Spinal Tap

Discussed Armand Iannucci (The Thick of It)
Ed Wood (the worst film ever made Plan B from Outer Space)
Ed Wood (by Tim Burton - we have to watch for homework in entirety)

we were then broken up into 3 groups and checked out cameras to go and construct our own movie montage.   This was real fun. It has to be edited and shown to class next week.

We also had a Personal Development class and discussed Maslow's pyramid of human need and the barriers to people achieving what they want in terms of their career (e.g.      economical, societal, cultural, self awareness, educational etc)    all very interesting.

It's been a busy day and I have to make my tea now and do my homework.    I am going to watch The Golden Girls at 6pm on TG4 - I love that show.    But shhhhhh don't tell anyone ....   the girls are far removed from old man Eisenstein.     :-)
