I totally talked about Chris and Gwyneth in the last post. That is so predictable that re-reading it I nearly bored myself to death. Sorry to all my readers. The Spice Girls has gone now, from my head and from the West End, so that's a relief.
I just watched ‘2 Guns’ with Denzel Washington and also saw ‘Flight’ a month or so back. The only conclusion I can draw is that the regrettable suicide of Tony Scott has only been a good thing for Denzel’s career. Rather than making another substandard movie with trains in it, Denzel was forced to accept offers of alternative, superior films. So not a complete loss.
I also finished reading ‘Stephen King’s Under The Dome’. It was a huge undertaking and I received training from Bear Grylls before I set off, but I turned the final page about two stones lighter with nothing but a sense of elation and pride, mixed with bewilderment that the whole Dome thing was a massively unlikely sci-fi conceit. I tried to watch the TV adaptation, but none of the actors they had cast really resembled how I’d imagined, or even how King had described, so I gave up as I was constantly annoyed.
I am working around Canary Wharf in London’s old East London Docklands. Ah, the tradition, the ancient sense of industry and community. Of course, that last sentence was a sarcastic comment. The only way you can tell where on earth you are around there is by the DLR station names, and even then it’s a struggle. You can play a dot-to-dot game with branches of Jamie Oliver’s Italian outlets, all of which are buried in identical subterranean shopping centres next to branches of River Island. All linked up on a map they would draw a rough outline of his gormless gurning face. Actually I kinda like Jamie if I’m honest. I admire his fruitless attempts to make our nation eat healthily, and his gastronomic floundering in the USA attempting to get them to do the same thing was an excellent chance to witness an entire nation give an individual the cold shoulder on television.
So – aside from all the important stuff as discussed above, what is left? Syria. David Cameron’s moobs. The entire cast of Coronation Street being outed as bribe taking, cash-grabbing morons or rapists. Sharon Osbourne on the X-Factor. I think it’s Sharon Osbourne, it’s hard to tell these days. She looks like F.Murray Abraham from Star Trek Insurrection: http://tinyurl.com/ohtppze
