Coming to you live from Oxford

Oct 20, 2007 11:25

I'm in an internet cafe just opposite Christ Church College, Oxford. My sis, it turns out, is working for a large chunk of this weekend, and so has left me to my own devices until 10 PM. I'm taking a break from wandering the streets, staring at moderately picturesque buildings.
A rather alarming thing happened to me after my last post on Friday. Ask me about it the next time you see me.*
Stardust was ace. Not the same as the book, but rather more filmic and retaining the vital fairy-tale feel of the original. The ghosts are great (including David Walliams, Rupert Everett, Jimmy Carr and that guy who plays Dr. Mac in Green Wing) and Robert De Niro actually manages a surprising departure from the roles he seems stuck in recently.

* Except for Dave & Kaye, whom I have already told about it.
