Time for an update! Too easy to fall into the trap of checking everyone else's blogs and not my own.
Life has been boringly predictable recently. Same old routines. Did discover however that my new work collegue and I share the same social circles going back about six years despite not knowing each other. A lot of that has been happening recently. I think I should adopt 'small world' as my catchphrase.
I became a Grinderman and general Nick Cave convert this week. The new album 'Grinderman 2' kept staring at me from the music press and so I dived in and am so glad I did. Absolutely outstanding! Think I'm gonna have to hunt down the Bad Seeds back catologue.
Incidently, Happy Birthday Nick Cave! 53 today.
Just got back from the picture house this afternoon having caught the latest M Night film 'Devil'. Generally pretty underwhelming stuff but better than The Last Airbender, or so I hear.
Thought to myself as I sat through the previews, how bothered are people really about subtitled movies? Let me explain - the trailer for 'Let Me In' came on. Its a remake of the Swedish 'Let The Right One In', a movie that both myself and a lot of others hail as a masterpiece. It just feels so unnessesary to remake it. Should I be so bothered?
Finally, I think I ought to upload a few more piccies of myself. After a few nights out I think I have a few despite feeling the most unphotogenic person in the world! Shall have to develop them (yes they're on film) and prove that that profile pic is not just a cardboard cutout of a grinning idiot

With M Night's previous track record, these days I never hold any hope for his movies turning out to be anything other than underwhelming.
