zotzLast night I went to the cinema with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
surje, gothslut and deliberateblank to see The Hours (a truly excellent film - I won't review it because I'm sure you've all been told far too many times why you should love it. Can I just say that it's a tragedy that there's only one Best Actress Oscar per year?) and the new Alex Cox film, The Revenger's Tragedy.
This is Very Much an Alex Cox film. Energetic, heavy-handed and chaotic - in various ways exactly the opposite of The Hours, which is subtle and controlled throughout. Derek Jacobi and Eddie Izzard were both impressive, but obviously Christopher Ecclestone walked off with it - well, asking him to do a Grim Northern Bastard is hardly casting against type, is it?
Today I used the nearest lift to our office for the first time. Usually I walk up the side of the building or use the stairs, but I was in the middle of a chat. It was pointed out to us lately that this lift has a problem. It forgets which floor it's at, and then refuses to answer requests until it has sunk on its hydraulics onto its bottom rest, which can take a few hours.
A lift which gets confused and sulks? Douglas Adams would be proud.
Captain's log, supplemental:
I've just realised that my hair's almost long enough. The plan, of course, is to grow it long enuogh that I can have a Leningrad Cowboys quiff - defined here as being one I can't actually reach the end of. I seem to only be about three inches short of this, which is a lot closer than I had thought. I have the black suit, so in due course I'll be looking for dark shades and winklepickers . . .
