This week I turn the ripe old age of 46 years old. In fact, I celebrate my birthday one day before this #MTOS runs (Happy Birthday me!). Now, being the age I am, I spend a lot of time reflecting on the past, and also pondering what the future will bring me. It’s safe to say, I may be going through a bit of a mid-life crisis of some sorts (I mean, I’ve actually started trying to lose weight, and also dusted off my bass guitar last week for a quick play). Thankfully, I have films to help me decipher my journey to this point, and also to give me a taste of what’s to come. But what films?
That’s where you all come in! Help me in my adventure in exploring my identity, and guiding my future path, by talking about the films which cover the journey we all take through our lives the best. This week #MTOS will start at childhood, and work all the way through to death to map out the journey of life on films.
In addition, you will notice that this week is all about the good films, and no mocking of the bad. Because, hey, it’s my birthday – let’s not get all mean and nasty (also, there has been enough venom in #FilmTwitter since the Oscars, so let’s not add to it this week).
