Like water under a burning bridge - Shitz n giggles

Hey! I know, completely random... I just did a search for Harry Treadaway, and I saw a post about Latitude and so I asked what it was like meeting him. Haha I swear I'm not a stalker. Just interested. There aren't a lot of treadaway fans out there. And so we started talking about Latitude...and I live in the states, so I couldn't go, but it looks like sooo much fun.

Ah, fair enough! Sorry, I have to do *some* sort of preliminary checks on who the heck y'are before adding you back, y'see. Spies, and all that!

Latitude, though, is awesome. It's a really good atmosphere, very small festival, but really varied. Very genteel, and twee.

And you're right, there aren't many Treadaway fans out there, and I'm somewhat surprised anyone outside the UK knows who he is, since, um, no one in the UK seems to! I'm sure you've read Joe's account of Latitude, and how Harry turned up reading a random short story on the Thursday, then pitched up at our bar on the Friday, wearing a crown. EEEEEE, I touched him and everything! What do you reckon to this movie, City of Ember, that he's in? It's not out over here yet, but I'm kinda only looking forward to seeing it because of him & Bill Murray! Otherwise it looks a bit, er, rubbish.

Hahahaha I agree. I wouldn't normally see a film like that, but there are some good names behind it, like Tom Hanks (apparently he directed it?) and Bill Murray. But really the only reason I want to see it is because of Harry Treadaway. (Yes, sometimes I will sit through 2 hours of crap just because there is an actor I like in the film..lol). He's also in a movie called The Disappeared...which I have NO idea when it's coming out in the states, but it looks pretty good. It's horror...which is not really my cup of tea, but it seems interesting enough.

Yes, no one over here seems to know who the Treadaways are...haha. But that's okay. I just have a thing for obscure films and actors. They are more special =)

LOL that is so awesome that you got to touch him. Was he reading something he wrote??? Because if so, that's pretty awesome. haha...a crown.

There are some interesting music-festival type things over here, where you camp and that, but all the music they play is just...complete and utter crap. It's very upsetting.

Tom Hanks being a 'good name' is something I'd disagree with, but yeah, I agree completely otherwise. Ooh, a horror? Thanks for the heads-up!

Totally - well, when they get huge, it just means we get to be the really annoying fan who's all like, "I liked him waaaay before you did so NER".

No, he was reading something someone else wrote, a story about a psychic kid who could find things, or something. He did things like biting his thumb and hugging himself while he read it, which was HOT.

Latitude is very artsy - there's comedy, literature, poetry, theatre, and some music thrown in, which is generally of an indie-type standard, and it's set in this lovely woods by a lake, and all sorts, and all the signs and stuff are really pretty, and they paint their sheep pink <3. It's utterly beautiful. Glastonbury's kinda similar, but waaaaay bigger, and more varied, and the music's kinda geared towards older people. Reading/Leeds, in comparison, are concentration camps full of lager louts shouting lots. There are other small festivals about, but those are the main ones. Europe's pretty good for festivals, I've heard Primavera in Barcelona is pretty good, especially if you like indie. The All Tomorrow's Parties ones are pretty hip, but you stay in a chalet rather than a tent.

They all sound like a lot of fun... The ones I know of here are Bonarroo (a 3 day music event). Every once in awhile they will have good bands, but I'm not about to spend that kind of money when I'd only like about 3 of the performances. And the HFStival, which is pure crap. And the Warp tour, which is also crap. The Virgin Festival is okay...This year they had the Fratellis playing, which I was surprised about. But again, too much money for just one band that I'd like to see. So yeah, mostly I'm used to music festivals, but I don't know of any artsy Latitude type things. There's the Renaissance fair, which is....*interesting*. Haha. It's great if you love Shakespeare, but not so much if you get easily freaked out by everyone walking around in costume--guys in itty bitty tights and girls in corsets with LOTS of cleavage. lol I've only been once, but I'm not sure that I'd go again..

Hahahaha awww Harry. I wish I could have seen that. He seems like a quirky-type guy, which makes me like him even more. Normal people are so boring.

Yeah, the disappeared looks kind of cool. And I like that he's the main character. Here's a link to the trailer in case you want to check it out:
http://www.thedisappearedthemovie.com/trailer.php. It looks like a psychological thriller, which makes me happy.

Girls in corsets with lots of cleavage? I'm so there. Oh wait, no, wrong side of the Atlantic....again....

Agreed!

That movie looks AWESOME.

Tom Hanks did not direct 'City Of Ember', Gil Kamen did. No, me neither; it seems he's best known for directing (and writing) 'Monster House' which, to be fair, was awesome. 'City of Ember', on the other hand, looks dire. I think Hanks is involved in some other way, executive producer or some such.

At Latitude, Harry Treadaway was reading some lousy story by an author called Aimee Bender. The story concerned a disappeared child who was found by a psychic neighbour who could only read the thoughts of objects: the kid was found because the neighbour read the thoughts of/sensed somehow the jumper he was wearing.

His career certainly looks, on paper, better than Luke's: 'Dogging: A Love Story' anyone?

HAHA hey, I want to see that! lol But of course, maybe only because Luke is in it. He does take on some interesting roles... That's for sure.
