#She was a millionaire pink floyd blogspot movie#
If we hadn’t experienced the “IMAX 3D experience”, I’d be pissed – horrible movie saved by some technology. Pros: Angelina Jolie was inspirational, the 3D was not over used, and when it was, it was used to great effect (lots of ducking and Madeline squeezing my hand too tight when dragons plunged towards us), the CGI was very good with a couple of glitches, the dragon fight was brilliant, the group of guys sat behind us kept making amusing comments, the audience cheered when Beowulf kicked some ass. Cons: The plot was horrible, the king’s wife was plain Jane, the computer generated ocean effects on the beach were not realistic, Beowulf's accent is just weird. Not sure blown away was accurate, but it was relatively painless. Had big expectations, and spent a long time convincing Madeline that she was going to be blown away. My only previous IMAX experiences were in Sydney (rugby tour – too exhausted to stay awake in a warm dark room), and watching the movie 300 more recently, but that wasn’t in 3D. If it wasn’t for the grin, he could even pass for a member of Pink Floyd, or, at worst, a member of their road crew, perhaps one ‘let go’ for being too cheerful by half and getting under Roger Waters’ feet.Saw Beowulf: an IMAX 3D experience last Friday. When press articles about the PM’s rock ‘n’ roll years appear, they’re predictably accompanied by a photo of the youthful Blair in 1972, beaming behind ripples of unkempt long hair.

Blair is a rock fan, a sometime guitar player and, briefly, the lead singer in a band while at university. However, one of those very same leaders, Prime Minister Tony Blair, has just let slip that, regardless of the band’s political motivation, he is looking forward to watching Pink Floyd’s performance at Live 8. Live 8 has been staged to raise awareness about Third World deprivation and to urge world leaders, convening for the following week’s G8 Summit, to tackle the issue of poverty. In 2005, though, the political landscape has undergone a seismic shift. Then, Pink Floyd’s hit single, ‘Another Brick in the Wall Part 2’, featured a choir of London inner city schoolchildren shouting a chorus of ‘We don’t need no education’, much to the disgust of the then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher.

The last time David Gilmour, Richard Wright, Nick Mason and Roger Waters fell even remotely foul of a politician was some twenty-five years earlier. Word filters back to the media that she has called an emergency meeting backstage and is threatening to end the show early, fearful that a crowd of 200,000 people spilling into the capital’s streets in the small hours will constitute an act of public disorder. Except ‘The Man’ is now Tessa Jowell, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. In the words of the 1960s counter-culture from which Pink Floyd emerged, ‘The Man’ is not happy. It is 2 July 2005, and the band are due to perform at the Live 8 charity concert in London’s Hyde Park, but the event has already over-run by nearly an hour. Just when it seems as if rock music has long lost its power to offend, Pink Floyd’s reunion has thrown the establishment into a panic. But I’ve no interest in discussing anything with him. ‘I think Roger Waters has my phone number. If I’m going to be on stage playing music with people, I want it to be with people that I love. ‘I don’t think we’d get through the first half an hour of rehearsals. ‘I really do hope we can do something again. But maybe I’m just being terribly sentimental – you know what us old drummers are like. ‘It would be fantastic if we could do it for something like another Live Aid.
