2005. Back in Malmö after 10 days at the summer house. Having no tv, or very little, was a real blessing but we nevertheless found ourselves being sucked into watching the unfolding nightmare in Asia. Terrible.

recent thoughts: Da Vinci Code, being made into a film with Tom Hanks. We'll come back to this.
recent movie: Extended version of King Arthur, 5.5 out of 10, I think, though the juries still out. What killed it for me was Clive Owen being acted off the screen by Ray Winstone, most of the other actors, trees, horses, and just about everything else which appeared in the frame with him.
book: more Malazan action but also Peter F Hamiltons Pandoras Star. Also The Adventure of English by Melvyn Bragg.

at some point soon I'll be setting up another blog which will have the first few chapters of my horribly derivative fantasy novel. You have been warned. Working title is 'Struggle Below - one mans battle with prunes'.


any film which has zombies and the line 'any of you cunts want a drink?' is a winner......brilliance, haven't looked around this site much but sure to be amusing...Shaun of the Dead
