The sequel
October 17, 2017
The long wait is over…
It wasn’t an intentional coincidence, but although it may not have taken 35 years to update my website, the long overdue overhaul just seems to have taken as long and with as many re-writes/re-edits.
While the critical acclaim might not be on the same scale, please do take a moment to take a look around the new site and let me know what you think…
And in you’re wondering, yeah - I have seen Blade Runner 2049 and thankfully it’s not a disappointing sequel. I saw it last week at a 3D screening at the BFI IMAX (Europe’s largest cinema screen) but it definitely warrants another viewing, not only to try to unpack some of the more interestingly opaque themes, but also because I just don’t enjoy 3D as a cinematic experience. Just call me old skool.
Another screening also affords the luxury of being able to wallow in the uncharacteristic Hans Zimmer soundscape and bathe in the sumptuous cinematography of Roger Deakins.
