Yesterday i went to see the Ian Dury biopic. It was pretty amazing really. Andy Serkis as Ian was absolutely fantastic, and i was very impressed with the prosthetics or cgi they used on his wonky leg. It was just beautiful to look at, especially the 'imaginary' scenes in the abandoned cinema, which were full of glitter and sparkle and victoriana and the amazing Peter Blake titles and animations that ran throughout.
It was one of those films that is both very sad and also kind of joyous. It's made me and Claire want to join a big crazy rock n roll posse and has made me very reminiscent of my lame punk days when i would go around loving the blockheads, particularly 'hit me with your rhythm stick' without any knowledge of what 'rhythm stick' was slang for. Ah the good old days when i wasn't born.
But if you're not remotely interested in Ian Dury i wouldn't recommend it. It is a really good story i guess.
I'm rubbishly poorly at the moment. Nothing serious of course but my whole head aches and i have a cold and a raw sore throat and am just constantly tired no matter how much i've slept.
We are having parts of the house decorated, the paint fumes aren't helping but the walls are now a light lime green and i really like it.
