The Future of Entertainment

Ok so I’m sitting in my lounge and Jonny is chatting at me about me playing a character in a porn web series called something anal. He just informed me the first name was Anthony, now it has changed to Allen. Now he is chatting to Nicola about something or other his mind is everywhere. So the point is I think it would be fun to make a web series. Maybe it is because of things like Zomblog, and the fact I do like nothing with my free time, and the web series idea is a pretty open field. Wait update on Jonny’s idea, I’m now a painter who stalkers girls and creates art around them. Now Jonny tells me it is a fact that Rhino’s are aliens because they have horns.
Today I discovered two new things that I liked a lot. The first was a rock group called, Northern Kings, a cover band from Finland, featuring heavy metal/classical music. My god it takes a lot of guts to do rock covers of songs like “My Way”, “Take On Me” and “I Should be so Lucky”, just amazing. I had to remind myself that I have no money so I can not afford to buy the albums, let us thank god for Spotify.
The second thing I discovered was because of friend and housemate Jonny (already talked about him in this blog). A new American series called Glee. The show focuses on a group of high school kids who join the “Glee” club, a kind of musical after school club. It feels like a grown up version of High School Musical or that awful British show on ITV, but in Glee that they do not just break into song and the singing only feels forced a tiny bit in some scenes, but in most places it feels real. The acting is pretty good and the main storylines seem to jump well between 3 of the main characters, 2 of the pupils and 1 teacher. The 3 main characters each have a narrator letting the viewer have a better look at their lives both at school and at home. Also the range of ages of the characters really opens this up to a bolder viewing audience.
As it has taken me a while to write this up, as I have been thinking of ideas for a web drama with Jonny, I will now wrap it up and go to bed as tomorrow I got to be in work early and also in the evening it will be time for some good old comedy gold with Ricky Gervais. So till the next time of random chatter, bye bye!!

P.s Time travelling man from the 50’s was one of the last ideas to come from Jonny, a character I would play with a cockney accent!
