Update re: Facebook. I've finally surrendered and joined Facebook, but only to keep in touch with relatives and friends who know me in the real world. Someone else has set up a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Analysist-Rob-Ager/46671806462?ref=ts">Facebook account using my name and picture</a>. On close inspection it describes itself as a fan page, but initially appears to be my "official" Facebook page. My real Facebook page is <a href="http://en-gb.facebook.com/people/Rob-Ager/100001013204567">this one</a>, please only send a friend invite if you know me personally.

14th July 2010 - The <a href="http://www.collativelearning.com/mybb_1401/Upload/index.php">forum</a> section of the site is up and running again. All member login details are retained, but old threads have been removed.

7th July 2010 - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiaQ_ERNKLw">UKIPwatch exposed</a>. Was this this video the reason for the pre-election smear attack against me and this website? After making the video in December 2009 I sent a link to one of UKIP's MEPs in the EU parliament. I've since been informed that it was shown to other MEPs in the EU. Interesting that The Sun newspaper used a still shot from the very same video in <a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2923728/UKIP-ban-for-SM-film-boss.html">their smear attack article</a>.

25th June 2010 - New website launched for my forthcoming feature film <a href="http://www.turninyourgrave.com/">TURN IN YOUR GRAVE</a>.

11th June 2010 - Featured content - <a href="author antony c sutton - speeches and interviews.html">ANTONY C. SUTTON: SPEECHES AND INTERVIEWS</a>

Thanks to the hundreds of you who've filled in the <a href="visitor survey.html">VISITOR SURVEY</a>. Sorry I haven't time to reply personally to all of you, but your information has certainly given me a better idea of how to take the site forward.

3rd June 2010 - <a href="ET analysis.html">"The Alienated Child" - a thematic analysis of E.T: THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL</a>. This is the first review of a Steven Spielberg film on this site. Enjoy!

For the time being I'm unfortunately unable to restore the site forum.

26th April 2010 - Forum update. Apologies for not posting this sooner. Those of you who've read my <a href="PRESS.html">Press Page</a> will be aware that a small handful of journalists went through this site recently and attempted to misrepresent its content as a smear attack against both myself and the UK Independence Party, who I'd been campaigning for. Being that anybody can sign up and start posting opinions that could give ammunition to journalists, I've decided to remove the forum at least as a short term measure. It may even be necessary to transfer the forum entirely to a different website after the UK general election on May 6th. Sorry again folks.

19th April 2010 - Can all regular visitors please fill in a <a href="visitor survey.html">VISITOR SURVEY</a>. Future content of the site is dependent on your response.

15th April 2010 - Film analysis of Martin Scorcese's <a href="cape fear review.html">Cape Fear</a> and Alfred Hitchcock's <a href="Subliminal themes of Hitchcock's PSYCHO.html">Psycho</a> have now been uploaded again. Some of my other film analysis videos will now only be available on DVD.

1st April 2010 - Trailer uploaded for upcoming feature film <a href="turn in your grave.html">TURN IN YOUR GRAVE</a>.

16th March 2010 - Feature film update and interview for Shoestring Century.

Apologies to all of you who've sent emails in the past couple of months and not received a response. I've been 100% dedicated to the production on my first feature film, the bulk of which has now been shot. A website for the film and teaser trailer will be uploaded soon.

I don't have any new videos to post at the moment, but Andrew Dimitrov at shoestringcentury.com has been kind enough to invite me for an interview, which you can <a href="http://shoestringcentury.com/2010/03/15/rob-ager-interviewed-by-andrew-dimitrov/">read / listen to here</a>.

7th Jan 2010 - Chapter five added to <a href="NL NF NR - contents.html">NEW LABOUR NEW FASCISM NEW RACISM</a>

6th Jan 2010 - Assorted updates made to <a href="the shining.html">THE SHINING</a> analysis. Sorry I can't provide a comprehensive list of the updates, except to say that Chapters 18 to 20 now include significant additions.

3rd Jan 2010 - New video uploaded for film analysis of <a href="bladerunner analysis.html">BLADE RUNNER - "Globalization & Dehumanization"</a>. Happy New Year !!!

20th Dec 2009 - New investigative report (article & video). <a href="SKILLSTRAIN SCAM & REFUND.html">THE SKILLSTRAIN SCAM AND HOW I GOT MY REFUND</a>. This issue has been a distraction for some time from my usual output, but the results will be beneficial to many who would otherwise lose thousands of pounds of their hard earned money. Being that the organisation in question will more than likely attempt to have the video removed from Youtube, I've posted it under its own dedicated Youtube channel so as not to jeopardize my other videos.

10th Dec 2009 - New film analysis video posted <a href="2001 analysis new.html">HAL = IBM</a>. The narrative is an extract from chapter 8 of my article on 2001: A Space Odyssey ... Kubrick and Beyond the Cinema Frame.

