Future of Film and Cinema

by Laurel Papworth on February 23, 2009 · 6 comments

Tonight is the Academy Awards night. Which is odd, because it’s usually around my birthday – March 24th. Do you know how annoying it is to invite people over for a birthday party and they keep wanting to turn the music off and turn the telly on? I’m emotionally scarred for life.
