Writer on just about everything related to the arts. Keen on photography too.
Rewatched it last night. Still amazing.

I *love* this film with all my heart.

Your final sentence says it all, Dom. The entire post is a pretty good summation of Typical Boro.

Why am I reminded of Steve Martin’s alternative tirade at Edie McClurg in Planes, Trains…? Which also reminds me, my annual viewing of the film is coming up.

Hi Dom. I think there is another way to look at it. The nineteen shots show that even though we are missing chances, we’re creating them - we’re not only leaving a big margin for error, we’re also in a good position to improve. I think if we stopped creating as many, that would be more of a problem.

I don’t think I would be able to rewatch the first myself. I really wasn’t keen on it. I’ll give the second a chance, though - the title song, at the very least, is wonderful and perhaps my favourite song in the whole of Wicked.

Keep at it, sir. Your words are beyond invaluable.

One of the best, without question.

Oh, the CGI in Ghost is bad. Very bad.

She’s so good in it.

“Up to your old ‘Excalibur’ tricks again, *eh*, Centauri?”

He’s barely been on the screen and already Dan O’Herlihy is commanding it, with Grig visibly looking out for Alex minutes, even seconds, after meeting him. It’s a great moment.

Somewhere that’s Greene… couldn’t help it, sorry! Love that song, that scene and the film so much.
