almost witty

Yup, I still haven’t decided on which movie poster I’d want to put up on my wall. But handily, someone’s compiled a list of the 100 greatest movie posters, and I’m gratified to note that there are some uncovered gems in the list, ones that I thought only I liked.

I particularly like the ones for Pulp Fiction, Die Another Day, Pulp Fiction, and Straw Dogs - but these are either too cliched or obvious to have pride of place on my living room wall.

The best candidate from the list that I can see so far is Angel-A. I love the b&w photography of it - but there’s just one flaw. I haven’t actually *seen* it yet, so it might just be a really terrible film…

Here i am on a god early train from deepest wales to birmingham trying to get some sleep.

The train stops to pick up some passengers including a very loud woman with a joss stone-esque indeterminate accent.

Even though my eyes are closed she starts reciting her life history to noone in particular, about how she is heading to the lake district, how she was doing some on the job training but they were charging her a fortune in accommodation but that’s OK because she is in line to run a bar in New York which will be stuffed full of celebrities.

That’s when i open my eyes to see what kind of chatty glamorous New York bar manager would be going on a very early morning train in mid wales. And it’s a very young woman (almost a teenager) clasping onto both her huge bags (a sure sign of a naive traveller). Using some kind of toy rabbit as her pillow. The temptation to laugh is somewhat overwhelming …
