I think it's pretty clear which side the Lord's on, Barrington.

Though Monte Carlo Or Bust features two most Barry actors in the form of Peter Cook and Terry Thomas, neither of them played the character Barrington. Shame. Still rather whizzing fun, though.

As is Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, which is even more gloriously dumb than its predecessor. It makes only the barest pretence at a plot, owing more to pantomime or revue as a loosely linked series of fun setpieces. And it's when it does try to be a conventional film that it begins to falter, perhaps because in these sequences the pretty girls are joined by Demi Moore, one of those people who has spent huge amounts of money in the search for beauty without ever quite understanding it.

Also read the much-lauded Herobear And The Kid. Whichever one of the blurbs described it as 'the comic equivalent of a hug' was right on the money, but though heartwarming, it's far too 'I learned something today' didactic to be the new Calvin & Hobbes so many people want it to be.

Everybody's Working For The Weekend

In anticipation of much jollity at tonight's kitty_collar karaoke (World's End, Stroud Green Road, from 830pm), and mindful of how much holiday I have left to take this year, I shan't be at work tomorrow, so if you wish to contact me, telephone. I shall see many of you later, or at the commemorative drinks for puzzled_anwen tomorrow, but if I do not, have fun nonetheless.

Oh, and is anyone going to Jet Black & Bleached this Friday?

Mellow fruitfulness

The light in Pimlico is beautiful today, particularly in Warwick Square. I could have stood there transfixed by the shimmer on the trees for hours.
Except I always think that, and I never can. Even if mundane considerations such as getting back to work don't intervene directly, there's still that nagging sense that Things Need To Be Done because we only have so much time.
The thing I'm most looking forward to about heaven is being able to sit and stare at things for as long as they deserve.

I normally avoid this sort of thing but the people* wanted to know (Meme Nonsense)
