Twee films in deze post. Eerst Shrek the Third die morgen in première gaat. Ik heb me niet echt verveeld, maar wat eerst subtiele en daardoor grappige verwijzingen naar de oude sprookjes waren, is nu leidraad geworden. En dat is een beetje vermoeiend. Er komt in 2010 ook nog een vierde film. Shooter met Mark Wahlberg (en Kate Mara) daarentegen was een frisse douche. Ik verwachtte een doorsnee actiefilm, maar hier is volgens mij een nieuwe Rambo opgestaan. Een slimmere, subtielere Rambo. Aanrader.

- I’ve had it with men Ten years ago, men’s monthlies were making fortunes for publishers on both sides of the Atlantic. And FHM editor Ed Needham was at the heart of it. But, he says, the internet and trashy weeklies have destroyed all that: the party’s over, and it’s time to move on.
- The Last Guy in the World to See Star Wars I haven’t gone out of my way to avoid it, but I never quite found the time to watch it, either. Mostly, I haven’t thought about it at all. But, well, it’s been 30 years.
