Bad Film Club

Last night I went to my monthly film indulgence: Bad Film Club.

Every month, the Barbican hire Nicko and Joe to screen a truly awful film and voice-over it from beginning to end. This month, the lucky film was... Leprechaun 5 - or, as it's official title reads: Leprechaun in the Hood.

With catchy lines like "A lot of time has come and passed. But still I see you're a big fat ass", or my favourite, the shocking, and yet hilarious "Come closer, come closer, my fresh young lass. Let me take a look at you, before I (hoo!) tap your ass", the film definitely lived up to its expectations and tears were coming down our face with laughter.

There are other 2 reasons why I enjoy Bad Film Club so much. Firstly, sweets (normally inspired by the film that is projected) are distributed around the audience, and there's always cake! And secondly, the fantastic mix of people who every month go to the Barbican religiously to see Nicko and Joe in action. From classic City-types, to complete geeks, from posh "blond" skinny girls, to the brilliantly bohemian Hoxton types.

Next month is the Wicker Man, which I'm not particularly keen on watching, but the one in May has Lindsay Lohan - Roll on!

Experimenting...

Not only with taking pictures and then turning them into drawings, but also, experimenting with the possibilities of this blog.

Cambridge... what a gorgeous place - still prefer Oxford though. Went on a cycling trip with my then housemate, it was cold, the 6 nations was on, but it didn't rain and we didn't get lost. Awesome.

The picture is of St John's College.

First ever post

Inspired by (and I must admit, a tad bit jealous of) my sister's blog's inauguration today, I have decided to remove the cobwebbs and blow the dust away from my (what I hope to be) completely random blog. I hope it fills many a dull hour.
