Thursday saw the (semi) annual EUCC film night. The usual banter was to be had, and the combination of Dave’s (The one with the busted collarbone) home cinema system, and our flat’s projector, meant a hired room became almost as good as a cinema.
Synopsis
This was the first film we watched. From what I could gather it was a film following riders from the southern hemisphere as they toured the North American downhill circuit. It was rubbish. All the courses were dull, and the dirt jumping consisted of guys rolling BMX jumps. Oh, no, sorry, there was one guy who could do 5 (We counted) different tricks. He was described by the other riders as ‘really good at jumps’!
New World Disorder VII – Flying High Again
This was our second film. It was brilliant. The previous NWD film seemed to be a bit duller than their previous creations, but this one was way back up there. The quality of the riding, the locations, and of course the filming were top notch. Some stuff was just sick, lots of new stuff that I had only previously seen done on a BMX. The highlight is Robbie Bourdon’s section at the end, everyone was looking forward to it, and wasn’t disappointed.
Banter can be found on the EUCC website.
I meant to post about this short animated CGI film a few weeks ago, but was too busy with other work.
Clik Clak is a short film about robots who communicate through reverse-onomatopoeia (actions that make words). Is very amusing, and a masterpiece of small-scale animation.
Not had a blog post for a wee while so going to get some random stuff here:
For a change Scotland won the rugby! We actually bet the French in the 6 nations! The boys did real well, although their form did start to fade a bit in the second half. Thanks to the wonders of the internet I got to watch the game at work. 20-16 was the final score. Video highlights can be seen at the BBC Sport site. (Picture from BBC sport website).
After the pub (To celebrate the win in the rugby) I went to the cinema with some of the guys from work. We went to see Walk The Line at the fabulous Cameo Cinema. I really like the work of Johnny Cash, and this film was an excellent dramatisation of his life. I challenge you not to tap your feet during all the musical numbers!
Finally, I have updated the comments system on my blog. I can now ban IP addresses of those who keep posting unwanted messages, or those with consistently bad language. That’ll keep certain bike shop employees from misusing the system! You know who you are guys!
