Davy You owe me your soul… When you are reading this, we are in the cinema. And we are watching, are you ready for this: Pirates of the Caribbean – At World’s End And I can hear you think: What?? No! No! No! NO! NO!! This can’t be true. Not that film again. You have [...]

He’s back I attended a Bafta screen writing session yesterday, so this post is about all the above, a lot about screen writing and film making too, and about the homecoming of Davy. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

“So …” Davy begins. “So” I say, knowing that something is coming. “How many pages have you written of your 90 page feature film script?” “Ehrm, well ….” “Ahrr, I thought so.” “Yeah, but you know, Dan and June … They hold my head hostage at the moment.” “You will be in trouble if you [...]

Davy’s Davy’s, London “I have been thinking and I know what I want now” he said. “Excellent” I said “what is it?” “I want to open my own restaurant” “What an absolute brilliant idea that is” I said. “You think so?” “Yes. You’re not moving out are you?” “No. So you’re fine with it then?” [...]

He has been asking, begging and nagging me for ages about going there, and what he demands .. “So, why exactly should we go there?” I asked him. “I can give you loads of reasons” he said.

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 [...]

If an idea is worth having once … Listen, this trip of yours …

Whitey If jet lag means an attention span of even less than 0.42 seconds, feeling hungry but not being able to eat, and having the feeling that someone put the wrong head on your body, then I am in the middle of one right now.

Merry Christmas! “Ingrid …” “Davy …., wow, how is New York? I look so much forward to see you again.” “New York is fantastic, you are going to love it, trust me. And I had a great sailing trip, I’ll tell you all about it when you get here.” “I can’t wait… I …” “But [...]

Daniel Craig Mr. Blue Eyes The first time I saw the new Bond was in Oxted cinema. Oxted is far, it’s even beyond the M25, which, for Londoners, nearly categorizes it as being on the country side. The idea was nice, seeing Bond in a small independent cinema away from the West End, and it [...]

A great place to be We wanted some Rock ‘n Roll, Davy and me, but the man in the TKTS booth said that the places left in the theatre were not particulary good ones. So we decided to drop it, and try to get cheap tickets for it on another day. No rush with this [...]

Brighton – all at sea Brighton – all at sea, a man, 2 dogs and a seagull I felt someone pulling my hair very gently. “Wake up now” he whispered in my ear.

Davy Jones – the arty way The proud pirate “These pictures on your wall, who is he?” “Oh, him. He is, well he’s someone, I admire. You are related to him did you know? And he has some Scottish blood in him too, half of it to be precise” “You’ve made a lot of artwork [...]

Mind the gap The cookie, which fitted well in the Love is Actually all around series made the day already brighter, yesterday. And then I got (t)his mail. Another response to my “who wants to drink a cup of coffee – but no romance” ad. And I don’t drink coffee, I drink tea. But that [...]

INT. LIVINGROOM – AFTERNOON I(NGRID) Hey Davy D(AVY) Ahrr yes? I. You and Slarti have been meeting quite a lot lately haven’t you ? D. Ahrr yes. I thought you liked him too? I. I do, I do. You two are not getting me in any trouble now do you?

Do not dig within 2 metres of this mast. I have some explaining to do, or “3 things – the sequel”.
