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 someone comments. 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 grown up. 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.
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.