8th Dec 2009 - New page posted <a href="no concensus on man-made climate change.html">MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING IS NOT SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS</a>. This isn't an article of my own, but merely a collection of links and video embeds on an important political / economic topic. Please spread this information in any way you can.

27th Nov 2009 - Chapter four added to <a href="NL NF NR - contents.html">NEW LABOUR NEW FASCISM NEW RACISM</a>

26th Nov 2009 - Updates made to the <a href="Products.html">dvd products</a> page to make orders simpler. Order forms can now be sent directly to my email address and payments made via Paypal.

23rd Nov 2009 - New in-depth article <a href="NL NF NR - contents.html">NEW LABOUR NEW FASCISM NEW RACISM</a> first three chapters posted.

20th Nov 2009 - I've been writing a lengthy new political article, which will be posted very soon followed by a video for one of my existing film analysis articles (possibly Bladerunner or an updated 2001 video).

The shooting of my current horror film project is on hold until early 2010 due to some location difficulties and the sheer volume of special effects involved.

7th Sept 2009 - New film analysis article <a href="HELLRAISER analysis.html">HELLRAISER - "I hurt therefore I am"</a>.

26th Aug 2009 - The missing video sections of <a href="the shining.html">THE SHINING</a> and <a href="FMJ contents.html">FULL METAL JACKET</a> analysis', which were deleted from Youtube, are now available to download here on the site - just follow the aforementioned links.

Project updates. HELLRAISER analysis has been delayed due to a surge of activity and progress on my horror film project (which now more than likely will be my first feature film). However, the HELLRAISER analysis is close to completion.

10th Aug 2009 - Youtube are at it again. They recently removed the last segments of <a href="the shining.html">THE SHINING </a> and <a href="FMJ contents.html">FULL METAL JACKET</a> videos with no specific explanation as to what content they objected to. I'll have those two video segments available on here as free downloads very soon.

Project updates. HELLRAISER analysis is in the writing. An updated video of the <a href="alien analysis.html">ALIEN</a> analysis is in the pipeline too. My own horror film project is steadily progressing through the special effects development stage. Marc Bolton, who played Cody in my first film <a href="the victim.html">THE VICTIM</a>, is on board to play the lead role. Several crew members who helped produce / shoot The Victim are back on board as well.

27th July 2009 - New film analysis article <a href="high plains drifter.html">"The Avenging Conscience" - philosophical themes in Clint Eastwood's HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER</a>

19th July 2009 - Five films added to the <a href="forgotten classics.html">FORGOTTEN CLASSICS</a> section.

17th July 2009 - CREW CALL!!! ... I'm currently in pre-production on a double film project (one short and one feature length), which I'm hoping to shoot in October / November. Have already got several previous collaborators involved, but if you're based in or near the Northwest of England and have special effects makeup / prosthetics skills then please forward to me your CV or a detailed description of your skills / experience via the details on my <a href="CONTACT.html">contact page</a>. Rob :)

17th July 2009 - The Victim - <a href="the victim - behind the scenes.html">behind the scenes footage and outtakes</a> uploaded. This is different than my usual uploads, but offers a light hearted glimpse of the micro-budget film process.

3rd July 2009 - Forum working again. Took a lot of messing around, but due to the MYBB version upgrade there shouldn't be any more "Nobody coder" style hacks.

30th June 2009 - Forum temporarily down due to a hacker. Apparently the same hacker hit about 8,000 sites recently, redirecting their index pages to show a "Nobody coder" page that waffles on about Obama and Iran. I'll have it back up as soon as the problem is fixed. Apologies. If anyone finds that any other pages on the site have been hacked in this way then please contact me asap. Thanks.

26th June 2009 - <a href="Products.html">PRODUCTS</a> page added. Some of my videos are now only available as part of these DVD packages - a necessary step to keep this site financially viable. The amount of time I can free up to produce new articles and videos is determined by the number of DVD sets that are purchased.

18th June 2009 - Video uploaded for <a href="pulp fiction - gold watch story analysis.html">"CARRYING THE TORCH" a thematic analysis of THE GOLD WATCH story in Quentin Tarantino's PULP FICTION</a>

17th May 2009 - Chapters seven and eight added to <a href="MULHOLLAND DRIVE ANALYSIS.html">Mulholland Drive analysis</a>.

15th May 2009 - New article posted. <a href="MULHOLLAND DRIVE ANALYSIS.html">"CITY OF NIGHTMARES" an in depth analysis of David Lynch's Mulholland Drive</a>. This is a only a half-finished version. I've already organized the content of the remaining chapters so writing them shouldn't take long.

24th April 2009 - Details for making donations added to the <a href="CONTACT.html">CONTACT</a> section. I'm also making lots of progress with the Mulholland Drive analysis - fans of the Kubrick reviews will enjoy this one!

17th April 2009 - Updates added to the FAQ section of the site.

9th April 2009 - Video version of <a href="big lebowski analysis.html">THE BIG LEBOWSKI - ANALYSIS</a> posted.

30th March 2009 - I'm back from a two week trip to Italy, which was awesome. Currently editing video for Big Lebowki analysis.

