Firstly apologies for my state last night on the list - really I must learn that you should conduct yourself in a manner fitting for your grandparents if you're going to be a proper ambassador for the good of Sinister. So if I cleared the nursery out last night because they were all to shocked by the sort of individuals given space to rant on Sinister I can only apologise. Then again you might all be trapped here listening to me foaming at the jaw bone if the `unsubscribe sinister` command still isn't working properly. Ha-ha my evil plan worked - whoops I said that `evil` didn't exist didn't I? Well I'm not looking back at THAT mail to check. So far no differences between the pissed and sober mail I know, but I'm trying. Lovely to see Robyn Fadden remind me of a great cinematic feeling: "I watched "Being There" on the weekend. It's a lovely movie, a good Sunday morning movie. oh, i cried, of course i did. like the plastic bag scene in american beauty, it's so amazing when the beautiful just leaps out in front of us, dazzling, and you get that warm chest feeling like all is right in the world (though you still know that so much is wrong, but it's okay for a few minutes.) it's bloody beautiful." Well I'm certainly looking forward to American Beauty (over here in the new year) but I always loved Being There and apparantly it was John Major (British ex-Prime Minister of very little note - American listees) favourite film of all time which seems perfect that a nobody PM can find the story of a simple man who rose from obscurity by being in the right place at the right time to the ranks of President something he can relate to. John Major was just Chance - although he should probably have just stuck to the walking on water bit rather than the ERM. Incidently if you like Peter Seller's films, expecialy Being There then the one to watch is `Hoffman`, a little known 1970 classic about the story of an middle aged man blackmailing a young women because he wants to mother her... well it is great actually so there... and I just know that it's the sorta thing you Sinister folks would just love. Go check. Before I let this mail lie I seem to also remember (oh I'm so anally happy in comatose trivia land) that after making `Hoffman` Peter Sellers got all these lovely letters from caring people wanting to make him feel happier whic is exactly what I got after last nights drunken meeting with the Sinister list. And fantastic you all were to. It doesn't feel like xmas yet so at least it won't be an anti-climax for me - and naturally I wish all the best for you lot sticking around here. love Tom +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
