MirrorMask

Ooooooo. Shiny.

Sensible criticisms? Not at this time. Gosh, it's just lovely. There was, I think, literally one moment when I went "cool set", and the rest of the time I was completely immersed. (It was a bit distracting trying to work out who was playing the sphinxes). I came out and was still mentally in that world for about 15 minutes, like after finishing reading a really good book. The visual stuff is probably the main thing about the film, but none of the writing or acting lets it down, and for heaven's sakes, the visual stuff is so. Cool.

London folks, MirrorMask is on at the ICA for at least a couple more weeks. http://www.londonnet.co.uk/cinema/icacinema.html Go and see it.

Memo to self

If you have a letter to post? Post it. It does no good all crumpled up at the bottom of the bag. You pass three letterboxes on your way to work.

If it's Friday and you see this and go "oh bum, forgotten again"? Go out right now and just put it in the darn postbox on the corner. Sheesh.

ETA: It worked.
