Man on the Street: “Hey Socks (I’m wearing this t-shirt). I just got out of county jail, you got some change for a cool beer?”

How do I attract these people?

New Design

I found this really nice design on the internets.

I like it but I think I may need to make it brighter or something.

I really need to update the design of this place. I was thinking of doing something steampunky. If there is any body still reading this and they have suggestions, post them to the comments.

Twitter

I’ve been using Twitter recently to follow a couple of the internet people who’s blogs I read and it’s pretty good. I’ve been posting stuff to it too. You can follow along at http://twitter.com/kertap. It would be nice if you did as then it wouldn’t feel like I’m shouting at the wind.

New Software

I’m trying out some new blogging software. Writing blogs from the old desktop hasn’t worked for me in the past but I blame the software for that. We’ll see how this stuff goes.

Sundance: Anvil: The Story Of Anvil

Kertap — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 08:51:08 +0000

Time for another Sundance post. When I read the blurb for Anvil: The Story of Anvil, I initially thought “This is Spinal Tap, except real”. Then on the bus to the cinema I heard the woman behind me say that it is like Spinal Tap and that it’s kind of sad. This got me thinking “If Spinal Tap was real, how good a movie would it be? Things go really bad for Spinal Tap but while watching it you have a grin on your face because you know it’s not real.”

Anvil Is Real. Watching it was like being on a roller coaster of emotion. One minute your happy, laughing at a joke. The next cringing as they miss a train. Worried when they fight amongst themselves. Happy when they apologise to each other. Crushed as they endure disappointment after disappointment. And elated when it all comes together.

Anvil is Really Real. When the movie was over the director came down. And he introduced the stars of the movie. Anvil. The people we just saw on the screen were the exact same people that were asked questions such as “Where were they playing tonight?” and “If the movie that was made was the movie they expected to be made?”. This was really special. Being able to see these guys who had become personal heroes in the space of 2 hours and realise they weren’t playing any character for the camera was amazing.

Anvil is Spinal Tap. This movie will be compared to Spinal Tap and it knows it. It’s got lots of little touches in it that pay tribute to the mockumentary from a dial that goes up to eleven to Stonehenge.

Basically Anvil: The Story of Anvil ROCKED!!!! I hope it at least gets released on DVD as this is a documentary that should be seen by everyone.
