Ello me breetush chums, Yikes! We went to see The Exorcist last night. Well the big hard residents of Chorlton did. Wimpy little ginger saps stayed at home and hid behind their sofas. The Exorcist was very good though. I liked it. Especially the washed-out 70s look and the tense atmosphere. It wasn't especially scary on the whole (well, obviously I wasn't scared) and there wasn't much laughs and the most horrible bit was when they did some medical procedure on that possessed girl. (Very unpleasant. Do they still do stuff like that?) At the end of it all, I certainly hope I never get possessed by an evil demon. Which is I think the message that the film was trying to convey. The icing on the cake was Big JB standing up at the end and announcing to the audience that his least favourite people in the whole world were students. That's what happens when you keep a young man who's just spent several hours in the pub away from a toilet for too long. Then we went to a "Concept". Concepts sell beer and play loud 80s music. They don't however play J-Pop, which is exactly what some club called "Ultra-Kitty" was up to in Manchester on Monday. Sadly, I only found out about it on Tuesday so I never got to go. But it does give me the chance to mention that the Japanese pop kids are probably the coolest and best dressed pop kids in the world. And they all like Soft Rock which is probably the coolest and best dressed pop genre in the world. On the TV front. Well in the coming series of Stars In Their Eyes there's going to be a very special guest. I'm not mentioning names or anything, but watch out for the magic words "Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be Robert Palmer". Stephen Pastel's coming to Manchester in December. The 11th it is and he's taking along some of his friends and they'll be playing a selection of their favourite songs at "Night & Day" cafe. I'm very, very excited. Have a lovely weekend everybody, Keep the faith, The John PS It's Stuart David +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
