Dood. I love you like the brother I never needed, but watching a Virgin Money advert? Man, that's asking a lot...























I watched, of course.

FBM, adverts are some of the most expensive (per second) filmmaking there is - which sometimes shows as surprising, even delighting creativity (which again seldom has anything to do with the product or service advertised, but that's another story). Virgin ads I will watch just to find out if they still have that creative feel. This one almost qualifies. :tup:

"The internet is made of people. People matter. This includes you. Stop trying to sell everything about yourself to everyone. Don’t just hammer away and repeat and talk at people—talk TO people. It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free." - Maureen J

Off to see the new Batman flick tonight. Once again, my brother is starring. He is in a major role as "bloke in the background during the masked ball". :biggrin:

He's also in about 3 different things on TV in the next couple of weeks. And he is in something amazing for which he has signed a confidentiality clause and can't even tell his missus about - but it will happen in October.

He's in something called The Bletchley Circle which starts tonight on ITV (for those of you in britainshire) - it's a 3 point show about former Bletchley Park code-breakers playing detective. He doesn't know which episode he is in - but he features quite a bit in scenes on a train platform - at one point catching the lead actress as she falls from a carriage.

He's also in the wedding scenes in the new season of Downton Abbey.

Any nude scenes? :ask:

But those letters are not silent.

It's a special show where Derren convinces some bloke that the end of the world is happening (apparently) - my brother plays a mechanic or something.

A nude mechanic? Polishing his spanner? :ask:

Yay for Samuel Chegwin! :tup: I don't watch much TV, so probably won't catch him, so I watched the Virgin Money ad instead.
