Went for a very enjoyable drinkie with the Jonic last night, although I am suffering the effects a little this morning. I was tickled to find though, that three of the top 5 most read stories on the BBC News website this morning were: Man’s ‘pants’ password is changed Leaking mushroom soup halts plane Spider [...]
Those of you who have had to put up with the most intermittent blogging in the world will be all too familiar with the fact that I have the attention span of a gnat when it comes to focusing on writing. Even when I haven’t written anything for over two years (apart from some puff [...]
No matter how far Mel Gibson has charged into insanity, I frothed visably at the mouth at the news on AICN that there may well be a new Lethal Weapon film. These films have been an integral part of my genetic make up ever since I used to go to my Dad’s friend’s house in [...]
I know I’ve become rubbish at updating again recently, a point pointed out to me by my erstwhile compadre, Jonic. But considering the man hasn’t blogged in what seems to be about a year, it’s like Hitler telling off Eva Braun for ‘being a bit tetchy.’ Anyway, one of the main reasons for [...]
It’s not often I get to the cinema these days, so yesterday was a real treat for me, offering as it did, the chance to see the new Indy film in an almost empty cinema. I went in to the film with some fairly low expectations following reports from various friends, but was very pleasantly [...]
That’s a comment on the weather, not my state of mind. Anyway, the afformentioned heatwave has forced me to move inside this lunchtime, where it is also hot, but not in that ‘my-face-is-melting’ kind of way. Managed to turn not a lot of money into a session of extreme drunkenness on Saturday, which then alas [...]
Now that the dreaded Big Brother is back on our screens, it appears that I will have a new regular blogging time, since it is my yearly task to avoid all contact with the pestilence brought about by Endemol and Channel 4. One of the great things about the current election fervor is the fact [...]
Also wanted to mention that last night I finally got around to watching the excellent Hollywoodland, which I heartily recommend to all and sundry. I’ve been a fan of Affleck since Dazed and Confused, and his early career was chock full of excellent performances. Then he went into autopilot for a few years, going after [...]
Firstly, words can’t describe how excited I am about about Oliver Stone’s forthcoming ‘W,’ which now has the above poster image. I know it’s going to be shamelessly partisan, but so were JFK and Nixon, and they both turned out pretty good. Stone knows better than any other director how to push a good liberal’s buttons, and [...]
One of the best things about my new job is when the one hour lunch break combines with the rather splendid weather that we’re having. Add in a dash of open fields like the ones we have round the back of the office, and you have all the ingredients for a rather splendid lunch hour, [...]
