You know, it’s always amazing to me, what happens on Movie Nights, it really does …
Tonight … ?
Tonight Movie Night Adrian and I have been happily watching the film, Newsmakers, the 2009 remake of 2004 Hong Kong action film, Breaking News.
And, co-incidentely, the pair of us have been bag-sitting for Kevin and Sarah D.
That’s the bag, at the bottom, there …
Sarah’s due to pick it up, any minute …
Lord know’s why, but I’ll be asking, in case you’re wondering …
At any rate, as you’ve probably worked out what film Adrian and I have just caught: as I think I’ve already said, the 2009 film, Newsmakers.
Or Goryachie Novosti, if you’d like it in Russian … !
I’m burbling …
Aren’t I … ?
At any rate, Newsmakers follow a Moscow policeman — Major Smirnov, played by Andrey Merzlikin — after a drug burst goes wrong.
Headquarters response? Suggested by a young hotshot, from the department’s PR people … ?
Is to turn the whole thing into a reality TV show …

Now, Newsmakers isn’t a major art-house piece full of doom, gloom and darkness.
Quite the reverse of Night Watch, in that regard!
But Newsmakers is entertaining fun: despite being maybe uncomfortably close to the media circus that surrounded the the Cumbrian and Raoul Moat events.
And well worth catching.

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.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
