Business as usual

January 31st, 2007

Business as usual This post has funky music! has a short note about a Dutch footballer recently spotted in Croydon. has a TGITC film review is 100% Bill free. (enjoy it while it lasts is what I’d say). (I really tried)

One common problem – Love … I felt slightly out of place and several people in the queue looked weird at me. And some asked me if I was sure I was in the right queue, was I really going to watch this film? And I said yes.

An inconvenient truth by far the most terrifying film you will ever see

Bill Nighy, the Opie way

January 29th, 2007

Bill the opie way is currently residing other places… And that was all she could come up with after a weekend in silence. Will it ever stop? Nope. Get used to it. It took me a couple of hours to work on, but I really like this one. What amazes me about this type of [...]

Imagine I don’t know what it is, but if my horoscope today (Friday that is – wait a minute – since when did I start believing those things – well since they started writing thing like these) writes a fine mist has settled over your brain and your thoughts are not clear than that is [...]

Ode to the Heart and the Eyes

January 25th, 2007

Ode to The Eyes And funky specs.

Snow in London View from my morning train … What a pleasant surprise when I walked out of the door this morning. While I was expecting palm trees to be popping out of the ground soon, London is a bit white in stead. And it’s amazing to watch the differences between a city like Aarhus [...]

The Oscars

January 23rd, 2007

My completely unimportant opinion of who/what I would like to win on the list of official Oscar Nominations.

Sexy boys

January 23rd, 2007

AIR – sexy boys … If you thought that flying far to watch Bill Nighy was a first time silly action, think again. I flew to an iceberg (in Greenland) to see a concert of a band I (still) like, and have flown to London more than once to see them there too. And beside [...]

Everything is bloody marvelous

January 22nd, 2007

Bloody marvelous indeed And no it’s not a relationship thing. I think. What I need and am not getting? Oh, don’t get me started …

Venus – a review (9.5/10)

January 21st, 2007

Peter O’Toole in Venus Venus Peter O’Toole, the man is 75, and for me this is the man deserving the Oscar for best Actor this year. It’s really delightful that “older” (what is “older” anyway) actors are doing so well at the moment. Judi Dench, Meryl Streep, Hellen Mirren, Bill Nighy, Hugh Laurie all are [...]

Babel – review (10/10)

January 20th, 2007

Babel Babel (official site) Highly anticipated, surrounded with much Oscar buzz, just collected a Golden Globe for best Film and very much hyped. Most of the times that ends in disappointed when you finally get to see it in the cinema. But not this time. This is film making from the heart, and if this [...]

10 people died because of the storm here in the UK yesterday. The train traffic was disrupted in London because of it, but I somehow managed to move around it all. One of the men who died, died in Shropshire. Which made me think about Oliver Lucas in The Vertical Hour again, as he lived [...]

Tea Challenge

January 18th, 2007

If you thought Tea wasn’t a big thing here in the UK, think again. If you thought that deciding who should make the next cup isn’t a big thing here at work, think again too. Knowing that asking it the normal (verbal) way only results in an even longer wait for a cup, one of [...]

My name is XXX and I am contacting you on behalf of XXX Productions: the largest independent television company outside London. I am interested in speaking to you with regards to a documentary we are making about Tom Cruise. We’d like to discuss your [...]

A man and his globe

January 16th, 2007

Bill Nighy and his Golden Globe Ooooh, indeed. Today I really don’t care. If I would write that you could not hear a big roar and Woohoo when I heard the news on BBC radio this morning while still laying in bed, I would be lying. A very big woohoo indeed, and an apology to [...]

Where do you want me to go

January 15th, 2007

Way out Standing in the subway, the shuffle came up with John Barry’s James Bond theme on my mp3 player. Funny how all passengers suddenly seem to become part of a film, and how many people actually looked like Russian spies. Or was it my imagination again. Anyway, I hopped off at Bond Street. And [...]

The Last King of Scotland (IMDB), is based on the novel by Giles Foden. It tells the story about young Scottish doctor Nicolas Garrigan (James McAvoy), who through a bizarre twist of fate becomes the personal doctor of dictator Idi Amin (a very scary Forest Whitaker) in Uganda. The film follows Garrigans work as Amin’s [...]

When do you admit it?

January 14th, 2007

Bussing I step in and I notice that something is different with this bus. The chairs have another colour, and it looks like a newer model. Well they have to spent the excessive amounts of money we pay them to travel around in London on something I thought, they have upgraded the buses on line [...]

The girl with kaleidoscope eyes

January 12th, 2007

New York State of my mind This is what New York looks like in my mind. Very colourful, like a soap bubble I have to protect from bursting. It’s also what I (or about 12 of me) look like in New York if you look carefully, I’m standing somewhere on 23rd Street, where this picture [...]
