I had some hope it would be good as I quite enjoyed The Thin Red Line, but it isn't, and even Martin Sheen couldn't redeem it. Pass with a push.
I've got Elvis Costello's Brutal Youth (1994)
on loop today. It's kind of like his When I Was
Cruel (2002) with extra quirk. Sulky Girl,
You Tripped at Every Step, This is Hell, Kinder Murder
and 20% Amnesia are magic, and nothing is
crap. Amazing stuff. I really have no idea what he was thinking when he made
North.
With Grégoire and Kyle in the CS lunchroom. There's a
video projector up there now (recently installed, I believe), but the
controls are in a locked cupboard and so we couldn't use it. We ended up
borrowing another projector from Sibylle's office, and streaming it from
gungnir (defunct) over the wireless network. Quite schmick, in the end. I found it
vaguely amusing that Kyle couldn't convince his Apple PowerBook
to play it, and quite strange that my laptop gave me so little grief —
it's been a while since I've tried using the wireless card, and it never
worked well at CSE.
