I saw the newly reformed Cornershop.
And the rescheduled Ladytron gig...
And here are some more review type things…
Sunset Boulevard (1950) William Holden, Gloria Swanson, Erich Von Stroheim. Dir: William Wilder
Down on his luck screenwriter Holden gets caught up in the twisted web of a former silent screen goddess. Iconic film noir with Wilder’s trademark sharp dialogue, but it’s the loaded performance of real life former icon Swanson that steals the show. OTT but with the bitter pill of truth
DDDDD
Theatre of Blood (1973) Vincent Price, Diana Rigg, Ian Hendry. Dir: Douglas Hickox
Shakerspearian ham actor Price takes revenge against his critics with a series of bard inspired murders.
Price is having the most fun in this entertaining spoof, but the narrative is very bitty, and the tension never seems to really build up. But the set pieces are very memorable.

Marnie (1964) Sean Connery, Tippi Hedren, Martin Gable, Diance Baker. Dir Alfred Hitchcock
Connery is smitten with Hedren, a frigid kleptomaniac who‘s robbed him, so he determines to set her straight. Lesser Hitchcock - hard to believe that Connery would keep patience with such an unlikeable lead, the audience certainly won’t and the ending doesn’t vindicate it. Mother is sympathetic for once

Bestiality Case of the Day...
3 comments:
According to my flatmate, there was another beastiality case involving a man and a dead goat (just to add a bit of necrophilia into the mix as well). Apparently, at his trial, when asked to explain himself before the judge, he said, "My Lord, have you seen the women round here?"

do you know what mecophilia is? and who the hell is cornershop? worst bandname ever - should be all murdered! how's it going...p
Well you might have noticed that the singer is Asian, and as Asians are stereotypically associated with owning Cornershops, they decided to name the band after said association. They had that massive one hit song 'Brimful of Asha'.
No I don't know what mecophilia is, and neither does google. Is it a sexual attraction to mechano?
I'm fine, life is kinda dull, but it ticks along at not to unpleasant pace. Got a week off soon yay!
