…..nah.

Forget the Odessa Steps, forget the what-is-real cinematography of Rashomon, don’t bother me with Rosebuds or Full of Stars or three minute opening shots minus music and credits. The greatest pulse-pounding sequence in cinematic history is the Hawkman attack on Rocketship Ajax, and I’ll yell “Go Flash, GO!” at any man who disagrees. And yes, I do equate cartwheeling space-gypsies firing laser cannons, multicolour midgets in gimp costumes and Brian Blessed wearing rubber wings with the current state of Myspace.

Because that’s how I roll.

I just saw a band called Joy in Tomorrow and, well, they’re not too joyful at the moment.

“So, the other night we get online to sign-in and check our myspace account only to find out that it’s gone. Yes, that’s right, gone!!! No friendly email, no warning, no nothing, gone! After endless attempts to contact myspace and find out what in the world happened, we have decided to start over. It’s pretty much the worst day of our lives.

> 40,000+ FRIENDS
> over 160,000 plays
> endless media, contacts and resources

ALL GONE.

Could they not have sent us an email??? You know, something like… “Did you know your account is being used for spam and worthy of being deleted?” “Umm, no, actually we didn’t. Thanks so much for telling us. We’ll just change our password and solve this immediately.”

Ohhh… The Wonderful Land of “What If’s”.

Thanks myspace and whoever hacked our account. We really appreciate it. Our lawyer will be contacting you shortly.

Sincerely,

Joy In Tomorrow”

Meanwhile, the Myspace guy I was told to contact as he was responsible for bands and all that other stuff has, so far, replied to absolutely nothing that I’ve sent him. I don’t know whether the whole head in the sand thing works for you, but me?

Not so good. And we don’t even have 14 hours left to save the Earth…
