15July2006 [directLink] [weekly]
- watched the first part of Bleak House; it’s setting up rather nicely, complete with nasty Dickensian exposition; but I’m not sure I can stand a whole season of it; perhaps the ABC will broadcast a couple episodes each week to speed things up
- watched Pitch Black; cheap thriller but the suspense was remarkable
- watched 36 Quai des Orfèvres; not a bad French police thriller; they were doing rather interesting things with the soundtrack, making the mumbled dialogue rather difficult to follow; I caved and switched on subtitles 20 minutes in
- watched Good Night, and Good Luck; frightening
- watched Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang; entertaining, funny, but probably won’t stand up to a repeat viewing
- watched Lord of War; blows things up and makes you think
- finished reading Pattern Recognition; still one of the best books I’ve read; a beautiful line right at the end:
she might have told them she was weeping for her century, though whether the one past or the one present she doesn’t know.
