Cinematic Procrastination

Oh no. I just blogged all over the internet. Again. Sorry

I haven’t done one of these since early June, which happens to be pretty much the last time I was supposed to be doing any work. For some reason, there seems to be no reason to spend my time doing this unless I have something ‘more important’ that I should be doing, like studying for exams. As soon as I actually have the free time to spend blogging, I find myself doing others things like eating and continuously refreshing the BBC News page in the hope that something has happened in the 4 minutes since I last looked.

Filling 6 weeks always does end up as some sort of challenge, especially without a holiday this year. This has lead to me film-binging throughout the entire summer, which may partly go to explaining why I am so unfit. But I have seen some great films, and some bad ones. This summer alone I have seen:

• The Godfather
• Something’s Gotta Give
• Donnie Darko
• Shawshank Redemption
• LOTR-The fellowship of the ring, extended edition
• My Summer of Love
• The Dark Knight Rises
• Taken
• The Social Network
• The Matrix
• Ted
• The Amazing Spiderman
• Tim Burton’s Batman
• The Bourne Identity
• The Bourne Supremacy
• The Bourne Ultimatum
• The Big Lebowski
• Virgin Territory
• Scarface
• Rain Man
• Mission Impossible 1,2,3 and 4

Looking back, I probably could’ve been more productive. Given that you can add to this list a whole series of The West Wing, all of The Newsroom and Veep, Wallander (all hail Kenneth Branagh), Line of Duty and all the terrible films I’ve seen but were so unmemorable that I’ve forgotten them already.

However, my parents have started pestering me to start work for school this year. Hence I’m finding time to blog. And for all 3 of my dedicated fans, I promise that I will blog more in the near future. I also promise that they will be less self-indulgent and more interesting than this was. Sorry.
