Something For The Weekend 34

Dave,

A quick line to let you know I’m still around… although after I went to see a fantastic film recently called “Into The Wild”, I too wanted to leave everything behind, hop freight trains, walk through deserts, canoe through the Grand Canyon and end up in Alaska camping out in an old abandoned bus and living off nothing but nature and my wits. It’s great. Go see it.

Elsewhere… I notice that the Cameo cinema in Edinburgh is showing “Blade Runner Director’s Cut No. 47” next week. At the time this film first came out, you would’ve been but a lad, whereas I was skipping university lectures to see it during wet afternoons in Glasgow. Don’t listen to any of those so-called cinema experts who hang around your office building who’ll try and tell you that the Director’s Cut versions are best – the original version with the Harrison Ford voiceover is miles better. I still have the betamax videotape to prove it.

And talking about possible upcoming movie-going opportunities… remember that time in the pub when you were telling me about all the films that make you cry? “Titanic”… “Dead Poets Society”… “Spongebob”… well, Edinburgh cinemas are falling over themselves to show “It’s A Wonderful Life” over the next couple of weeks. It’s a must if you’ve never seen it on the big screen but remember and stock up from your extensive Kleenex collection before you go and see it.

Cheers, Edge
