Ah, Brazil. I've always liked that film a lot. I suggested we all watched it, when it was on TV a couple of Christmases ago. Within 10 minutes literally everyone had left the room. Same happened with Life Aquatic wSZ a couple of years before that...

Seems you have that in common with most of my extended family.


Actually... in most Wes Anderson films, not much stuff actually "happens" really. Quirky character based films, often without a traditional story arc. So I can kind of understand the "what-the-hell-is-this-crap" reaction.

You've done that one before!


But yeah, it's a line that I would have found very useful on a few occasions in my twenties.


Not.

I was on a train sharing a table with a couple of squaddies last week. They discussed various technical inaccuracies within that film - and then moved onto reminiscing about a drinking game they'd played which involving vomiting into a bucket and drinking it.


You meet such interesting people on public transport.



Brazil.. that perennial Christmas family favourite. One of mine though.

Saw it in January. Fantasy ending and a daughter wishing her father could fly despite the tell tale background noises. Really good film about people.

Saw Legend tonight.


Recognised the Ivy House. Didn't realise it was shot there. Now see I had an email from ivyhouse saying they are doing a screening on 23 Sept.

    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided. 
    • does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
    • MaryT, I’ve contacted the Dulwich Hill councillors several times in recent years, always copying them both in. I have never had an acknowledgment from Jon Hartley (not even an automated response or out-of-office) nor had any response or engagement from him regarding the issue raised.   On each occasion, only Maggie Browning responded (she uses an out-of-office if she is away). The last time, I received no response from either for 3 months, until Maggie Browning emailed me to apologise for not responding and asking if the problem had been resolved.
    • The  Kwasi effect is being considered.
