I canna do the fantasy fairies and witches literature or film. Star Wars is a total mystery to be and I have no desire to have it otherwise. 

Give me a paperback tale concerning a twenty-something Nottingham bicycle factory worker with grease under his fingernails, a rebellious attitude to authority, and who lives for a weekend of beer and fornication. Sillitoe’s the boy. 

Ah good old Roger. His comedic songs on That's Life were essential Sunday night viewing.

I’ve met somebody who had never seen any of the LOTR films. WTF!!!!!?

Slept through the first two, at the now shut Lighthouse Cinema, Aberdeen.

Wife loves them, but very much a marmite thing, due to it being fantasy.

The film of this is the best adaptation of a book I have seen.

Albert Finney nails the part of Arthur Seaton.

I might watch it this evening, and the early hours of tomorrow.

This box has many of the majors of “angry young men/new wave” [for that clumsy attempt at genrefication..] but it’s about 2.5 times the price I paid for it years ago.

Puzzle: were Rita Tushingham and Wilko Johnson - around 1974 - ever seen in the same room at the same time?

First the Belmont, then this.

Flashbacks to coming back after my uni placement to discover the palace, amadeus and Glow 303 were no more
