Its been a while since i blogged - mostly real life catching up with me, and the fact that college has finished. I've been catching up on sleep and haven't been able to bring myself to do much. But today i went onto a friends blog and totally got inspired to start blogging again.
So this is going to be a blog mostly about films, because i got a lot to say!
Today's title comes from The Runaways song Cherry Bomb I've fallen in love with the film The Runaways soundtrack, and can't wait for it to come out here in the UK. I'm looking forward to seeing how Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart manage the roles of Cherie and Joan, because they are such characters, who had such an impact on music as we know it. I have high hopes though!
Another film I'm looking forward to seeing is The Last Airbender. I used to watch the cartoon series on Nickelodeon, and am interested to see how the director deals with the characters and the special effects. I admit, i always wanted to be able to control the elements, and me being a swimmer, specially water - so i hope that the 'bending' is done well. And lets face it - its a guilty pleasure film! some of the pre released posters and artwork look pretty cool too.
I've been on a bit of a film watching spree over this past week - mainly because there has been very little on the TV. I watched Batman Begins the other day and enjoyed it so much. The whole superhero genre of film is so interesting and i like how so much is linked together when you look deeper. Like because Superman and Batman are DC comics Gotham and Metropolis are so connected and polar opposites of each other. It also made me want to watch Smallville! I am loving the new series, mainly because of the hints of Chloe and Oliver relationship (which i know happens, due to
the online spoilers, even though we haven't got that far in the series here in the UK). Justin Hartley (Oliver Queen) is my new guilty pleasure - he is soo attractive!
But before this changes into a blog of me sounding like a crazed teenage girl, lets move swiftly on! Another reason i wanted to blog tonight was because i just go back from my brother's swimming training, and i have a lot to say about it!
Being a swimming coach watching someone else coaching can be absolutely infuriating. I watch the coaches, which includes a certain Bob, who you might recall from an earlier blog, and am so frustrated by what they do. You wonder why they miss so much, and if they take it seriously. Last week i watched my brother swim the whole session with his fingers spread wide apart, like jazz hands, and not once did any of the coaches say anything. sounds pretty mundane, but when you know what they are meant to be doing it just gets frustrating! Today Bob was juggling on poolside, and ignoring the swimmers. What kind of role model is that? Not to mention, a swimming pool is a dangerous place. Course, I'm annoyed at Bob for a whole host of reasons at the moment. when he saw me today he commented that i was all dressed up, and looked nice. Sounds innocent, no. Except the last couple of times I've seen him he has said exactly that. And he stares. a lot. And he is ten years older than me. It creeps me out.
anyway, enough of my bitching. I'm going to Southampton University tomorrow for a tour, and so will blog about my experiences when i get back!
