Your reward is to be the first to read the opening paras of my Bill Smith article in the next Fellrunner...
Joseph Heller the author of Catch22, which was first published in 1961 and has now sold over ten million copies, was once asked why he had not published anything nearly as good in his later writing career.
To which his famous response was “But who has?”
Orson Welles made Citizen Kane, which is consistently and correctly voted by writers on cinema to be the greatest movie ever made, when he was 26 and then spent the next 45 years in artistic decline.
So...there you have it. One of the joys of youth is that there are so many things you will still be able to experience for the first time.

Lake Tahoe [2008] directed by the talented young Mexican Fernando Eimbcke.
Initially a pretty mundane story about a young man who crashes his car and his journey to get it fixed meeting various characters along the way. About half way through though you find out the reasons for his apparent "spaced out" look and without spoiling the plot I will leave it at that but a lot of the camera shots and the main characters emotional state are reflected in the way the film is put together up to this point. Apart from a car shot the camera only really moves once independently in the whole film and the rest of the time its fixed with people wandering in one side of the screen and exiting the other side. I didn't like the "cut to black" shots much although I know some directors use them to show passage of time (in this case possibly emotional blackouts as well?) but after a while it started to annoy me. On the whole though I enjoyed it.
Didn't catch this last night, but I've seen pretty bad reviews. However anything with Amber Heard in is definitely worth a watch.Got The Informers ready to V+ this Thursday of Film4. On about 11.15.
Bret Easton Ellis screenplay, Kim Basinger & Mickey Rourke reunited
Might be worth a punt.
Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol at the IMAX in Bradford. Prepare to have your socks blown off.
And at the same place, the 6 minute IMAX preview for the next Batman film (the Dark knight rises) was just awesome
So much so, that I bought the last batman for £5 at Sainsburys in order to prepare for the screening of the new one! I just hope that I don't get such bad vertigo as I did during Mission Impossible

just watched Source Code
complete nonsense, but entertaining enough and surprisingly touching near the end, plus mercifully short at about 1:25 (had to sit through 2:45 of Transformers 3 the other day :w00t: )
"there can only be one....." ?
Bought the boxed set of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl who kicked the Hornets nest. Includes bonus disc of the second trilogy, The Girl who prefered Lakeland Races, The Girl who favoured the Three Peaks and The Girl who couldn't give a monkey's which races she did as long as her sports bra fitted nicley.
Seriously though, half way through the first film, and very gripping, dark and gritty. Even has an English audio option so don't have to faff around with subtitles.
Great set of films, but Steve you aren't doing them justice with the awful dubbed english.
