What makes you really like a particular TV show? The actors? The story? The effects? Sure, all those things help but ultimately it’s the character that decide, I think, whether you’re hooked or not. If you find the characters funny, sympathetic, etc and you can relate to them, then they have you.

The UAE is determined to make a name for itself in the international film industry. Previously little more than an exotic backdrop for moving pictures, the country is taking steps to ensure that Emirati directors can make their own blockbusters. Rania Abo
ABU DHABI // Fadel al Muhairi is busy scouring his hometown for locations for his first feature film, a social drama about a young man’s quest to find his role in society. Armed with a Dh90,000 (US$24,500) grant from the Emirates Foundation, a joint private and public sector national endowment fund, the Emirati filmmaker believes that he is in the right place at the right time.

This morning when arriving at work I had this tune stuck in my head, and it wouldn’t go away. Don’t you find it so annoying when that happens? All I had was something like “…floating on air… on a wing an a prayer…”, that was it. So a little Googling later I find out it’s the theme to “Greatest American Hero”, a short lived US TV show from 1981-1983. As far as I know I’ve never even seen the show but I guess I have heard the theme.

Why is it so hard for some people to be quiet at the movies? We don’t go to the movies to hear others talk, to hear them taking and making calls with their mobiles, to hear them chat with friends, etc. We go to see a movie and listen to the movie. Isn’t that what others want too? I wonder. We just saw the latest Harry Potter movie (Crystal is a fan and there was two guys who kept talking, occasionally on their mobiles. I asked politely if they could be quiet but that didn’t really help. These people should stay at home and watch movies. And if talking on the phone is so important, why bother going to the movies? I don’t get it…
