Bob called me while I was drinking a juice in the Caffe Nero in Hammersmith. I walked out and tried to spot him. He told me to walk towards the tube station. I walked and looked. He was in his car he said. I scanned the area. Lots of cars around Hammersmith. I saw a [...]

If there is one thing I learn it’s that nothing is as unpredictable as the process of making a short film. It might be back on track again now, and I am again aiming for a shoot at the end of August. If all goes well, I am going to take a week off there [...]

Wrong Day Wrong Time

I just took this picture, on my way back to the office after lunch in a posh burger bar on Portobello Road. It struck me how appropriate it was. This is the tape you get taped on your garbage if you happen to put it out on the street on the [...]

Don’t Panic

But I am trying to fight against it!

WALL-E and Billy Mac

The very good
First a recommendation: WALL-E. Go see it. It’s a 10/10 film. It’s clever, funny, very actual, and it’s a roboromcom! Wall-E is such a cool character that I took the bus from the cinema to Hamley’s and brought him home with me. See how much a film can say without [...]

Lovers at St. Pancras

I met with a potential assistant yesterday, we got along quite well, so I guess he is the person who will help me not going mental.

The fear of the Cookie

And I forgot to add: I need a dog as well!
I feel like running away.
I have a meeting with a potential assistant this evening. And also hope to have a meeting with a potential assistant producer very soon. See, I am actually working on it!
And I will soon start [...]

Portland Bill

I think it is fair to conclude that the English south coast is beautiful no matter where you go. The same goes for the light houses!

Playing with Words

It’s popping up everywhere now, and it is intriguing. Feed your feed (or just a stack of words) into Wordle and see how beautiful words can be. (Unfortunately the page won’t let you save it as an image, but you can save it as PDF and blow it up and put it on [...]

It must be a perfect moment to have a post about The Girl In The Cafe on tour, seeing as another important G8 meeting is held in Japan as we speak.
Now just in case you don’t remember what it was all about, here is a message from your Uncle Bill, as he can explain it [...]

Cinema

It was a pretty rainy weekend in London this weekend so the cinema was the obvious place to hide. I do admit that I spend time in the cinema on sunny days too. But lately my sunny weekends tend to be spend on the coast.

Bill Nighy as Lawrence in the Girl in the Cafe

Because he is such a great and groovy and intelligent man. Because it is such an important issue. Because it is so related to The Girl in the Cafe - we do a Bill post. How long has it been anyway!
Bill Nighy is currently lobbying with [...]

Love+Rock: Speed dial no. 2

» Send it here

Entertainment weekly has published a list with 100 new classic movies, and it did not take long before that was turned into a meme. I could not not do this one, especially because there are so many movies I have seen on this list. So here we go, the bold ones I have seen. And [...]

Seeing as this is a year without any Bill Nighy films hitting the cinema (So tough! But next year there will be five!), we have to make the best of what we do get. That is not too hard really, as in 122 days we will get Daniel Craig in the new Quantum of Solace [...]
