Titanic The Epic 4-Part Series!!

Hey Guys & Dolls...

Tonight is the first episode of the Titanic airs on ITV1 9pm.... be sure to tune in.

 As the 100th anniversary of the ships sinking draws closer. I have noticed a push in advertising and PR and publicity amid the anniversary.
and the award winning original film starring Kate Winslet & Leonardo Decaprio is due for rerealse in 3D in coming weeks.

ITV have also commissioned a new 4-Part Series of the Titanic, each part will tell the story of particular people of those on board the ship. And judging by the dramatic advertisements, and television appearances by the cast members, the documentaries on how the series was made, and not to forget the Million pound budget that ITV have invested in the making of the series, their most expensive ever!!

My corner...

I love films, I love the Titanic story, I love the history and loved the personal stories and accounts its the love story what made the unsinkable Titanic ship, such a great film in the beginning.

I just don't know if the story can ever be told again in such an emotive and epic way as it did the first time.

However im optimistic because its a fantastic story to have been told, if the series is anything near as good as the film was then all the push advertising and publicity around the series alone, will be for all the good. And that million pound budget ITV have spent making and producing the film will most defiantly have paid off!!.....


WATCH THE SERIES...& TELL ME WHAT YOUR CORNER IS!!....

1st Official Day of summer!!!

Hey Guys & Doll's..

Summer is  Officially here!!...

The Clocks moved forward this morning and British Summer begins....as temperatures have been soaring between 21 & 23 degrees above average records for the time of year.

A water hose pipe ban is expected to come into force soon as there has not been any sign of rain for weeks....
Forest fire's have begun to break out in some areas across England  due to the hot temperatures and dry leaves the Autumn season left behind....

I wonder if the warm temperature will last the whole of the Summer months to come or has our summer weather just come early like our Winter did last year???

My corner.....

I hope that the summer temperatures will last the whole season....but I have a feeling that maybe its too good to be true and if so make the most of it...the spring/summer wardrobe can come out early!! whoo hoo!!

What's Your Corner????

Plan B's response to the Summer August Riots

Hello Again Guys and Doll's......

I heard on the radio this morning that rap artist Plan B has released a video in response to Summer August Riots. Watch the Video.What do you think good or Bad??

My Corner...

A good song that reflects the youths view point, its truthful but a tiny bit  over aggressive but that's the nature of the video I suppose. The message is clear but at this stage of the year who is paying attention and what happens next?

What's Your Corner??.................

Kony 2012

Who is KONY? What is the movement? Who is the movement? Why is the movement?.....Kony2012

My Guys and Doll's.....My First post

So if you havent heard about the kony2012 movement yet you are bound to very soon!! 

Kony 2012 is a movement to make a guy named Kony famous by the use of social media....

The movement Kony 2012 is a huge world wide campaign to find and bring this man Kony to justice.

(see the video above for more details)

 I came across this Kony 2012 Youtube video when I heard and felt the buzz of the movement, I had no idea what it was about I just saw everyone talking about KONY.

When I first came across this video on my Facebook page the 1st thing I saw was make  'make him famous' and thought to myself okay and why would I want to that? How can I do that?......I must have watched the video about 3 times and every single time I watched it my views and opinins changed rapidly. At first the compassionate, and sympathetic felling came over me, and for a moment I found myself wanting to make KONY famous for how emotive and captivating the video was. I thought I want to change the world!! I liked the Facebook page and went on twitter to check out the impact of how it was trending.

It interested me I wanted to know more I was intrigued and fascinated to find out as much as I can!!

On my second view I thought to myself..WOW!! look at my generation and look at how it has become so self less and responsible in taking action for the rights of themself and the rights of others, we are not so bad after all, how proud am I that there are respectable role models who have a heart despite the negative press that young people carry the weights of. Look at the sheer impact social media and innovative global technology has and the power of the world wide web. 

But then as the aspiring journalist that I am I began to ask myself the other questions, the questions that were on the other side of the story. I began to question and analyse the whole movement and with a ratioinal and critical eye! 

I had no Idea who KNOY was and what the movement was about in the begining until I HEARD the HYPE and the BUZZ saw all the celebrities involved and how much of an impact this movement was having on a huge scale!.....

Why all of a sudden has the world done what had done and seen the video heard all the hype and feed into social media's hype about the hype without knowing all the facts. why am I and why do I want to feed into this movement now when I know that this kind of thing happens all over the world and I find it devastating yes but I just get on with life tomorrow......

Is it really fair to make this one man named Kony famous without knowing if he is even real, or what he is really doing and what really is happening? and what this movement is REALLY about?

& here is my corner......

This very much seems like another Osama Bin Laden lets catch the bad guy movement, that has no regard for the other side of the story or what really is happening....... this is an example of good PR on the side of the Knoy2012 movement and shows how much of a huge impact social mainstream media have upon the young generation who still have much more of the world yet to experience and learn about!!....A great video!
