south bank show.

[tiggaboy]

i only recently saw the south bank show. my mate taped it and was away at uni. soon as he came back, i drove down to his house at about 90 mph without divulging to my girlfriend the reason why we were traveling at such speed, she was soon to become the wiser.as soon as he opened the door it was "whats hapning bruv? you need to see this thing.When you see it you cant help but like him.
i was really hoping he was right because id already bought all his available films on DVD and i didn't wanna be let down by the genius behind some of my favorite films of all time.
so often Ive been disappointed when i see or read an interview on one of my hero's...not this time.
It was like he was so real and down to earth.for a man with his talent i kind of expected him to be a bit arrogant or cocky.
but he was exactly how i hoped he would be extremely inspirational,funny,laid back and honest.
both of our girlfriends were in the room totally engrossed sh-hing us when ever we tried to discuss what Shane and Melvin had just talked about.Great stuff!
it made just wanna run out and start filming I'm sure there would be no comparison in the quality of Shane's work and mine,but it made me wanna try.
also i just wanna say This is England deserves the attention its getting after dead mans shoes didn't do to well which is unbelievable,TIE is just getting the due credit DMS should have got.TIE is the best film Ive seen in the cinema in months my friends on his third viewing tonight I'm going for my second tomorrow.Off the chain filmaking!blindin.

'made me want to try'

i think thats one of shane's greatest attributes- he depicts real life and makes you think- yeah- i've lived 'there,' i've had those experiences too (although hopfully without the morrells and combos)

Yeah, i watched the show with my dad and he instantly said "I can see why you like him!" ha ha. Shane is very down to earth, and i agree, he makes film-making sound like anyone who has a story, can do it. And i think he's an excellent influence.

The thing with Shane is that he's no different than us. Cause he's a film maker he doesn't let it go to his head, and the South Bank Show proved that. You can tell by watching the programme that he's not building bridges with Hollywood, cause it wouldn't work.

In a way, Shane's films are like books that never got round to being written.

One thing about the show; I thought Melvyn Bragg would look down on him like shit since most of Shane's films aren't massive blockbusting succeess. Turns out that Mr Bragg was interested enough to know the back to TIE and his life before picking up a camera.

I hope that this show is on lone somewhere.