As requested by several members, I've now reduced the number of <a href="http://www.collativelearning.com/mybb_1401/Upload/index.php">forum</a> categories, as the ones I'd set up were quite complicated and were confusing people. All threads have been moved into the new categories.

The Shining analysis is also on hold because I still have lots of notes that need adding and a couple of chapters to write. Mulholland Drive analysis will be written shortly after I've posted the Big Lebowski video. Good to be back folks!

13th March 2009 - Updates and stills added to chapters twenty and twenty-one in expanded analysis of Stanley Kubrick's <a href="the shining.html">THE SHINING</a>.

12th March 2009 - I'll be mostly offline for the next two weeks (until roughly the 26th March) so won't be able to respond to many emails, video comments, forum posts etc. It may also take a while to reply to the backlog when I return. However, as of mid-April I'll have more free time so will be posting new material at a faster rate.

12th March 2009 - Good news on the copright front. The Psycho analysis video that was removed from Youtube has now been restored thanks to the "fair use" dispute option. Unfortunately, embedding the video has been disabled by request. That doesn't make much sense, but nevertheless the downloadable version will remain on here.

11th March 2009 - Part of the video for the PSYCHO film analysis has been removed from Youtube. Thankfully their dispute forms now include a "fair use" option so let's hope it works. Until then the video is available as a free download <a href="Subliminal themes of Hitchcock's PSYCHO.html">here</a>.

10th March 2009 - <a href="http://www.collativelearning.com/mybb_1401/Upload/index.php">FORUM UPDATED !!!</a> Technical problems fixed. Multiple categories up and running.

7th March 2009 - New updated video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7-GKHM5HZ8">THE SHINING - SOMETHING HIDDEN IN THE RIVER OF BLOOD</a>. The last version was deleted due to a music rights complaint. Here I've changed the music and added some additional info and interpretations based upon feedback received from the first version. The video's now jumped from three mins in length to eight mins.

3rd March 2009 - New film analysis article <a href="pulp fiction - gold watch story analysis.html">"CARRYING THE TORCH" a thematic analysis of THE GOLD WATCH story in Quentin Tarantino's PULP FICTION</a>.

Also, the short video I posted last week about the object hidden in the river of blood in The Shining has been removed from youtube, thanks to the moronic complaints of Serendipity LCC who own the rights to the music from the film's trailer - a shame because the video was very quickly racking up comments and viewings. I'll repost the video shortly with some additional theories about the object in the blood and without the trailer music. The remaining updates to The Shining expanded analysis will also be added soon. Mulholland Drive analysis is also well under way.

24th Feb 2009 - Chapter twenty-one added to expanded analysis of Stanley Kubrick's <a href="the shining.html">THE SHINING</a>. The full analysis is very close to completion now. Probably one more chapter plus a series of updates to previous chapters.

24th Feb 2009 - New video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3REO2z4_0sk">SOMETHING HIDDEN IN THE RIVER OF BLOOD</a> posted on youtube relating to <a href="the shining.html">THE SHINING</a>. It's only a three minute clip, but necessary for chapter twenty.

18th Feb 2009 - Chapter twenty added to expanded analysis of Stanley Kubrick's <a href="the shining.html">THE SHINING</a>. DVD stills added to chapters eighteen and nineteen.

16th Feb 2009 - New section - <a href="CLS FAQ.html">GENERAL FAQ AND FEEDBACK RESPONSES</a>.

13th Feb 2009 - New video ! <a href="ARTWORK ROB AGER.html">Painting a sci-fi / fantasy picture on canvas</a>. This is a little out of the ordinary, but i'm proud of it - it's the best artwork I've ever done.

11th Feb 2009 - Chapter nineteen added to expanded analysis of Stanley Kubrick's <a href="the shining.html">THE SHINING</a>.

8th Jan 2009 - New chapter added to expanded analysis of Stanley Kubrick's <a href="the shining.html">THE SHINING</a>. I've put this one before the SOME SHINE AND SOME DON'T chapter as it seemed more appropriate there. It's called <a href="the shining - chap 13.html">PART OF THE FURNITURE</a>.

I compiled these notes for the purposes of expanding some of my existing analysis of Kubrick films. It then occured to me that the notes themselves were worth posting for those of you wishing to explore the films further for your selves. The pace for new material being added to this site will also pick up a great deal in the coming weeks, including new film analysis videos.

<img src="PICS FOR WEBSITE/dad/dad 2003.jpg" width="250" height="250" />

29th Sept 2008 - A personal announcement. There has been a delay in editing new videos due to the loss of my Father, who died on 23 Sept '08. Robert Ager (snr) was an imaginative and inspired man with a sense of humour worthy of stand-up. He always challenged his children to grow and learn far beyond the social norms. Most of the inspiration for my writing and film making began with his influence, from filming comedy re-enactments of classic movie scenes on rented VHS video cameras to him passing me psychology text books when I was nine years old. Thanks for everything Dad. RIP
