12 days into 2010 and yet my life hasn't changed in any dramatic ways. Maybe because I forgot to make any resolutions, which I am genuinely disappointed about. I could make some now, but I feel this would be cheating the Gods of New Year in some way. I did however make a trip to Calgary last week, to welcome the dawn of a new generation of filmmaking; Avatar in 3D. I felt a bit guilty considering I haven't been to the cinema in aaaages, and the first thing I see is a multi-billion dollar franchise movie that really doesn't need my $14. But I thought it was a experience too important to miss. I expect when I'm 76 I'll be telling my Grandkids where I was when Avatar came out.
Review of Avatar: Amazing
Review of Calgary: Shit hole
So yeah, go see it. But if you're looking for something a bit more high-brow/pretentious, I think this looks quite good. If nothing else, it features a great song by LCD Soundsystem.
I've begun work on my long awaited Norquay liftie training video, which is proving to be more hassle than it's worth. I'm having to buy appropriate cables/links due to the extremely outdated camera I've been supplied with. It uses DV tapes. Not even mini-DV. Surprise, surprise, they don't sell these in shops anymore. Beats sitting around in a cold hut though.
In short, I'm gonna have to kick start this new decade with absolute enthusiasm and optimism. I was too lazy in the naughties.
