yet another blog...

So, santiago buys The Last Of England (Derek Jarman, 1987 - go track it down now), and promptly watches it, like three times. Then decides to check out what people have been saying about it. Mostly the reviews are positive, but one really stands out because the writer clearly hates the film from the extract quoted on RottenTomatoes. And man, is the review negative. Not only that but it seems to be dripping with, if not homophobia, then extreme discomfort with the sensibility behind the film. In fact santiago gets so incensed by the whole thing that he feels the need to comment, and not just in a short quote but at length.

The result is around 1500 words in support of the movie and slagging off this particular review, though in a well mannered way. Santiago then goes to register so his response can be posted, and quite by accident he winds up with a brand new blog. You can find it here, and there's a good chance that other movie related stuff will wind up here.

All of which is by way of saying that santiago will have broadband at home soon, and the ever proliferating websites will be able to be properly managed. Also, you'll notice that the landline number top right has changed though it won't actually be in use until around May 15 - the same day broadband arrives all being well.

I'll see you on the other side.
