Perhaps it's this - blandness in general, rather than in colour specifically, but for some reason people keep talking about the colours. I keep seeing shots full of red light, ice blues, glowing greens - I'm not finding the colours boring at all, and the reviews' assertions that it's always brown are just weird. But…

it's not a serious proposition. just an expression of how upsetting it is when people are anti-immigration and an attempt to say that those people don't appreciate how much immigrants contribute to society. wondering how they would cope if they actually got the societythey say they want.

I love Under The Skin, I think it's genius, beautiful and haunting and intense and dreamy and above all different. but maybe part of that genius has to be that it will alienate (hah) people too? I don't know. I loved the book, and although I hadn't read it for years, I was really interested in the relationship between…

I don't think he's stupid, I just don't think an Oxbridge degree is an automatic guarantee of a good leader. And I don't think someone who hasn't been an academic since 1988 can be called a scholar. I think he did get an exhibition at Oxford, so I guess he was one once, but if that's the only achievement we're looking…

If you wait three years after your BA, Oxbridge give you an MA automatically for doing no extra work.

That's because our electoral system is fucking stupid, and because people don't vote. Tories got 37% of the vote overall. And only 24% of eligible voters voted Tory.

meh. a BA degree, wherever it's from, is not exactly a sign of in-depth knowledge, except of a few topics within a subject for the period of time it takes to pass the exams. Also, where can I find 'hardness' of subjects measured? Every subject has areas that are easier to approach than others - for all I know, he…

Here are some more of the things we call him on Twitter: http://www.westerndailypres…

Do you think they brought their weapons in a dinghy across the Mediterranean too?

That response is part of what the attacks are planned to achieve. They want to encourage that kind of response, because they want to be able to say see, the West is at war with all of us. They want people whose countries have refugees in them to hate those refugees, because they escaped once. Every time someone has a…

I love that it's still possible to have this conversation. I never did the job, but have worked with proper projectionists a lot in the past, working in a cinema and with training organisations when I was young. It's made me nostalgic for all the old blokes I used to work with, who disdained towers and cakestands and…

I'm not sure that's true. It's a Greek word which comes from imitating someone speaking in a foreign language, and ancient Greeks used it about lots of different peoples (and Greek people from other cities). The Romans also used it about many cultures foreign to them. I think the term Berber derives from it, but it…

Time Cop by Wong Kar-Wai.

Someone proper could have another go at Wings of Desire. No Nic Cage this time. Michael Winterbottom? Neil Jordan? Jim Jarmusch?

I think it could have a disturbing edge, maybe, because he'd bring out the fear and pathos in the situation. But ultimately it would be life-affirming. A sort of reverse-Audition emotional journey. Hah, imagine Miike doing Freaky Friday.

Maybe it would be nice to see what Hirokazu Kore-eda, master of subtle family portraits and sweet sublime heartbreak, could do with a body-swap comedy like Freaky Friday or 13 Going On 30.

well, they ALL sound like rejected Bond titles!

Yes I was thinking Santa Sangre.

Or Catherine Breillat.
