Entertainment: I read that the rock music ensemble, Guns N' Roses, are about to release an album that was 17 years in the making. Thinking laterally, I fell upon the thought that I'm looking forward to this year's new episode of the David Renwick comedy-drama, the fantastically formulaic, Jonathan Creek.
In entertainment, what are you looking forward to?
Film and Currrent Affairs: Last night, on Newsnight Review, some people had a chat about creating fictional movies that are based on ongoing war-related real-life situations. I think the underlying questions - which weren't asked - were:
How do you feel about the Hollywoodisation of matters related to ongoing military operations in places like Afghanistan and Iraq? And, what ambitions - other than to entertain and to create wealth - is it reasonable to have for such productions?
Titles: Also last night, I got to see the latest 'no brain required' contribution to the James Bond catalogue, Quantum of Solace - a film that was popcorny, not as bad as some reviews did suggest, but ultimately - a film that completely lacked any credible reference to its own title. This got me thinking: Which were the Bond titles that got away? For example, that one where Bond goes undercover at Newcastle United Football Club: 'Three Points Are Not Enough'.
