    This film shaved at least 2 years off my life through stress. Yeah, the CGI is awful and the ending wasn't perfect, but I really enjoyed it. It's one of those films that stays in your head after you've watched it.

    Cardiac diseases mostly, yeah... What I'm saying is I am perfectly healthy. And I dout any harm will ever come to me for those extra pounds I carry around...

    I'll take that risk. I'm around 10 kilos fatter than my ideal weight.

     

    What about children at risk of becoming dangerously fat? Surely you can see why it helps young people?

    Honestly, I didn't like it back then, I don't like it now. And I don't know anyone who's changed their mind about it because of it. Do you?

     

    Sportsmanship? That's crap, there's always been two groups of people in PE: the ones who're good, and the ones who get picked last. How the fuck does that encourage sportsmanship and teamwork or help build confidence??

     

    I'm gonna tell it like it is. I'm fat. I'm one of the kids who got picked last. With one exception: I'm not an outcast. The other guys didn't even dare to mock me. I always stood up for myself, and let nobody step on me. They think they're better than me? Well, I'll show them they're not.

    But what about the other ones, the ones without moral fibber?

    I saw the humiliation that goes on in these classes, and I tell you, that can bring no good into someone's life.

    Oh, and one thing, I went through the entire high school without moving a single muscle in PE classes. I'm still here. I made it through. Living proof your theory doesn't work.

     

    Plus, it destroys your average...

     

    Wich of your arguments is still standing?

     

    As you said, your overweight, therefore if you took part in physical activity surely you'd become more healthy. You haven't proven anything wrong, you've just chosen to push something away that could have really benefitted you.

    Firstly, this probably could have went in the creative board, but it relates to the homework thread and I'm interested in what other people decided to make for a Media or Film project.

     

    I'm currently in the middle of AS Media studies coursework and I'm making a short film. In my pre production I planned to make a Ninja Turtles/Power Rangers styled film, I even included research about the shows! :laughing: It's just now, I'm finding hard to begin actually recording something like this. My costumes are really awesome, it's just I'm worried It'll look like a bunch of idiot teenage lads running around with cheep looking imovie effects thrown in. Although I do want the film to be cheesy as a homage to the power rangers, I don't want it to look stupid and getting your mates to try and do some convincing acting is very tough.

     

    So, if you have any tips about filming, ideas for the plot or anything from your own experiences that could help me please share! :)

    I dropped my Wii-mote, less than a meter from the floor and it even had one of those free plastic covers on it, but now it won't register when it's swung or shaken. It was the one I bought with Wii play, therefore I'm not sure if it has a longer warranty than the so many days to take it back to the shop I bought it from. I probably have the receipt somewhere, I never throw things like that away and I have all the packaging, is there anything I can do?
