If You Were The Inventors Of Facebook, You'd Have Invented Facebook.

I have a theory. And many short film ideas. And a new phone. And Brandon Flowers' debut album is horrific. And my blog is apparently read in quite a few countries across the world. But I'll tackle these subjects, and more, one at a time, instead of overloading you all with information.

First, my theory. Basically, there's some kind of supernatural force that's stopping me from getting any further on Henry Sugar. Whenever I get a good train of thought going lately, I come up with other short film ideas, and by the time I write them down, I lose track of what I was doing on Henry Sugar. Yes, you could say I get distracted too easily, but that's the thing. I like having distractions, they help my creative process, if you can call it that. For example, designing a chest rig for someone to wear (so you can see the person when they move) had made me totally forget the scene in a casino that I was writing. Grr.

Sorry, but you'll need to turn your head to see this very basic sketch, which might make the idea a bit more clear.

Yeah, so I have a new phone, yay!

Also, a word of warning. Don't think of buying Brandon Flowers' solo album, Flamingo. It's horrific. It's like a lame version of Sam's Town. Just listen to that instead. At a push, download Crossfire, but ignore the rest. Jesus, it's dire.

Last night, I've also applied to a couple of work placements at the BBC, one of them being TV and radio production in Glasgow, and the other being to work at BBC Films in London, which would be awesome, on so many levels...

Also, looking at the page view counts, it turns out that there's a lot of people from pretty far off places reading this. If you like, drop me an email! (dhunter91@gmail.com). Cool.

And on another note, I can't wait until The Social Network, the film about the founding of Facebook, comes out, and here's the trailer, with a fantastic choral version of Radiohead's "Creep:"



Andrew Garfield (The new Spider-Man,) Jesse Eisenberg (Adventure/Zombieland) are in it, and Justin Timberlake might be surprisingly good for a change! It's directed by David Fincher, so it's certainly got the talent behind it. I'm very much looking forward to this, so much so, that I bought The Accidental Billionaires, the book on which the film's based.

Darren out, saying a million dollars is cool. You know what's cool? A billion dollars.

Listening To: The Scott Pilgrim soundtracks (game and film), OBVIOUSLY.
