The Lair

So, I made a rash prediction about the greatest war movie and I was wrong. The results are here. And in hindsight, I should have guessed it. Somewhat flatteringly though, I had watched quite a few of the top 20. This, by the way, from someone who does not consider himself a film buff, who rarely watches movies and generally isn’t that interested in the Hollywood latest releases.

And I’m immediately giving the lie to my disavowal of film related interests by saying that there was a report on the BBC this morning about the Cannes premier of that film. And the response (which sounds credible to me) is that it’s better than the previous two; but the script is still bad and the acting is still not so good. And Natalie Portman has done a Sinead O’Connor. Not bad.

Off to London to jaw jaw jaw at some (probably) bored people and justify expenses. Might just blog from there if I can get a working net connection. If not … Wednesday or so. Toodle pip!
