Well, once the art films start running banner ads along their frames, I'm upping sticks and moving to...the moon I guess.<BR/><BR/>If you want depressing, you should definitely watch The Seventh Continent. It's about this family that decides to pick up and move to Australia. Except they do no such thing! Nope, not Australia.<BR/><BR/>Hokay, I am off to chase around my little ex-Elizabethan, as she looks far too happy licking at her stitches.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7188696.post-89978624049462019792008-04-17T05:52:00.000+01:002008-04-17T05:52:00.000+01:00The art film and I have rather parted company thes...The art film and I have rather parted company these days, what with kids, life, and no longer needing to puff myself up with my own artiness, thank goodness: I haven't even seen the Piano Teacher! <BR/>I though maybe I liked Peter haneke, and a google showed that most people think they are the same person: my short story teacher on the writing course said that one of my absurdly pretentious 'stories' was like 'Offending the Audience' by P. Haneker.<BR/>I then realised that who I really liked was Peter HANDKE: in other words I don't know shit....<BR/>However I have read a Thomas Bernhardt novel: that's alomost enough depressing Austrian-ness for me.<BR/><BR/>Lunch is like the art school dance: it lasts foreverpkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02678679294859263012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7188696.post-62626425052193453332008-04-16T13:39:00.000+01:002008-04-16T13:39:00.000+01:00I was under the impression that I'd seen nearly ev...I was under the impression that I'd seen nearly everything Greenaway made, but Bruce put a stop to that nonsense.<BR/><BR/>My favourites are Prospero's Books, The Pillow Book and Drowning by Numbers. Their appeal is largely aesthetic, which is majorly informed by Nyman, you're right (they were an unbeatable duo, weren't they!). I haven't seen a Greenaway film since I was about 23 though, which is plenty of time for a gal to outgrow something.<BR/><BR/>I'm much more interested in Michael Haneke these days...have you seen any of those? (Apart from Funny Games U.S. which somehow slipped into the mainstream, I mean). By interested, I don't mean charmed...ugh.<BR/><BR/>Does lunch stop at, erm, lunch for you at least?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7188696.post-50291805546547499262008-04-16T12:29:00.000+01:002008-04-16T12:29:00.000+01:00You get a lunch hour" I work in a kitchen, so that...You get a lunch hour" I work in a kitchen, so that's just a concept: I don't get that about the celebrities, as I can guarantee one never to have been seen in, for example,Cricklewood, or Tooting, etc etc. How far did you get with Mr Greenaway? I stopped at the Cook.....and only got through that because of Helen Mirren. My favourites are the Falls and A walk through H: after that I think I was more of a Michael Nyman fan than a Greenaway one.pkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02678679294859263012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7188696.post-47954338244229611462008-04-16T06:00:00.000+01:002008-04-16T06:00:00.000+01:00Skinny jeans aren't in fashion anymore?Skinny jeans aren't in fashion anymore?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7188696.post-73573002245426971472008-04-15T19:15:00.000+01:002008-04-15T19:15:00.000+01:00But I'm not a proper Londoner!

I don't know if Noel Fielding could be considered a celebrity anyway (only about five people and the London Lite seem bothered).<BR/><BR/>I mentioned what you said about Flickr video because it's all people seem to talk about on that site.

(Edinburgh only has 2 celebrities, and I'm not sure if JK Rowling spends much time here any more. The other is Dylan Moran.) You should regard it as an insult if people tell you of celebrity sightings because it means they think you are not a proper Londoner.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, what were you saying about me on Twitter? That particular timewaster is blocked at my work for some insane reason (but even without it you can assume I'm procrastinating on the internet).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
