Good evening,
As I sit here, procrastinating, I have been pondering whether most people are complete tools. I think it is true so yeah. That is all tonight.
Thanks.

Slumdog Millionaire
Wow,
That is the word I would use to describe this brilliant piece of film. I would also use inspiring, heart wrenching, unbelievable, hilarious and exhilarating.
I can only now fully comprehend why it was nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award. It should definitely win.
'Slumdog Millionaire' was an inspiring story of a young boy triumphing against all odds and winning everything he ever dreamed of and more. It follows the character of Jamal, a Mumbai teen who grew up in the slums, and after a tormenting series of events, ends up on the Indian version of 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire', where he does suprisingly well, even according to himself.
This film triumphs and succeeds in everything it tries to do. It shows that complexity of family love and also the strength of true love. It shows true hardship and loss, but also how people can still go on and survive.
Dev Patel, who plays Jamal, in my opinion did a fantastic job. He had an extremely difficult and complex role to convey, but he did it with perfect ease. Dev Patel is well known from his role of the tv series 'Skins', a show that I have previously blogged about. He played Anwar. After seeing 'Slumdog Millionaire' though I have gained a whole new level of respct fo him as an actor and he has managd to make it onto my list of perfect film men, along with James McAvoy and Ralph Fiennes.
My favourite part of this film was the very last scene. It made the film even better for me, and gave it an edge that is not very common. I can reveal it as it does not really tell you anything about the outcome. The film ends with a Bollywood dance scene, something that every Indian movie should have. It was a classic ending, that had me applauding and embarressing myself in front of the two old ladies who were the only people in the cinema other than myself and my friend Rebecca. Dev Patel, in my opinion is a fabulous dancer and he has inspired me to find a place where I can learn to dance like that. It was fan-bloody-tastic to be frank and a little bogany.
I highly recommend this film to everyone, as it has something for everyone. That cannot be said for most films. The only one I would say that abuot would be 'Forrest Gump', my favourite film of all time. You will be laughing, then crying, then wriggling in anticipation, then wanting to throw your popcorn at the screen. This film truely brings everything you would ever want in a film.
GO OUT NOW AND SEE 'SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE'.
YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

Steve Tyler
'Sup dudes and dudettes,
I know it has been an eternity since my last post and I know that you are currently rocking back and forth in a corner mourning the loss of my thoughts, but never fear, I have returned.
Today I will be discussing how the Steve Tyler is, in fact, the sexiest man alive. I do not know why this has not be realised by the entire of the world's population, it is obvious when looking at him doing his thing that he is almost orgasmic. His thing for those who do not know and are therefore stupid is being the lead singer of Aerosmith. He is known for his huge mouth and his awesome voice/scream.
Steve Tyler is rock itself, no one else can do what he does. I just want this to be known. IfI could have my way with him I would without hesitation.
He is currentlywriting an autobiography and it will be on my must-read list I am sure, along with classics such as Pride and Prejudice, Wuthering Heights and my favourite, The Chosen, which will most definitely be discussed at a later date.
So that is all I have to say.
