Pre-Mastermind Post

There's something not right with my computer. Spent ages dealing with 'infections' whatever they are and even now things are still not quite right. So if I disappear you'll know my intertubes are infested with the nasties!

On a lighter note, it's the weekend in about 5 hours and I will be donning a made-for-Glo-hat, courtesy of my sister-in-law the very talented Mrs Nof. Whether a picture will appear I just don't know, it depends on my eyes. Having had the most latest of nights last night (Mr H. not falling in till nearly 11) I am not at my bestist...
But, if after skating around Southend tomorrow I feel up to parading in front of a camera, I will post a pic. Of me in a hat. Or two...

On an even lighter note, went to the pics on Wednesday to see 'Daybreakers'. It is a film about vampires and stars the always creepy Sam Neil and Willem Dafoe.
Cinematography was brilliant, script good, acting good, wardrobe excellent. Loved the clothes, a mishmash of 1930's gangsters, cool cops and eco nutters. The most remarkable thing was that it had echoes of Fritz Lang's Metropolis. Most impressive.
There were some visually stunning scenes... A huge armoured vehicle was dragging in its wake a moaning dying bunch of chained people who had been vampirized, and as they came out into the sunlight they exploded into blazing flames. I felt sorry for them. Quite impressive.
I'm looking forward to the sequel...

Talking of silly movies, 'Devils Advocate' is on tv tonight. The yellow toothed Al Pacino hams it up as Old Nick, the lead girl has her head shorn which results in the memorable line from Keanu Reeves..."That's not a hairstyle, that's trauma"
Or something like that...
Utter Hollywood hokum at its finest. I seem to remember there are a lot of weird birds in it also. Absolutely cannot watch it though because it's on too late for me, but will record it so I have something gross for the weekend!


Figuring large this weekend:
Beansprouts.
