Posts from December 2007

I’m only blogging this to kill a couple of minutes before the film starts (December 31st, 2007)

Why, whenever I want to get an early night (tonight, say) is there always a great film (The Royal Tenenbaums, say) starting after midnight?
Ingmar Bergman died this year, as did Norman Mailer, Kurt Vonnegut and Pavarotti (so famous he’s already in my Mac’s built-in spell checker). And so who do the BBC put next to [...]



Disapproval would be folly (December 25th, 2007)

I wasn’t really planning on posting anything over Christmas, and not least because any words I do write really need to be contributing towards a looming deadline.

Normal service will resume, unless I die.
