A blessing to yet again steal Graham Greene’s thing (writing about mass-market film for the Spectator). Tysm Gus Carter for the chance to do it! Read the article my dad is calling ‘very convincing, even though I don’t get most of the references’: Is Marvel finished?
Also:
Very angry about the Grammy thing but who isn’t. I actually think the last time the Grammys were correct was when Ray of Light scooped. They should exist to reward once-in-a-career artistic accomplishments and clearly they haven’t done since then
Loved Herzog’s Nosferatu at the BFI
Didn’t really love Borowczyk’s The Beast at the BFI. Prob the weirdest cinemagoing experience of my life chiefly because I had no idea it was going to be a porno and neither did anybody else in the audience. Left thinking I could never show my face there again (except I had Nosferatu tickets for the next day)
Am enjoying Against the Day, in fact feeling like it was written for me
