Sinister: sexual athletes

[Rachel Playforth]

feeling splendidly grubby and depressed this morning after finally
seeing storytelling.  i must say though that i strongly disapprove of
the whole fiction/non-fiction split.  i didn't think that fiction was
remotely strong enough as an idea to be a section in its own right - it
felt like maybe a scene from another film altogether, yet to be made. 
and the juxtaposition didn't really have any underlying significance
that wasn't imposed by the title/sub-titles.  this is just LAZINESS on
solondz's part, surely?  he had two ideas, neither of which were quite
feature-length, and instead of being patient and waiting for two mighty
oaks to grow from tiny intellectual acorns, he made one mostly average,
disjointed film.  grr.  however, i did do a crazy dance to 'scooby
driver', so it wasn't an entirely wasted evening.

i am looking forward to receiving my inexpensive prize for successfully
being a sad geek (and hoping that terry underwear is a millionaire to
whom a gamecube is an inexpensive prize...)

good to hear that another sinister picnic maintained high levels of
smut.  of course, we southern picnickers are actually hardcore sports
mentalists, rather than sex-crazed slackers.  football, bowling, AND i
might be bringing *shuttlecocks* to the next exciting adventure on
saturday, with who knows what HILARIOUS CONSEQUENCES.

so, i will see some of you then.  high noon: you, me, racquets at 10
paces.  your red bull won't save you now chu...

and now i must go and recover from that Robin Stout Gets Fat! shockah.

luv archel xxx

ps. anyone who is not up to the high standards of athleticism demanded
by a london picnic, or lives towards the north end of the british isles,
should go to the winchester club on saturday instead.  i hear it's not
half bad, if you can't have huge quantities of bouze on top of a hill
that is.
