So, I have this really deeply ingrained tension - wanting to write fiction (novels, plays, short stories) but then recoiling because it feels somehow “unserious”. Constantly go back and forth.
Anyway, just discovered it’s £70 a ticket for Arcadia at the Old Vic, so am off to write a play…

Private Secretary: “So, Christopher Nolan will be showing you some rough footage of his adaptation of The Faery Queen. Then there’s a meet-and-greet with the Royal Ballet. French and Saunders want to discuss a new mentor programme. Then there’s the premiere of Michael B. Jordan’s new film.”

I watched this the other night for the first time.
Absolutely wonderful. Really good at showing the way corruption starts and spreads – both within organizations and in people’s souls.
Great performances all round, but I was always on the verge of crying whenever Paul Scoffield was on screen.

Unlikely to make my 37 / 37 – but it was nice to revisit. Maybe nearly thirty years since I last watched it.
Great concept, great score, great visuals. Kurt Russell will always be a star.
Plot holes you can drive an obelisk through, however.
