New Thursday 28th August 2008 Tuesday 26th August 2008 It's been a busy weekend, but there is now a website for Tuesday the movie starring Philip Glenister. Saturday 23rd August 2008 This is the trailer for a new film I'm publicising called Tuesday (scroll to the bottom for more details). It stars John Simm and Philip Glenister - re-united following Life on Mars. Friday 22nd August 2008 It's by one of the UK's top filmmakers, and it's filmed in a small patch of London that I happen to walk through every day on the way to work.
Monday 18th August 2008
My friend "Brickie Dave" and I decided to enrol on a building apprentice scheme run by Lambeth College School of Construction. Knowing our first job was the conversion of Battersea Power Station into a set of luxury flats, I couldn't help but take along my camera.
Brickie Dave: "I am very excited by the opportunities that today's construction industry offers young fit men like myself who are maybe not academically inclined - but make up for it with their "can do" attitude, manual dexterity and physical strength."
This is Mr. O'Connor, the project manager. We both found his gritty cockney accent a little troublesome, but soon cottoned on when he adopted the 'point and shout' style of management.
Brickie Dave viewed the job with a little trepidation.
But this reluctance was soon dismissed by a firm word from Mr. O'Connor. Brickie Dave: "He's got me and another fella - Daft Colin the Scouse - workin' for 'im round his house. Colin's a bit soft in the 'ead like - 'e just spends the day with his arms in a bucket of old ma O'Connor's soapy washin' up in the kitchen. Nice and warm in there - Daft Colin's got it easy, the poor sod. I'm out in all weathers me - keepin' the garden tidy... washin' Mr O'Connor's Rover... walkin' that dirty mutt Jago. Do a bit of drivin' for 'im too like. Last week 'e 'ad me drivin' him down to MARGATE. 'e just sat there in the car lookin' out to sea with this funny look in 'is eyes - then he started cryin' an' e' wouldn't stop for the whole time - and like we was there two hours... I didn't know where to look mate..."
Mr. O'Connor didn't seem too impressed with the progress we'd made. Brickie Dave again: "Mr O'Connor only cracks a smile when he's handing out P45s. And he makes sure that thems pay envelopes aint too full mister - 'e takes off 25 per cent and sends it off to some avant-garde progressive working class arts group in that sarf London... says 'es improvin' our minds or somefin." Saturday 16th August 2008 1. Igloos melting to a poignant soundtrack 2. A Russian chess grandmaster nodding off and impailing himself on his bishop 3. Two nuns re-enacting the lightsaber battle from Star Wars with baguettes 4. Footage of Saddam being hanged accompanied by the theme tune to Thomas the Tank Engine 5. A cut-up of various clips of George Bush getting onto aeroplanes accompanied by the song China in Your Hand by T'Pau 6. A kitten making a salad 7. Suicide bombers outtakes and bloopers 8. The queen, squeezing her thumb and forefinger together with Lord of the Rings playing on a plasma screen in the distance so it looks like she's squeezing Gollem 9. Pete Doherty trying to smoke Amy Winehouse 10. Richard Dawkins eating fourteen marshmellows at once Friday 15th August 2008 Those nice people at Cohn & Wolfe have a new website - and it's very nice indeed. Sunday 3rd August 2008 I'm sure there must have been a little more work involved - such as finding a top-notch crew and the gritty South London locations. Described as 'heist-gone-right' film, Tuesday portrays a series of robberies, but soon finds the investigating detectives realising things are not quite as they seem..
