Closing lines of Eastern Condors: "Fuck America! God Damn America!" "Where will you go if the plane arrives?" "To America."
"A hero must rise from his sofa. The biggest zombie comedy in British history"--trailer for Shaun of the Dead
Dinner was steak.
Dreamed of our Sackville cottage; walking on my knees on the sidewalk.
Saw the punk rock documentary The Ramones: End of the Century (for the second time) at the Royal with Moira. It was the first time I used my prize pass, which I can do for two at Festival cinemas. Still fascinating.
On the bus on the way there, we were talking to a couple of Mormon elders who also spoke Spanish. (I resisted the temptation to say, "One of the only things I believe in is not being Mormon.") During their two-year ministries, they don't even read newspapers!
Stayed for Colin Geddes' Kung Fu Fridays presentation Eastern Condors. It starred Sammo Hung, the plus-size Jackie Chan, as the Man of Few Words in a Deer Hunter-Rambo type adventure involving a guerrilla mission in Vietnam. Enjoyably artless subtitles like "Nonsense, masturbator!"
