Anita Loos - Retrospective
Saw the Edith Piaf movie yesterday, good film but bloody miserable. She had a hard paper round that woman... time to go into training for spending extended periods in a darkened room. Also on a culture tip, at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival...Hamell on Trial - The Terrorism (of Everyday Life) ----- Book here

Grindhouse failed miserably at the box office here in the US, mostly due to really poor marketing. So, to try and make their money back they had QT and RR re-edit material back into the films making them more of a full-length running time. What you get to see is what we will get to see on dvd. That's how it is for Europe. You won't get to see the Grindhouse version. You won't get to see the fake trailers or anything like that which approximated the Grindhouse experience. Perhaps on dvd you will. Sort of a rip-off really -- you're missing out on the whole experience. That being said, I really preferred Death Proof over Planet Terror (but apparently, I'm in the minority). Have fun, though! Here in the US we also get to look forward to the release of Hairspray (the musical remake of a film, which is now a film). Puke....
