love a good story
Today I saw possibly the worst film of my life – Dirty Grampa – at Vue, Star City.
I think in parts the humour actually offended me. I couldn’t believe this was the same guy I’d seen in Jackie Brown.
On a more positive note, me and Liz did go for a nice meal at the Green Man in Middleton. My only quarm was that my otherwise nice burger came on a bloody brioche bun.
Then on the evening we watched the first episode of the new series of The X Files. Despite the mixed reviews I actually liked it.
Thoroughly enjoyed True Romance at the cinema.
A slow, winding blade of green weaves across the ever-growing familiar white brickwork from the left side of the stage. Then another from the right. They wind slowly across the length of the wall – both to the centre and up – until they blend seamlessly into one of the most iconic animations from The Wall – the flower scene over Empty Spaces.There are a few albums that have moved me in ways I can still feel: Radiohead’s The Bends, Lana Del Rey’s Ultraviolence. But the one that has had the greatest effect on me – and still continues to do so – is Pink Floyd’s The Wall.Tonight I went to see the one-off showing of the new film by Waters which was about 80% concert show and 20% pilgrimage by Waters to visit the resting places of his father and grandfather. The thing as a whole went together beautifully.One of the songs that continues to get me each time I hear it is Vera – and this time was no exception. I was suprised to hear, in the discussion that followed, that this was Waters’ favourite song off the album.The songs I were looking forward to the most were Comfortably Numb, The Trial and Empty Spaces. I love how the full version of Empty Spaces gets used when performed live.The usage of some of the animations from the 1980s film of the wall were a nice touch too.All in all it was a great performance of The Wall.
Off to watch Inside Out again. Not looking forward to the Pixar short at the start again though. Bloody singing islands.
I love this wallpaper from American Horror Story. From series 3: Coven.
The Hateful Eight poster. I really can’t wait for this one.
I really enjoyed ‘Inside Out’ tonight. I did not expected to see that film – I was expecting Mission Impossible again, which I was silently routing for – but it was great nonetheless.
So apparently the new Bond film, #Spectre, is slightly shorter than your average Bond film…
What a ride. Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation is great.
About to watch Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation at Star City Birmingham
Why is it in spy films, when they receive a phone call, they sometimes get asked to “go secure”? Why not just encrypt all calls by default?
Really looking forward to seeing Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation this weekend.
Oh my god. Radiohead have become a favourite for the betting on who has performed the title song for Spectre. Good news
Just watched the last boy scout. Great film I haven’t seen since I was at school.
Looking forward to seeing the James Bond double bill today. Casino Royale followed by Skyfall.
