Hmmm …
You know, I’ve got to admit, I’m tired — you’d guessed that, if you’ve read the Teaser, today — but having mixed feelings.
Writing up today’s Teaser, I managed to hear the sad news that film composer, John Barry, died this morning.
Sad, that.
Especially when you consider the amount of films he composed for.
I can’t help me think it’s a sad loss.

But as a counterpoint to that … ?
I couldn’t help but notice that The King’s Speech — last British film to be funded by the UK Film Council — managed to bag quite a few gongs at the Screen Actor’s Guild over in the US, last night.
It’s also heavily tipped for both the Oscars and the BAFTAs.
Now, I know there’s a recession on.
I can’t help but know there’s a recession on.
But the fact that the coalition government has scrapped the body that funded it, when it’s capable of helping Brit-Flicks to do so well … ?
Well …
What can one say … ?

Post a Comment
I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
