US’s War on Tourists, Mexican war on trees…
via BoingBoing: 70 per cent of respondents said they feared US officials more than terrorists or criminals. Well, you know my thoughts on this…
Have a look at this lovely site, I’ve mentioned it before, but now it’s rehomed at forgivenessletters.com. The idea is people send in their anonymous letters asking for forgiveness and they get published in a blog stylee. Then the best ones get included in a book. I’m curious to see whether this will take off. It was a chance to include one of my favourite poems too. Catch it before it’s updated…
Yesterday we went round Amour Fou for a BBQ which was grand and to return 21 Grams and Ghost Dog. Lovely crowd of people there as always. Today, we’re off to t’cinema I believe…
Ooh, and we had our tree lopped for the princely sum of 40 gringo bucks. I got the angle wrong on the “after” photo so it doesn’t look like much cos there’s another tree behind it. Needless to say the tree “surgeons” just climbed the tree with a machete hacked about like crazy and then drove off with the branches in tow. One out of two for Health and Safety ain’t bad… They seemed sober anyway.
I’m well behind on my film reviews. One of these mornings… I highly recommend Sunlight (2007) by the way, see it in all its glory in the cinema if possible.
I liked sunlight, but again Danny Boyle ended with the theme of a Mini-Society fighting for power. Also I didn’t whats the deal with the burning man from Icarus I. Good movie anyway. Boyle still rules!
Apparently he's going to do Trainspotting 2 with the original cast once they hit their 40s.
I agree the burning man thing was pretty incongruous given the fact everything else seemed well researched and science-based, but it was good to see a Freddy-style monster in the cinema again. Thanks for the comment!
