Something phallic

wow what a blunt title that is. This one is brought on by pd james, children of men, inspector dalgliesh mysteries, etc etc. Currently reading 'the lighthouse'. by currently, i mean its in my hand right now.

'to the right on a spur of rock stood the old lighthouse with its gleaming white walls topped by the red lantern enclosing the now defunct light, and elegant phallic symbol of the past, lovingly restored but redundant. Sometimes he found its symbolism uncomfortable.'

Eww Grosz


Watched La Haine today for the first time in 10 years, and as such the first time I could properly understand it. Good stuff.

Watched Cassandra's Dream, woody allen's latest. Meh. No sexual tension and colin farrell annoyed me a bit. Definitely the weak point in Allen's resurgence of the last 5 years.

I like interpol, really i do. It makes 'that eliot bastard' tolerable. Because really, to be fair, interpol are a joy division cover band that lifts eliot's text, or at least imagery. fun live band too. All black and blue and what not. Turn on the bright lights is defo classic-worthy. Daniel Kessler is good at what he does. Paul banks gets it done. Carlos D is funny.
