I went to see the new Peter O'Toole movie "Venus".
It's written by Hanif 'My Beautiful Laundrette' Kureishi and it's about a dirty old man (O'Toole) who falls for his friends 20-year-old slutty grand-niece. It's funny and tragic and lovely. Sort of like a geriatric 'Withnail & I' with shades of 'Harold & Maude'.
I liked it so much I'm currently in the process of stealing it (slowly) off the internet. Give me 10 hours or so and I should be able to enjoy it again, in small-screen avi format, in the comfort of my own PC-desk swivel-chair.
