I finally saw Somewhere the other day and though it was just alright. I know it’s meant to a critique of that lifestyle but shit, it still could have had a bit more happening.

Ricky Gervais may have a sordid past with a failed pop group. But hey he was giving it a go. I think he’s quite bright, here’s a recent essay he wrote on atheism. A Holiday Message from Ricky Gervais: Why I’m An Atheist Why don’t you believe in God? I get that question all the time. I always try to give a sensitive, reasoned answer. This is usually awkward, time consuming and...

I just read the greatest Clint Eastwood quote: I always wanted to spend my twilight years being regarded as a grizzled embittered curmudgeonly old bastard, but instead it’s all goddam lifetime achievement awards and the French adding me to their Legion of Honour. Have none of these assholes seen ‘Paint Your Wagon’ or ‘Space Cowboys’? I used to co-star with an orangutan for Christ’s sake!’ ...

Finally saw the first moving images of the Tree Of Life, it’s a shitty cam version but it doesn’t matter. It’s only a couple of minutes but you can see the tone of it. Apparently the trailer’s going to be attached to prints of Black Swan, so we’ll have to wait for that to see it properly. I don’t think i’ve ever been so excited about a movie. Looks like...
