Posted on 11/15/2005 by michael

Tomorrow I have to go into New York for two days; it will be my mission there to go see this Sarah Silverman concert film. partly for an ulterior motive–I am a sucker for sexy semites with a slight overbite. … Continue reading →

The League of Gentlemen’s Apocalypse

Posted on 11/13/2005 by john

I watched The League of Gentlemen’s Apocalypse tonight. The plot isn’t terribly original, but it is cleverly handled: the characters of Royston Vasey invade the “real” world in search of their creators who have grown bored with them. The film … Continue reading →

Nothing important: just saw a wonderful snippet of an interview with Michael Caine from 1967: Peter Whitehead’s Tonite Let’s All Make Love in London. Michael: “You see, we don’t want to get drunk, or go out–what is properly known as–womanizing … Continue reading →
