Maybe he’s trying to prove that he can comfortably live around people of a different ethnicity – thereby isn’t racist.

I agree with you. I would rather have the BNP exposed and examined than be a cloaked entity with few public declarations or statements. But I can’t help noticing the delicious irony in the fact that Mr G has moved to Wales yet doesn’t speak a word of Welsh.

Reading that it feels as though you’ve been brave, putting such of yourself and your tastes ‘out there’.

Don’t have the time to sit down and list mine but No 2 would be Groundhog Day and No 1 could only be Intacto.

Good blog Jon – man, I thought I was the only person who’d seen Static! That needs a DVD release pronto, though apparently Romanek is blocking it because he’s embarrassed of it. Also, thanks for reminding me that I need to buy the special edition of Jacob’s Ladder, which (though I remember liking My Life when I saw it years ago) is still my favourite of the Unspoken Bruce Joel Rubin Death Trilogy.

Completely agree with the point of the blog though – a person’s favourite films aren’t necessarily the ones that are the most technically proficient or the best-written or acted, but the ones that hit the right spot at the right time and you’re grateful to forever as a result.

Jon… Talk to David Marlow. Enlist his help getting you a sales agent to finish the film through broadcast presales. As an Oxfordian (Oxfordite?) and former head of Virgin Films who loves music and is a fan of yours… surely he is worth a meeting. Silverlight Media is his company. http://www.silverlightmedia.com
