So I went to see The Assassin

[zotz]

It was pretty much exactly what I'd been told to expect - a slow film without that much plot but absolutely beautiful. Some of the indoor scenes reminded me of Peter Greenaway. Apparently the actor playing the assassin herself was down for one of the lead parts in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, but her manager insisted that doing a Coke advert

I want to see that film. Thank you for reminding me.

You're very welcome. I hope you enjoy it at least as much as I did.

A council truck has just driven up with a car on the back, lifted it into a parking space, and left.

"Sorry mate, impounded the wrong car. 'ere you go!"

I wish I could believe it was that simple. They'd just get the owner to pick it up at the yard.

Fair point.

Having said which, I did creep out to the shop and everything - grammar and semantics, the arrow of time, social expectations - seemed to be just as I remember it being. There's something I'm missing, obviously.

You do live in the same city as Charlie Stross. Just saying’.

Just as long as it's not the return of Phil Dick.
