Minimalist poet, minimalist lifestyle

I watch quite a lot of films, online, on the TV, on video or DVD and even at the cinema a few times a year; I regularly, although not frequently, write about films on my blog or post comments on other people's blogs…I wouldn't claim to be an expert though; I just enjoy a story that will make me think; or just a bit of escapism.

So. at the moment of writing this I'm thinking about the first film I watched on various formats. Well, the first time I can remember going to the cinema was when our parents took us to see a Tarzan film at the cinema in a neighbouring village (South Kirkby) - I think the film was several years old at the time…it was in colour though; I'm not that old. The first film I saw on my own at the cinema (with a couple of friends actually) was 'Arthur' at the cinema in Mexborough, long since closed, and the first video I ever watched was 'Capricorn One' which seemed quite exciting at the time.

The Beatles were designed and sent to the U.S. by the British Psychological Warfare Division to undermine the morals of American teenagers.

Christ and his disciples were a magic mushroom sect.

The author Stephen King killed John Lennon.

The Second World War was staged. It never really happened.

The early Middle Ages (614-911) never occurred. We are actually living in the eighteenth century.

I really hope this is true - I don't have much respect for pontificating popstars.

At a recent concert in Glasgow, Scotland, the lead singer of the band U2,
Bono, asked the audience for total quiet.
Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands once every few seconds.
While having everyone's complete attention, he said into the microphone, "Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."
A voice with a broad Scottish accent from the front of the crowd pierced the quiet:
"Well, foockin stop doin' it then, ya evil basturd!"
