Sinister: Inevitable "Gregory's Girl" post
Well, I hadn't seen the film until last night, so sorry for repeating the obvious... "Are you going to take her up the country park?" I thought this phrase was shockingly rude for all of, ooh, ten minutes, before Gregory did actually take Susan to Primrose Hill, where they smoked a pot of jasmine tea. It also reminded me of the line in the first verse of String Bean Jean, but it's not really similar enough to be a direct reference. Though one of Gregory's friends did look a LOT like Struan, although older, which is odd as he was playing a schoolboy. What's weirder (only for me, mind) is the fact that Gregory *is* Henry, our IT bloke. They have the same face, similar accents, and an identical attitude towards women. I was in a meeting with him first thing this morning and just couldn't lose the images. I may have over-smirked. Aranzazu - I did the New Wave at college too (some nice films, decent imagery, pretty men & women, painfully/too hip and just a touch over-rated), and wrote a passable essay on A Bout de Souffle, though I can't for the life of me remember what I said. Sadly, this was before the days of word processors, so unless I can find it, discover the ink hasn't faded, photocopy it etc, it probably wouldn't help much. It probably wouldn't help much anyway. Steady Mike said: Damien Thorn He also said: cock. Or tits Stevie Trossachs said: Bush (this could go on. But it won't) I had a dream about listees the other night. Natasha was part of an all-female Mafia gang on the run in England for rigging the Inter-Venezia footie game. Me and Marcus accidentally overheard their discussion, and were duly kidnapped and held, unthreateningly, against our will. But we managed to persuade Natasha she was wrong to be a mafiosa, her and Marcus fell in love and then Marcus jumped off the roof of a double decker and barked his knee on the pavement. What could it all mean? Jason - have a look in the archives for answers to your 3 track Vs 4 track question. Poor old Jenowl. I once got punched for uttering the immortal words "you fucking wanker - yes, you in the hood". Oops. It turned out okay though - it was new year's eve, there were 3 blokes - after they'd each had a swing at me, they calmed down. The bloke I'd insulted (he'd laughed at my then girlfriend, who moments before had knocked herself unconscious on some railings) just had a bit of a shout at me, but his mates thought he was still looking for a fight, so they jumped on *him*, and left me to walk off, baffled, while the three of them kicked the shit out of each other. Quite enough for one day, Markx p.s. if anyone sees a 7 foot caber tosser by the name of Mctaggart, can they bring him back please? ******************************************************************* The contents of this e mail from HIT Entertainment PLC are confidential and intended for the addressee only.
