To the east, to the east

Three years ago yesterday, I spent some time at an unmanned train station with a chicken.

Went to see Endgame on Saturday.  Wow.  Amazing.  I absolutely loved it.  Monday I watched the latest Game of Thrones.  Also amazing.

As an aside, I’m amazed that people are butthurt about the fact that a show called Game of Thrones will actually, in the end, concentrate on the fight for the titular throne.  Whodathunkit?

On Monday, I had a taster session for something Writers Block North East are doing next year.  Basically, I’ll be given a, iPad and using it make a film about my year.  Edited using iMovie.  It sounds quite interesting, but I’m not sure if I’m going to take part.

The first thing is the iPad.  Apart from the fact I don’t know how to use one (Android fanboy here, I’m not comfortable having something like that for only that use.  I’d probably forget to take it places, forget to use it and be terrified of losing it.

The second thing is iMovie.  It’s alright for what it is, but it’s incredibly basic.  I’d get very frustrated at not having the sheer range of options I’d have on a proper editing machine.

If, if, if I could convince them to let me shoot on my phone or tablet, I’d do it.  Then, I could edit it using a proper editing package and leave them none the wiser…

I don’t have to sign on for another six weeks.  Yay!  Then I’ll have a new work coach.  Boo!  My current coach is moving to a different department.  Shame, I quite like the guy.

Saturday, I’m heading through to Newcastle again.  I’m going to see Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile.  It’s not going straight to Netflix here, and Newcastle is the nearest place I can see it.  I loked to see what other films I can watch afterwards and noticed that the local Cineworld is showing Endgame on a screen that goes from wall to wall and floor to ceiling.  So, naturally, I’m going to that as well.
