Grrr….

 

Today, I am ANGRY. I am ANGRY that idiots like this have opportunites to publish their poisonous ideology. Colbert takes him down here. I am ANGRY that the whole UK Big Brother fiasco has infected some of the sites I frequent which I assumed were above such cultural dross (I’m aware of how snobbish and elitist that sounds but to paraphrase Bill ‘God’ Hicks ‘I don’t want to sound arrogant or bitter but I am, so that’s how it comes out’). Most of all though, I am EXCEPTIONALLY ANGRY with the NFT for not telling me that they have arranged a screening of ‘Inland Empire’ followed by an interview and Q&A with Lynch himself which has now SOLD OUT. Talk about adding insult to injury, they also rejected my application for tickets to next months premiere of the new Simon Pegg & Edgar Wright film ‘Hot Fuzz‘ which also had a Q&A session. What exactly do I pay my £35 a year subscription for?

   

On the flip side, tonights cinematic fix is sorted as I have this beauty to get through. I had a quick look at it last night and it is shaping up to be one of the best film documentaries I’ve seen. The extras are long solo interviews with some of the key players of the 70’s, including my personal fave Paul Schrader (who always has some excellent anecdotes) so that should keep me occupied. There also appears to be a reasonable choice of quality films at the flicks to pick from for the weekend as well, which is a rarity. Should I see this, this or this?
