I HAVE FOUND A WELSH ROCK BAND.

And that really does deserve capitals. Because they're Welsh, and they're really good. The Manic Street Preachers. And they're socialists.

I may have discovered a new rock love to - well, never replace the Libertines - but perhaps to make up a bit for their loss.

All right, and look, I'm determined to see A Very Long Engagement while it's still playing in American theatres. They may have robbed me of Bad Education, but I'll be damned if I end up passing this up too. Ok. So, who wants to see it with me? It's playing at the State Theatre in Ann Arbor, which is rather far away, but... it's not playing at another theatre within twenty-five miles, at least not according to imdb.com, which tends to be the final source in such matters.

Ok. So if you're up for a trip to Ann Arbor to experience a great masterpiece of world cinema... I mean a really really good movie... then let me know, ok?

Because I want to, and I'll have much better luck convincing my mom to drive me to Ann Arbor if she thinks it'll be an opportunity for me to 'socialize'.

The family has not been entirely sure what to do with this new-found apparent addiction to subtitles. My dad watches everything with me, not out of any particular interest in foreign films, but because he watches anything that moves. Consequently he's now gotten used to this - to the point that he watched Troy with the subtitles on.

And nobody is accusing Brad Pitt of having anything but an American accent.
