Cheer up emo kid

Thursday, September 11, 2008
I've watched two clips on YouTube this morning. Both made me weep a little. I think I've caught emo.

The first was bought to my attention by this article on msnbc.com. It states that the incredibly popular YouTube video of Christian the Lion has inspired Sony Pictures to adapt the story for a big screen biopic.

In case (like me) you've somehow missed the clip, it 's about a couple of guys who bought a sad looking lion from Harrod's (?) and raised him in their apartment until he became too big to keep.

They released him into the wild in Africa, then went to try and find him a few years later. They were told the lion wouldn't remember them. BUT HE DID. Oh my god, he did. Cue tears.



The second thing that moistened my eyeballs was this clip of Portia and Ellen's wedding. Hit play and feel the love, people. Feel the love.




If anyone wants me, I'll be out the back attempting to harden the fuck up.

SimoneMitchell - There are many things I enjoy. I like pictures of pets in costumes, Youtube videos of people hurting themselves and films that distract me for days on end. I'm also partial to the odd liturgical dance performance, watching episodes of Deadwood in bed and reading a great piece of writing that makes my heart sing. My love for all these things has landed me the gig of Entertainment Editor here at The Vine. So in the words of Robbie Williams, sit back and "Let me entertain you". *punches self in head*
