Aug. 20th, 2006 07:59 pmI went to see Steven Soderbergh talk as part of the Film Festival last night. It was really good, actually. Apparently he took a break from making Ocean's Thirteen to come to Edinburgh and went straight from the airport, and he was funny and interesting. He's in quite a good place with his career, in my opinion, because although he makes a lot of big studio films, he also makes a lot of smaller more experimental work.
I got back home and saw a fun, gory, 1980s, horror-comedy called Re-Animator, based on a bizarre H.P. Lovecraft story, which was about a medical student who works out how to bring the dead back to life by injecting them with glowing green goo. After that I saw a 1970s Alfred Hitchcock film called Frenzy, which was about a killer in London, who murders women by strangling them with neckties. It was surprisingly vicious actually. I'd never seen it before.
I went to my parent's house for lunch today. We had chicken and potatoes in white wine sauce. My brother was up from London, but I didn't see much of him because he's trying to buy a car and spent most of the time out looking at used car showrooms.
