...Time is going quite fast at the moment, but i don't mind, as this time of year is far from my favourite.
Seen a few films recently, on DVD we watched the Ang Lee version of Sense and Sensibility, which is delightful and funny and clever, and stays true to the spirit of the book. We also watched Stranger than Fiction, which is just awful and should be avoided at all costs!
At the cinema we say a preview showing of Juno, an unlikely comedy about a teenage pregnancy. It is very witty, very slick and very quirky. It is by far my favourite film of the year so far, and I would be suprised if we see much better this year on the comedy front!
I am very tempted to go and see Cloverfield for a laugh, but is it worth the £7 ticket price at the Vue?
The whole SPCK saga has had a few developments, a few shops suddenly closed with sackings by email. In Exeter there has been another resignation (she posted a note on Facebook today) and opening hours have been vastly cut (ironically they are shutting Sundays... I am speechless!) and stock is still very very low with no new titles on display (apart from a handful of scary anti-Islamic books). After the Radio 4 report at the end of last year I know there are several newspapers and media organisations who are following the story, and as usual you can stay in touch with events on Daves Blog.
