really loving jeff buckley right now. thinking he might be the one to finally break my musical dry patch.
Jeff Buckley – Lover, You Should’ve Come Over
so random you saying that man, was listening to that song literally 2 minutes ago.

How the hell
do the women get so many followers on here. S’crazy.
Lighthouse
Season 6 of Lost is so so hit and miss. Sometimes it gets it right (The Substitute) sometimes it gets it horribly wrong (What Kate Does) and sometimes it lands somewhere in the middle (LA X) and Lighthouse falls in the last category. While not a terrible episode, there’s plenty of things that pissed me off. To summarise: Flashsideways I’m not a fan of these, at all. Although the last...

You know what I like about tumblr
it reminds me of the days when my girlfriend used to go “mmm I feel like re-doing my myspace”. Facebook is pretty lame that way, at least this thing lets you put a bit of a personal touch on it.
Why Rob Zombie got Michael Myers completely wrong.
I watched Rob Zombie’s Halloween II today. I feel pretty disappointed. I liked the surreal aspects of it like the trippy dream sequences. Malcolm McDowell and Brad Dourif make great Dr. Loomis’s and Sherrif Brackett’s respectively. As a whole the film has some cool imagery and ideas, it’s definitely the boldest and most experimental Halloween film to date but Zombie has...
"And the award goes to..." My Oscar predictions.
Ah yes. My favourite time of year again! I’ve split these into three categories. Who will win is who I think will ultimately walk away with the award on the night. Who I want to win is who I think truly deserves the Oscar and In a perfect world shows who I would love to see win but realistically may not stand much of a chance. I’ve only included the main categories, I think Avatar...

The Substitute
Just watched The Substitute, the third (or fourth if you count LA X as two) episode of Lost’s Final Season (Sniff). Fuck me the show has well and truly got its groove back. It always seems this slot in the season is reserved for a special episode. This one has got to be one of my favourite episodes ever though im sure.
Things I loved:
- The flying POV of the Smoke Monster. Anything that...
What Arcade Fire sound like...
It’s like the world is the on the brink of total apocalypse and then suddenly everyone is saved. The earths population then simultaneously erupt into joyous and emotional singing.
(Skateboard)
I’ve been thinking a lot about an idea i’ve had recently. An idea for a documentary on skateboarding. I don’t skate but that world has always been in my consciousness. I’ve seen how skateboarding effects people, how some would literally risk their life for it. I’ve always found these people fascinating, I guess I relate to it what with my passion for films and...
"You are a god among insects. Never let anyone...
I started watching Heroes recently. It’s pretty cool. I just watched X-Men 2 with Jess, it’s always been one of my favourite comic book movies. I guess Heroes is the closest we’ll get to a TV version of X-Men which I suppose is one of the reasons I enjoy it, even if some of the characters aren’t as engaging as those found in the pages of a Marvel comic book and will never...
