What are you watching?

Tough week at work meant most nights I just chilled with a movie this week, manage to catch After Hours, which has actually a pretty good wardrobe for the main character and catched that New York mid-80's art world/young professional crossover look quite well I thought. His suit actually looks a bit like the wash n' wear one I got of TJ, although I think mine is more early 70's I think they still look similar.

anyway the film has a great dream/nightmare like quality, a bit like The Hourglass Sanatorium, but less trippy.


And as for tonight I thought I'd watch The Diner cause I never have. No opinion as of yet.

I like After Hours, it has that quality of a dream you just can't wake up from. One of those that seem to gon all night but probably only last a few seconds.

Enjoy The Diner.

Re: What are you watching?

TV wise I'm watching The Wire just now from the very start. About 5 episodes into season 2 and forgot how good it was. I'm as, if not more, gripped than I was when I first watched it.

Lester Freamon is the man. He has a little more style than the rest of the cast too. Which is saying very little I know but still, he's a cool motherfucker.

Porn mainly, to be honest.


Too high above the waist was the badge of the hopeless nerd/engineering student.  High waters were also not cool, the right length is the right length and you either grasp it, have the eye, or you don't.

After Hours was a good film, as I remember, haven't seen it since my sixth form days.

I see that Alex Cox's Repo Man is being reissued with documentaries and additional scenes, that's worth watching again.

I thought I'd check out MS' Made in Milan too. Nicely shot. But when Giorgio Armani talks to his models when looking at them  in the mirror you soon realise this film was a blueprint to any make-up or haircare product advertisement for the last 20 years.

And it is funny you should say that about After Hours, after I watched it, I fell asleep and had the weirdest dream, then woke up realising the film had to be written from a dream experience. I suppose there is only so many times you can get away with writing films based on dreams, but I like how After Hours ties itself up at the end, and you soon stop judging the film as being real, and you literally end up appreciating the dream-like logic of it all.

For me the Wire still hasn't been matched by the now ever popular American mega-series. Although I like Walking Dead, not yet got into Broadwalk Empire.

Ha! My uncle who was and remains a confirmed batchelor once warned me, that the first victim of marriage is your record collection. And there's a fair bit of truth in that, unless you're willing to fight and stand your ground.

My CD and record collection is indeed by genre: modern jazz, trad jazz, latin jazz, big band, bossa-nova, Americana/Roots, country outlaw, rock and pop. No one goes near, except me, it is a sacrosanct shrine to good taste.

And of course, there's ska and reggae. And a twist of classical.

I watched two episodes of The New Twilight Zone last night on the Horror Channel. So awful, they were good.

The London Nobody Knows.

James Mason wanders round London in 1967, looking at the architecture and the habits underclass. Pretty interesting, and mildly depressing.

Ha! I recommend green tea, and work related stress. Watch those pounds just drop off.

Re: What are you watching?

After Spain booted out the French last night, I watched "The Mission", starring De Niro, and Jeremy Irons. The basic plot is about the 18th century Jesuits attempt to build a mission in South America.

What a film indeed, very moving.

All coupled with Morricone's thought provoking score.

Duck: "Just put it on my bill"
