Radioooo
So, last night we went to see Ian Curtis biopic Control at the GFT. I've written a full review for diskant, but if you want the short version: it was alright, I suppose, but pretty disappointing.
Also disappointing was the discovery that David Lynch is making an appearance at the GFT next month; an appearance that has, of course, entirely sold out. And why did nobody tell me? The GFT website has been down for a redesign for a while, and we haven't been in the cinema itself lately, so we had no idea. Bah.
My writing class starts again tomorrow, and I've been asked to submit something for critique on the first night. I agreed to do so, but the only thing I've finished lately I'm not that happy about. It's very very "told" narration. (Something about "Control" that bugged me - "Show, don't tell." I am a hypocrite, but at least I'm honest about it.) I am, therefore, "bricking it".
I have Zelda:Phantom Hourglass on my DS, but have only played the first few minutes so far. It looks gorgeous, though - like proper 2D Zelda given a lovely cel-shaded 3D makeover. Naturally, the story is the usual complete tosh - Princess Zelda's been kidnapped, you have to rescue her, and you start without a sword or shield and with only three heart points, even though this is a direct sequel to Wind Waker, and presumably Link should still be all tooled up from that earlier adventure. Still, anything else wouldn't be Zelda.
