March Event: High Society Film Premiere

Hello noble readers!

As I often say I am happy to share projects that people are doing & a friend of mine is distributing a film! It’s called Hi-So (Thai slang, short for 'high society'). There are a couple of screenings this weekend in London which some of you Indie film lovers might appreciate. I hope you can make it, especially as I can’t, feel free to post me your comments about it if you do go along.

There are two special screenings on 1 & 2 Mar, each followed by director Q&A and drinks reception with a free beer thanks to Chang Beer! Definitely one for lovers of good independent cinema and a more authentic view of Thailand!

The premiere is on Fri at Curzon Renoir at 6.15pm and the second screening + Q&A is Hackney Picturehouse on Sat at 2pm in the afternoon.

So that’s a UK Premiere of Thai Cinema, with free booze and a filmmaker to boot…Day for Night are really spoiling us!

I predict...a riot!

So tonight's the night.  To get myself in the mood I may even dust off an evening frock! OK maybe I'll just wear the pyjamas without the holes.  I will be live tweeting @shegeekbham if you want such dazzling insights as - "yep he's drunk", "that dress is amaaaaaazeballs"  "WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAT!!!!!" & "Nice speech".

Well lets face it, the results are unlikely to vary from other awards by much, so Seth MacFarlane needs bring the controversy, which shouldn't be a problem.

In case you haven't caught my other blog (what, faithful readers? you don't follow my every move?) I have listed my predictions there.  Well here.

To aid your passage through the night, I've linked to a couple of drinking games (remember the year of the strange interpretive dance!) although I will be staying sober to keep my witty edge and because I'm working tomorrow.

Anyway - enjoy and celebrate films (responsibly!) wherever you are.

Single on St Valentines

I am always single on St Valentines Day.  Usually I catch a movie at home (usually NOT Before Sunset because Celine's breakdown is a little too raw when I'm reflective).  This year I watched Les Miserables surrounded by couples and enjoyed a good uplifting cry as the last couple of songs washed over me with their melancholic beauty.  So much for dignified defiant singledom.  This year I let it upset me that I was single, alone "on my own".

Anyway I came home and came across something I bookmarked a while back which reminded me that I am single and difficult to love and eccentric but I am me and happy to be me. This inspiring poem and beautiful vimeo video says it far more eloquently than me:
