30 Day Challenges: Days 9 and 10

30 Day Movie Challenge: Day 9: A Movie You Know All The Script To: The Boat That Rocked.
Maybe Because I saw it at the cinema so many times. this film is billiant, it came to me at a point in my life when I needed a lift and the film gives off a certain energy that just leaves you feeling happy. Ecstatic.


30 Day Movie Challenge: Day 10: Your Favourite Director:Tim Burton.
The one thing that really annoys me, having Tim Burton as my favourite director is the fact that so many people will tell you he's their favourite director but they will only cite Nightmare Before Christmas and Beetlejuice as their favourite films. People tend to forget his other bouts of genius like Ed Wood, or James and The Giant Peach. His take on Batman.
His films are well known, it's like Marilyn Monroe people love her purely because it's the in thing to say, much is the same with Burton. I love his films don't get me wrong and his artwork but what I love more is him, is his quotes his interviews he really enjoys what he does. Much like with Pegg and Frost. Its more about a message then money. It's the same with Richard Curtis.
'I have a problem when people say something's real or not real, or normal or abnormal. The meaning of those words for me is very personal and subjective. I've always been confused and never had a clearcut understanding of the meaning of those kinds of words.
Tim Burton' This is one of the may reasons I love Tim Burton because I can relate to him so much.
I'll leave you with my favourite quote from him 'If you've ever had that feeling of loneliness, of being an outsider, it never quite leaves you. You can be happy or successful or whatever, but that thing still stays within you.'


30 Day Book Challenge: Day 9: Your Favourite Horror: Dracula.
What else could I put I mean really.


30 Day Book Challenge: Day 10: Your Favourite FairyTale: Beauty and The Beast.

I love the orignal version of Beauty and the beast as well as the new disney one. The thing with the older fairy tales is they are a lot darker, a lot darker then they are in the new ones.
This tale though really is beautiful and the disney version deviates from it a lot in that new characters are added and belle is forced to stay at the castle.
