Middle age rocks :)

Well that was a fine night in - Dr Who, an unsuccessful attempt to watch I Robot on Film 4 (loadashite!), Zoolander (excellent!!) and an unexpected last half of some kind of compilation of the best of Never Mind the Buzzcocks which was ruddy ace:)) Now waiting to se Amy Winehouse punch someone at Glasto )

Actually I had a very adventurous day - such lovely weather I just got in the car and DROVE somewhere - in the end to the delightfully-named Fordingbridge, on the edge of Wiltshire, where I sat at a wonderful pub on the river and ate sea bass and prawn risotto (fish!!)and just, well, chilled . Also drove through moors FULL of cows and ponies - ponies, big ponies, coltish foals - PONIES! For whom cars got out the way, not the other way round!! I love moors - something about them makes you feel like you're on the roof of the world - and this felt a world away from the manicured tourist spots of the New Forest round Lyndhurst at al. Lovely.

> an unsuccessful attempt to watch I Robot

It's a truly shit film. Fetishises Converse trainies even more than nuWho.

Have you ever read the Harlan Ellison screenplay for I, Robot? Takes the structure of Citizen Kane and weaves some of the Asimov stories through it, and has proper roles for Donovan and Powell and Susan Calvin. Would've been remarkable. It was pure Asimov, pure Ellison, and pure Welles ;)

I disagree. AI is a truly shit film. I, Robot merely has an excess of mediocrity.

Dammit! I tried to warn everyone, but they wouldn't listen!
