To See or Not to See

[liadnan]

I was going to go and see To Kill a King tonight, partly in some kind of perverse desire to not be going to see The Matrix Reloaded. Obviously I shall go and see that eventually, though I've heard many bad things about it (or things that seem bad to me: I'm sceptical about films that try self-conciously to be Philosphically Deep, too often they end up being turgid, boring and the philosophy is fairly basic stuff anyway). TkaK has also had shite reviews actually, but it's still higher on my to see list, along with I Capture the Castle and the Helena B-C thing, than MR. Anyway, Steph just called me to say she was ill, so it'll have to be another night.

Vaguely thinking about the good read books still. I was thinking about working out what my personal favourite 100 books were, but it varies, and it's too much work, frankly. And I've been working on a tax planning job all day which has given me a blinding headache. What evil bastard at Channel 4 decided to put Six Feet Under on opposite 24 by the way? I really need a video recorder.

Doubt it'll get a US release to be honest. Though I was surprised to see 28 days later did (great visually, bit lacking in originality plotwise I thought). Is about English Civil War. Tim Roth as Cromwell, Dougray Scott as Fairfax, Rupert Everett as Charles I and Olivia Williams as Lady Fairfax.
