (even though it remains to be the most successful British film ever).

The extensive budget of the remake meant that the boisterous & idiotic Director (who doesn't know anything about the original storey) shoots everything on Green Screen but only uses 1 living, breathing actor (who's actually crap) and two CGI technicians (holding sock puppets to represent the missing characters) - One of which who can't get her head round the fact that her performance won't be actually seen, and the other who doesn't know how tall her sock puppet is supposed to be (resulting in her stretching up and down throughout the whole of filming).

I play the insanely shy film's writer, Chris Timmid (gettit!) who although he try's his best to help his absolutely murdered script from falling to the ground, is quite literally pushed around the whole time by the director.

In the end, the Diva-like Technician storms off the set & I finally throw a total sick one, shouting my head off at the fact everything's going wrong and punch the camera.

I guess you've gotta see it really but it's a real joke to watch.

You can imagine how inevitably red my face went when the rest of the class watched it.
I can't help it.

I know I look like an idiot on film but an over-the-top attitude to these situations is always better than none at all I always say.

If I can, (and I mean if) I'd love to stick it on here for you to see. Along with my head bashing stunt.

Anyway,

How are all you Ravensbourne students getting on BTW?
Blake's my only contact with you fellaz.
Does anyone know why he calls it Racodac thou?

I've gotta write a little section about Blake now because I think I owe it to him for making me laugh so much right now. I'm in the library and it's killing me trying to keep quiet.
It's the giggle loop all over again.

Everyone you have to see this it's just pure comic genius. I haven't cracked up so hard in ages.
I wish I saw it earlier thou. Read along with the music. If you know Queen like I do, you'll appreciate this. Did the bus thing really happen?

You remember me talking about the Greek beauty Natalie and how quiet she is?
Well forget that. I've managed to find...

THE SHYEST HUMAN IN THE WORLD!

I'm not kidding, it's actually quite scary how coy this person is.

It's quite possible that she was the soul inspiration for one of the 7 dwarfs.

She's Japanese, but in the whole 4 weeks at college she not shown an ounce of emotion, she seems to have a real attraction to the floor tiles (that or she has no neck), she hasn't taken part in any social activity whatsoever, I have no idea what her name is, I've no idea of her eye colour (yes girls, I do look!) ... hell, I don't even know what she sounds like, and she was in our film group of 6! (She played the sock puppet because she didn't want to do anything else - I know this because she nodded to me)

It's amazing... quite peculiar.

I'm thinking that one day she'll decide that being shy it's not as fun as she previously thought and without warning she'll spontaneously morph in to Johnny Bravo.
Or something like that.

I girl just waved too me again just now. Why are they tormenting me!

Once again, I've had no food today as I woke up too late to make lunch.
I feel its time too go home early and scoff something for a change.

Despite my self-starvation the past two days, I have successfully eaten a huge amount more than I'm used to.
This is all for a vain attempt to get a bit more bulk on this skeleton of mine.

At the moment, I found people in the street mistake me for Kate Moss's sibling too many times.

It's funny though. Whilst everyone else is trying to lose all this obese weight because they ate too many party rings as a child, I'm doing the exact opposite.

I guess I always was different though.


Catch ya later folks.


Blake, those card-swiping doors?... I totally sympathize with ya!
You're websites down at the moment. Thought you should know.
And BTW it's an arrestable offence to shoot photos in the underground... Biggup Elliot!

Collet, I think a toast to Superman would be very respectful indeed! Just make sure it's done tastefully. Perhaps a Superman sponge cake would do?

Everyone, I hope all these links i've been doing are well recieved?
