OK, time for that scary de-lurking kind of thing. Well, kind of de-lurking kind of thing since I was subscribed a year or so ago, around when I saw B&S at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, but had to leave early because I had to get the train back... rant... rant... rant... Anyway... <blush> GREGORY'S GIRL Can't say I've "long awaited" the sequel. It seems hard to "long await" something that I didn't see when it was new first time around. It's kind of cheating. Like kids seeing all the Star Wars films for the first time this year. The films only seem good now because of the twenty-odd years of playground games and memories that have grown up around them. IYSWIM. Scary though: people born in the 90s could be at secondary school next year. What I really liked (not that anyone should really take my opinion on spec, since about 1/4 of the audience left during the film) was the new print of Koyaanisqatsi at the Curzon Soho. The music there was superb and it was the most engrossing film that I've seen for months. Still not sure if I agree with what its saying: the "life out of balance" stuff. BRATISLAVA, HAGGERSTON I've just finished reading LONDON FIELDS and am rather confused. I can't find anyone here who's read it and remembers it in any detail and altavista seems hopeless. I just don't understand the ending. It's hard to ask anything specific without giving spoilers... I just feel that I've missed something beyond the references to playing with his brother..? Rather than being a twist I just didn't get it..? EUPHEMISMS "Flogging the ice cream". I mean, what else could they have meant: "till the company's on its knees". B&S CONTENT 15 B's. 39 S's.
