Hello to you too, Joss. Get well soon, eh ? On the subject of films, I'd like to recommend one. I'm not really a film fan. The vast majority I get to see are at best watchable but cliche ridden, at worst a disgusting waste of ridiculous amounts of money. The fact that so many films are tampered with to fit in with a marketing departments ideas of what the public want also grates.. Still ... Dead Man, by Jim Jarmusch. A synopsis: DEAD MAN tracks a young man's Homeric odyssey through the nineteenth-century American West. Lost and badly wounded, William Blake (Johnny Depp) encounters an outcast Native American named "Nobody" (Gary Farmer). Contrary to Blake's nature, circumstances transform him into a hunted outlaw, a killer and a man whose physical existence is slowly slipping away. The story leads the two men through situations that are in turn comical and violent, which ultimately change their unlikely union into friendship. It wasn't a particular hit with the critics when it came out (1995). The beginning sequence seems to be the stumbling block for them. Too long, too boring. Er, no, seven minutes of beautiful scene setting, twats. There's a cool Neil Young angular-twangy-guitar-chops soundtrack. And a couple of hilarious cameos, including Billy Bob Thornton as Big George and Iggy Pop as Salvatore 'Sally' Jenko. BTW, did anyone mention Romuald et Juliette in their list of ace French films. Or have I picked another turkey as a favourite ? Turt Big George: That's terrible. Sally: It's horrible. Big George: Terrible is what it is. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
