I've got no inspiration and I'm too lazy to translate other stuff I wrote, so in the first half of this post I'll just paste a project I made at the university for the English course.

I study journalism. The topic was Victim Stories in News and Films, and part of the task was:

2) Find a piece of news written or recorded in English (it can be a newspaper report, a TV news etc) which you think would be a good subject for a film. Post the news or link here, and:

a) explain your choice;
b) say what genre of film it would belong to;
c) mention at least 2 actors (Romanian or international) you would see starring in this film;
d) using at least 5 of the cinematic techniques (camera shot, lighting, and special effects) try to describe how you would film the scene;
e) suggest an appropriate soundtrack for this scene/film.

Here's what I came up with:

http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/12/27/man-shot-for-talking-during-benjamin-button-movie-screening/

a) It's badass and it's what everybody dreams of when someone talks during the movie

b) ACTION!

c) Arnold Schwarzenegger as the dude with the gun, that guy that played Screech in Saved By The Bell as the victim

d) This is complicated. As it almost always happens when a movie is inspired by reality, the facts will be twisted a lot; best example: The Pursuit of Happyness.
So here's my take on the scene: after an establishing shot of the cinema, which is filled with people, we fast-forward one hour.
The only light in the cinema is coming (obviously) from the screen. Benjamin Button is in the war right now, and there's ACTION! and EXPLOSIONS! and PEOPLE DYING!
The two guys in front of Ahnuld keep talking, despite the Governor's warning. We see his angry, menacing face in an extreme close-up; when the father bursts out laughing, our hero gets up, grabs a minigun (because there's no way in hell I'm going to put a lame weapon like a pistol or a shotgun in my movie!) and shoots the bastard.
In the head.
And gallons of blood and tiny pieces of brain and bone and meat spray the screen, which leads to a totally awesome effect - think about it, the black and white of the cinema and movie contrasting with the beautiful red blood... Awesome.
Then everybody starts screaming dumb things like „OH MY GOD!", so Arnold shoots them too. We see this scene through a POV shot, which is even more awesome, because it makes us feel that we're Arnold and we're killing the crowd.
After this, Arnold sits down and continues to watch the movie, much improved by the added gore on the screen.
A few seconds later, the cops and SWAT teams arrive. Arnold is again angry, so he grabs his PORTABLE NUKE LAUNCHER!!!! and says: Hasta la vista... baby!
Then he launches a NUKE!!! and kills them all (in slow-mo). The radiation instantly gives him MAGICAL POWERZ!!!!, so now he's stronger then all the superheroes ever invented and the monster from Cloverfield (he already is stronger than all the superheroes).

Artist's rendition of the events (using Powerpoint and Paint)

For the next two hours, Arnold destroys New York, just because he can.
The title of the movie is TOTAL ******' DESTRUCTION, which pretty much gives away the plot. So it's somewhere between a Roland Emmerich film, a Michael Bay film and Commando. But better, because it's my movie.
Also, the ending leaves the door open for a sequel.

e) You don't really need a soundtrack for a such a fantastic movie - the screams, the thundering explosions, the sounds of the guns (GUNS!!!), the noise of the skyscrapers falling and crushing NY's population are enough. Cloverfield has no soundtrack, right?

Here's the feedback from my teacher (a lulzy blonde chick):

No sequel, PLEEEEEAAAASE!!!

And at the next course she made me write a love story. About halfway through, I turned it into the saga of Vladimir Putin transforming into ManBearPig and eating kids, while also maintaining the delicate and intricate love subplot.

And now for the second, educative part of this blog post:

Last weekend I saw Nine Inch Nails, The Prodigy and Freesty1ers at a festival. Trent Reznor is God, there's no doubt about that. I was staring like an idiot through the whole concert.

By the way, here's a somewhat funny Trent Reznor pic from that show:

There was a hot air baloon that took the public for a short ride. After their show, the guys from Freesty1ers (here's a video if you don't know who they are. And here's another one, featuring one of the hottest girls you'll ever see)... Yeah, where was I? Right. The guys from Freesty1ers went straight to the baloon.

Their MC is a funny hyperkinetic black dude. While preparing for takeoff, some Hungarian Neo-nazis were clapping their hands and singing "DOG, DOG, DOG!". The MC was waving at them very happy and posing for pictures, while those of us that knew what the douchebags screamed were LIKE WTF, DUDE. That was really one of the most awkward moments of my life!

When the baloon landed, these douchebags asked them for an autograph

And then the Freesty1ers grabbed some booze and food and spent the rest of the evening among us, having fun with the kids and the fans and waiting for The Prodigy show. That's not something you'd expect from pretty famous musicians, isn't it?

The Prodigy concert was MASSIVE. There's no other word to describe it.

A rather amusing thing is that at this festival there were a lot of Hungarians, and the festival was in Romania. Now, the relationship between the two nations is very much like the one between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in Borat. The bloody Hungarians invaded Transylvania around the year 1000 and ruled it until 1918.

So lulz ensued when The Prodigy played Invaders Must Die. Maxim screamed stuff like "INVADERS MUST DIE, INVADERS MUST ***** DIE! KILL THEM ALL! KILL THE INVADERS! THIS IS HOW WE DESTROY THEM!" for the entire song. The Hungarians were pissed off, the Romanians were like **** YEAH and everybody was insulting everybody (while dancing and moshing).

They also have a song called Warrior's dance which benefits from a very cool music video that, surprisingly, is not stop-motion. During the live performance, they were singing stuff like "my Romanian warriors, my Romanian friends, let me see all my Romanian warriors here!". Obviously, the invaders went nuts about this. A drunk Hungarian that was sitting next to me screamed like an idiot I AM YOUR WARRIOR, NOT THEM!

I took this picture of a Hungarian during the Prodigy show.

So the festival was pretty cool. Apart from the fact that a certain someone didn't come with me. You can find videos and pictures if you google/youtube something that also includes Cokelive or Peninsula. There were other big names like Primal Scream or Tiesto, but I don't give a crap about them.

I'm leaving the city tomorrow morning. Gonna visit my grandparents. I'll spend three or four weeks without Internet - which is OK, since I bought more than a dozen books during this year and haven't read them yet. Last year I've read 16 books there Unfortunately, I'll miss the Avatar Day and the premiere of District 9. And Wolfenstein's launch.

Then I'll work for a magazine. I was supposed to start working this summer at another newspaper; I've interviewed some people, which was very awkward because they're the relatives of people killed during the 1989 revolution and they're extremely sensitive and suspicious about this matter. But then it all went to hell, the project was cancelled and all my plans went down the drain.

I really need a vacation.
