Jesus Christ Superstar

Jesus Christ Superstar

J.R. Hartley

Ah the holidays, is there a more relaxing yet pointless time for students right across the country, from Southampton to Shetland?

that was my opening thought for this blog post but i would like to take the time to thank you, my loyal readers for getting this blog up to a 1000 reads, when i wrote the first post i thought that well frankly i would get about 5 readers for the first post and then no-one would be bothered again, to the contrary is what i have experienced, well i would like not to thank you because i did not write this to be read, but i would like to say that i hope by reading some of these well constructed rants that your horizons have been widened, or that you just enjoyed reading them!

On with the show! yes what a wonderful idea Christ had 2000-odd years ago, to die around this time and to not put up a fight so that present day children can enjoy the fruits of his labour, endless amounts of chocolate and 2 weeks of perfectly timed revision just before that big push before the final round of Year 11 (GCSE) or Year 12 (As-level) exams, like a well skilled army building its supplies, training its men and just bracing its self for the approaching enemy.

So not to go down the road of imposing upon another religion but i really do not see why we get 2 whole weeks off at easter, this term has been immensly short and rather challenging for myself as i have been trying to get my act together after some rather poor exam results as i am sure i told you all about at some other time.... anyway back to it, revision will be the center point of my easter holiday.

Apart from the first few days i have indulged in many many films; here is what i have watched

Bridge on the River Kwai
Apollo 13
Uncle Buck
Grease
Easy A
The Great Escape
Chicken Run
(Lots of Top Gear Specials)
Butch Cassidy and the sundance Kid
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.
A Clockwork Orange
Pulp Fiction
Dragnet
Dirty Dancing
I intend to watch the back to the future boxset also

Looking at these films I am quick to establish a pattern, i like films made by and for the insane, with the occasional bit of escapism, i think that says a lot about my personality really, Insane with an ultimate desire to escape from the mundane to a wonderful place that would seeeeeeem to be America in the the past, focusing on the 1960's and 1950's... Yes i know i look at the past through rose tinted specs but ehhh everyone gotta have a dream to prevent them from jabbing themselves in the wrists with a razor blade or jumping in front of the 5:15 to Brighton.
