Slow on the restart

Hey guys real sorry, been slow on the blogging lately, I really wanted to pick it back up but I have been filming or editing almost non stop for the last three months or so. Finally got some down time where its just gentle editing to do so I'm hoping to get back on the blogwaggon. What do you want to see me write about? Think im gonna do some news, american tv reviews/ recaps and maybe some behind the scenes stuff with me. Sorry nothing I have done has really been released all that well but check out the Eat Defeat live video I did, most of the rest of my stuff is either still in post or not mine to reveal to you lovely poeple, you will see it as soon as I can let you. Anyway, what do you think I should cover? Let me know!

Defiance and Castle

Its been a long week full of work and catching up. No filming done but lots of planning reading and writing. I haven't watched all that much for uni, its been more of a theoretical and practical week rather than reviewing. That being said the one film I did fully watch is exceptional, 24 Hour Photo, a heavy theoretical review of that is on the way. Television has been fantastic this week, for Castle! The best episode to date I think, I love Cap'n Mal but after the last episode Fillion has shown his best performance to date in this weeks Castle, it was stunning.

I watched Cougar town, New Girl, 2 Broke Girls, Sparticus and Arrow but the only particularly special thing to note is that Jamie Bamber ie. BSG's Baltar was a wicked villain in Arrow. The rest of my week has been taken up by watching and rewatching videos for the upcomming Xbox MMO and Syfy TV series Defiance. Words cannot describe how much I am looking forward to it.

Aside from theoretical papers and comics I have been reading Halo the Fall of Reach, I am really enjoting it, its making me more and more of a fan of Chief, who I never really cared for. My only problem with it is that I love the Reach game and I can in no way see it lining up but oh well.

Finally on the internet this week I got tweeted by Bear Mccreary, Defiance and Joe Keatinge (the writer of Morbius), out of these Mr Mccreary really made my day, genius!

If you want to know what comics I read check out this weeks CBT, thats me for the week, time to get on with more Shtako. Over and out!

Weekly Me News 03/02/2013

So I have been struggling to keep up with blog posts recently, this is partly because of the amount of uni work I have and partly because I do blogs for uni therefore something I enjoy has become a big part of work, a good thing but it kinda means all my blogging efforts are taken up by uni and I dont want to do blogs for everyone else :/ So to solve this a little I'm going to start doing weekly posts on sunday to sum up everything I have done, or remember doing, in the week including the things I have watched,played, listened to, read and the work I have been doing for uni!

I began University at Sheffield Hallam again this week doing all the courses I want, Narrative and Time,  Cinematography and Drama, so that should be fun..
.
Hehe
All my lectures were good, Im pretty intrigued by the narrative and time module and read "In the River of Consciousness" which talks about how sight and memory and consciousness can be split into discreet moments. Its mad stuff and delves into philosophy and neuroscience in ever more confusing theories but its a really interesting topic so I well up for the module this year! Drama was pretty basic, just inductions and stuff and cinematography was cancelled so we just read the briefs. For cinematography this week I have to start looking at and analysing colour in film and take a shot of St Pauls Tower in sheff.

I have played a lot of Halo 4 this week, I am working towards my KD ratio with a passion and loving the weekly spartan ops missions. I am filled with rage by war games even though I play it constantly, I hate boltshots, rocket launchers, sniper rifles, active camo and everyone...


I have been listening to.... not a lot, mostly the soundtracks to Cougar Town and Scrubs, god I love those shows and they have such good tunes! Check my bobolinthegobolin youtube if you want to see what I have been favouriting exactly. I watched a few Kubrick movies this week, The Shining and Clockwork Orange, both films I have studied and seen in the past, mad shit.... but amazing visually and interesting forms of storytelling. I wrote up a few notes as usual so I can turn it into work for my uni blogs (1 for cinematography and one for Drama). I  love both the films for different reasons, thinking of watching a few off Kubricks other films, I have seen 2001 and Full Metal Jacket but I am a little scared to watch Eyes Wide Shut.... I also caught up on Arrow this week which is a pretty good show however the recent episode with the fire guy... one of my friends hit the nail on the head when he said the character is a cross between Nolans Joker and Scarecrow... it was a little silly but oh well, gotta try these things.

So yeah a good week in general, I waited for my new camrea to be delivered to no avail, mon or tues hopefully :P
