Re: Recently Watched Films 2020
I'm slowly but surely ploughing through the complete Ballard short stories - an enormous book - but none of them is a particularly pleasant read. Not a criticism, that - it's just his style, that dry, unforgiving prose, with characters who are rarely sympathetic, and often downright glacial. I thou...

Can't wait to read what you think of Tommy or Lisztomania or The Devils ! Oh, I just LOVE Peter Maxwell Davies' music in The Devils ! I remember, pre-Discogs days, going on the hunt for that recording, coming up with nothing. Still true, I fear. That really is a soundtrack begging to be issued, alo...

Splendid write-up - funny, I remember enjoying The Tenant last time we saw it (which was a loooong time ago). I should try again. Meanwhile, it's a shame that Walt doesn't post here anymore, as I recall he's a big fan of this. We've been around these bushes before, though - unlike you, I like Cul d...
