Movies + Music
So once again Joe Wright (Pride & Prejudice) has directed a brilliant film from a brilliant novel. This time it's Atonement--and it's probably one of the best films of the last decade (seriously!) Lisa and I managed to catch a screening at the Arclight in Hollywood that featured a great Q&A with Joe Wright and the actor James McAvoy after the film. And then, inexplicably, they both hung out in the lobby and we got a chance to talk with Joe (basically Lisa and I raved to him about how great his films are--he was totally cool and friendly, a fascinating character). And James McAvoy got besieged by autograph seekers and women of all ages. So much fun! The Arclight really is the best cinema in town!
In other news, I'm working away on a couple different manuscripts at the moment (writing two books at once, basically!) It gives me a great excuse to listen to lots of new music, because I always play music when I'm writing. This week it's been: The Wrens, The Classic Brown, Get Him Eat Him, Dr. Dog, The Brakes, British Sea Power, Jule Brown, It's a King Thing, The Long Winters, and many more. Rock n roll!
