Done and Done

So I'm finally done for the year and figured I should write some stuff up about things. The movie itself I'm fairly happy with, even if it is disjointed, makes no sense whatsoever, and has parts which are totally nonsensical unless you know the back story. It does have some pretty cool gore effects, and they are always nice. Mostly actual fake blood but a couple CG gunshots created by someone with the time, ability, and inclination to do it for me which was pretty cool. As expected Jack completly stole the show, whether he actually had much to do with the plot or not, but all the cast played their parts well enough, I even believe some of them understood their characters better than I did and I actually learned about their characters from them. So yeah, movies are a team effort, treat your cast and crew well, they are what makes the movie.

The night itself wasn't great, but it wasn't that bad. Photographer didn't show up so I have no photos. We actually had to start clapping to remind the audience they should clap. It's just something you should know to do y'know, but in a way, it's every single person's fault. Only one person needs to start.

The day of the screening was actually pretty insane as well just before the screening. I was finished the actual movie but I was still trying to do a thousand things at once before I finally broke down and went insane. That'll teach me to trust no-one else to do the compilation tape and insist on fixing all the weird technical problems myself.


Incidentally I finally decided to create that damn myspace account I've been putting off doing. The reason I've been putting off doing it is because everything I've experienced of myspace leads me to believe it's a poorly coded piece of crap of a website that consists mostly of large amounts of bloat, in fact pieces of bloat trying to outbloat each other. Actually signing up for an account has led me to realise that it's not that bad, it's actually much much worse. The interface is crap, the friends system is buggy, the extended network makes no sense, it's nigh on impossible to hide certain pieces of information, the search system is impossible to use, the date of birth system is screwed to hell, the music is a bloody nuiscance to turn on and off, and most of the themes, including the deafault one, are utter crap, especially when mixed in with all the adds. It also allows users to customise stuff and add their own html, and most of them don't know what they are doing and make the site into an even bigger mess. I also believe it may be a security risk but I don't know much about that so I'll let it off on that count. In short it's one of the the most poorly designed websites I have ever had the mispleasure of visiting, but people insist on using it so I guess I'm going back. Bebo is one hell of a lot better, and I could never really be bothered with that either. I forsee much pain in my future.
