Doomed, I tell you. Doomed.

I'm sure people my age aren't supposed to like Jeremy Clarkson quite this much.
Anyway, I meant to mention the cinema, specifically Inside Man (which wasn't set in a men's sauna) and V For Vendetta.
IM was very good. Chiwetel Ejiofor is fantastic, even without a skirt & whip, Clive Owen was pretty good, and Willem Dafoe superb in a small part. It's clever, understated and stylish, and I'm definitely adding it to my wish list.
V was better. I love Alan Moore's work (though I haven't read this one), I love his literary and historical references, and I love his style. I loved the number of British actors. I love Stephen Fry (always worth the price of admission, ridiculously overpriced snacks and petrol) and I loved how the police in a dystopian future drive Rovers... Yup, this one's going on my list as well, along with the book.
(I also love the MC12 on my calendar this month, but that's a tangent.)

Inside Man (which wasn't set in a men's sauna)
It could have been worse; Jeremy Clarkson in a men's sauna, for starters.

Date: 2006-04-11 02:13 am (UTC)I'd like to point out that Mr C. is NOT worth a stamp, but he is worth a sticky label 'cause, unlike stamps, they get cheaper the more you buy in one go. *nods*
Nice legs!
Date: 2006-04-10 11:29 pm (UTC)It tells of my nicotene deficiency, though, that I found the bit when he lit up almost irresistible. He also appeared to like being allowed to swear on the telly. Bless.
Nice legs! - Sorta. He was dressed at the time...
Date: 2006-04-11 02:22 am (UTC)Jeremy Clarkson should be made to giggle ALL DAY. EVERY DAY. It would cut his pie-related assassination attempts down to less than one a year because he'd be known as Jeremy-with-the-lovely-giggle. And people would like him. In the same way as they like Graham Norton and TUC biscuits with the cheesy filling. *nods*
Dude, when he lit up. So. Did. I. :-D
