Hallam Foe

I just got back from another screening of Hallam Foe. It was even better the second time ’round.

Please. Please please please please. PLEEEEEAAASE go see Hallam Foe in the cinema. It really is just one of the most moving and beautiful films I’ve seen in a very long time. And more perfectly British (Scottish) films like it need to continue to be made. Also, Jamie Bell is just remarkable in the film. Please, everyone, more Jamie Bell in the world. And if Sophia Myles (Dr. Who- ‘The Girl in the Fireplace‘) isn’t made a huge star after the film then the Universe is far more fucked up than I believe it to be.

I can’t wait to see the video from the evening… Colin, will you edit yourself into it? ;)

    Gah! I was invited to this too and then got floored with work so couldn’t make it :/ Would have been nice to catch up with you.

    Glad you had a blast though. I’ll be sure to do my bit in spreading the word.

    I will if it comes to the US. We have not had the best luck lately getting British films. :(

    It was, indeed, superb. Inviting a bunch of free-thinking, beholden-to-no-one bloggers to a preview, with no strings attached, demonstrates quite a leap of faith… and I can now see how that faith was justified. Extraordinary, compelling performances from Jamie Bell and Sophia Myles, whose characters subvert all your initial pre-conceptions. Great soundtrack as well. (Orange Juice! Sons and Daughters! Juana Molina! A new song from Franz Ferdinand!) I wish everyone involved all the best.

    And I thought I enthused about the film!

    Jeez I think I met someone who can outdo me on the passion front. I just dig a woman who begs though!

    I concur 10 million% Of the many great bits about Hallam Foe is that I still find myself recalling scenes. Bit like finding a bit of juicy beef stuck in your teeth hours or days after a fantastic meal.It is a reminder of an occassion well spent.

    Don’t brush your teeth after seeing the movie. Wait a coupla days but meantime pick out the morsels and recall a great movie.

    A little late on the commenting front on this one, but I’ve just got back from the last showing of Hallam Foe at the Curzon…. I’d been meaning to see it since it came out at the end of August, but things kept conspiring against me….

    I’m so glad I did manage to make it along - a fantastic film, and definitely one I’ll be finding on DVD when it comes out.

  • The BNP's Membership List -

    In case you've not already seen, the British Nationalist Party's membership list (*edited to add link to new source*) has been leaked online. For non-Brits, this is a White Supremacist "political" party in the UK. Everyone on that list stands for everything I stand against.

    Phew! I can finally say something about this. Brian was up for Dawkins' job, down to the final three (or was it four?!), but didn't get it. And the winner is...

    A couple people in the comments have said they think Brian should take over from Richard Dawkins when he retires this year. If you're on Facebook, you can join the Brian Cox For Dawkins' Job group. Not started be me incidentally.

  • Observer Article -

    Honestly, this isn't a blog just about Brian. That would be really weird... but... indulge me just a bit longer.

    Some of you may have seen the article about Brian in the Observer today. Now, you guys are intelligent and realise that not everything you read in a newspaper is accurate. This was made absolutely clear to me this morning as I was sitting in my bathrobe, hair all over the place, barefoot, all coffee breath, unshowered and read, "he married his American wife, glamorous TV presenter Gia Milinovich, in secret." :-/

    Ah well...
