It was a very entertaining Aardvark

...three bumps and a squirt and it was all over for that occasion...

Ahh...have just been watching 'Before Sunrise' from 1994 with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, beautiful film about how a couple just meet on a train and spend one intense night together just walking around Vienna and finding out about each other before he has to fly back to the states the next day...so it can be done, they fell in love but made no firm arrangements to meet up again...true romance.

Had my reply back from advertising standards people today...I will precis the reply, basically it says that I am the only person who has complained about the Kellogs Fruit n Fibre advert which indicates that 'viewers generally are not interpreting the material in the same way as yourself'. Its actually quite a funny letter (irony plays a large part) and i might just start complaining about other ads just to see what letter they send out...what about the 'Charmin' adverts, bears do not use toilet roll so it is displaying a false picture of bear domesticity. That should do the trick.

Its BAFTA night tonight so i shall don the old evening suit and sit with a nice bottle of wine to cheer the Brit films on. 'Vera Drake' should do well but we shall have to see what the panel have come up with. I always thought about making some arty world cinema films and i used to write the ideas dow, heres a couple...the first film I would make is 'A Toothbrush for Anya", it tells the story of a mothers trek from North to South Poland in search of a 'Wisdom Reach' toothbrush that she has seen in a westernized advert. The film would be shot in a grainy black and white and would feature industrial imagery, angst ridden faces and very little dialogue. The film ends with the mother buying her holy grail of toothbrushes but then she gets run over by a depressed taxi driver who is trying to kill himself and as Anya the little girl runs toward the dead mother she herself gets trampled by a hoard of people waiting for the bread shop to open. Their lifeless bodies now left in a desolate empty street...fade to black.
The second film is 'The Crossing', this will be shot in extreme candy colour and feature a man standing at the edge of a Russian shoreline trying to figure how to get across to the other side. There will be no other actors in the film and the storyline will depend on what the actor wants to portray. He talks to himself about general things in life but we will never find out anything about him. At the end of the film he will collapse and die of Hypothermia and will be eaten by a pack of wolves who then swim across the lake, thus symbollically making the man reach his destination. No music...fade to black.
Well thats me in contention for Baftas next year then...

by the way, i'm sorry but i had to remove the chatterbox as it was causing too many 'pop-up' problems, i will try and find a less agressive alternative...

...It wasn't until Anthony got the fake fur wet that he realised muff diving wasn't all it was cracked up to be...
