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 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.
