Betrayal, Donmar - London

Yesterday I saw Harold Pinter’s Betrayal in the Donmar. And even though I am getting more and more depressed about the fact that people in the books I read and the people in the plays I watch don’t seem to be able to not betray their partners (what’s going on in the […]

Was 12 times enough? Well, forrr now-uh.

Was 12 times enough? Well, forrr now-uh.
First I saw Davy Jones on stage in New York. He was awesome. He was great. And cool. And nice. And handsome. And voicilicious.
Then I saw Lord Beckett in the National Theatre in London. He was fantastic too.
16 days from now I will […]

La Vie En Rose (2007)

In between this summer’s blockbusters there seems to be a continuous flow of fantastic French film in the cinema as well. (Go see Not Here To Be Loved and Tell No One if you haven’t done so already). La Vie En Rose is probably the best of them until now.

Object Linking and Embedding
That’s a boring programmers term, forget about it it’s boring.
From today on it means:
Overhead Line Equipment : Overhead lines or overhead wires are used to transmit electrical energy to trams, trolleybuses or trains at a distance from the energy supply point.
That’s a boring railway term, but it’s […]

Ocean’s 13 - George Clooney

Ocean’s 13 - George Clooney
A bit of a messy post, with a lot of groovy “boys” in it.

When I woke up this morning I felt very weird. Weird that I didn’t need to go to work, weird wondering what I have done - quitting it, and well, my head is just still a bit confused about what is happening in my life at the moment. It will get better soon I’m sure.
A […]

So you feel absolutely knackered with a headache and a soar throat but you don’t want to call in sick in your last week at your current job. You drag yourself to work, and after an hour the fire alarm goes. While enjoying the view from the 18th is great, walking down the stairs from […]

Are you prepared for what’s next … Davy Jones

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
Oh yeah.
Now we’re talking.

It might start to sound a bit pathetic now, my “I don’t like musicals” attitude and maybe I should alter it a little bit and say “I don’t like standard 13 in a dozen like musicals”.
I found an email in my inbox last week from a PR man connected to this musical and he made […]

First of all - I am incredibly pissed off about the fact that Bill Nighy isn’t even nominated for a Tony Award for his performance in The Vertical Hour. Extremely pissed off. I have no words for it really, if that wasn’t award worthy acting then I don’t understand a thing. Kevin Spacey (Moon for […]

I apologize.
For not being able to grow up.
Or on second thought -
I don’t.

Spider man 3

Spiderman 3
The first in a long row of blockbusters hitting a cinema near you this year is Spiderman 3. I loved Spiderman 1, was less enthusiastic about 2, and number 3, well …

This is England, too

About film, and real life that happens in front of your eyes.

Colours

3 easy steps to have me leave a concert (Tina Dickow) before it even started.

A bit about Bob, a bit about film, a bit about Steffen, a bit about Tina and a bit about postcards.

I saw Attempts on her life in the National Theatre last Thursday. After about 10 seconds in the play I realized I had seen this play before and I didn’t like it that time. I saw it in Aarhus performed by freshly graduated theatre actors. It wasn’t their fault I just have problems with modern […]

My break from the theatre has been long enough, I can’t just not go to the theatre because I don’t want to lose my memories of the Vertical Hour, so I went tonight. Unplanned, impulsive - business as usual.
And I know I said I hated musicals, I do, Spamalot was the exception. But I had […]

Subway Beijing

I’ll love you, dear, I’ll love you
Till China and Africa meet,
And the river jumps over the mountain
And the salmon sing in the street
I’ll love you till the ocean
Is folded and hung up to dry
And the seven stars go squawking
Like geese about the sky.
W. H. Auden

Ghost in the machine

Looking back, with my eyes closed, I have had 3 major inspirational influences in my life, which means that inside my head you can find 3 fairly large chunks of information from all three of them.
Steffen Brandt’s lyrics guided me through life in Denmark and they became the basis of my Danish […]

Don’t worry I won’t write that much about the play and Nighy, my review of The Vertical Hour from December still stands.
