Nobody cares, nobody is interested. Your attempts to launch a bun fight/point score/ do a gotcha have crashed and burned.

I care. Hence my question. I think it’s important to give awards based on merit. Tokenistic gestures get my goat.

That's great. I hereby award you a like.

Queer. I approached this with low expectations, primarily because Daniel Craig didn't seem an obvious or ideal candidate for this part, but I was more than pleasantly surprised, both with the film as a whole, and particularly by Craig's performance, which seemed credible enough and, especially at the end, actually quite moving. He was quite a revelation, to be honest. Drew Starkey in the main support role as his younger lover is also impressive. Although its scenes are overly stylized, I still liked the look of it, and I didn't feel that it dragged. I can't say how well it compares to the book as I haven't read it - although many years ago I read its predecessor, Junky, which I loved - but I plan to now.

What a strange little interlude.

I caught the Universal Theory a few weeks ago and had similar feelings. I’m not clever enough or at least my brain doesn’t work in the right way to understand the multiverse side of things but pleasing echoes of Hitchcock films like Spellbound and the first The Man Who Knew Too Much I thought plus enough dodgy blokes in trench coats and fedoras, and big shadows to fill one’s noir quota for the week.

I saw The Universal Theory this afternoon. Some of the physics in it was quite realistic. The scientists looked like photos that I have seen of physicists of that generation. I thought that it looked beautiful. When they were checking into the hotel, I thought that there was some unspoken tension with the hotel clerk that I thought might have something to do with the Second World War, and I thought that the story of what the physicists had done in the War was handled well. I thought that the men in the tunnels story was a little childish. I loved the multiverse stuff. Notice that in the narration at the end, there is evidence that the hero lives in an different universe to us.

The music was too intrusive at times, in the "action" scenes.
