Newspapers and Movies

I can't remember how many years ago it was, since I last grabbed a Saturday Guardian enabling me to spend an hour or so leafing through it and it's various supplements whilst eating a bacon sarnie the next morning.

Yesterday I was food shopping and spotted the weekend edition of the LA Times, a two inch thick bundle of semi-broadsheet newspaper with supplements and inclusions.

So a couple of bacon sarnies and a reading-fest was the order of this morning. Whilst the bacon over here isn't good, buying the leanest thick cut stuff one can find makes a reasonable substitute. The paper too, whilst not being the Guardian, is a reasonably good read, with plenty of interesting supplements.


If nothing else, it enabled me to realise how much of the movie world I have been missing out on. From todays Arts and Film section alone, I have enough "want to see" films to justify making a list (in no particular order):

1) Eastern Promises


2) In the Valley of Elah


3) Trade


4) The Kingdom


5) Into the Wild


6) The Assasination of Jesse James....


7) The Brave One


8) 3:10 to Yuma
