Boardwalk Empire

Boardwalk Empire is coming soon. Its no surprise to find that I am excited about its arrival. HBO has taken the excellent book and hopefully will produce something in their usual vein. Scorcese, ofcourse, is attached to direct the first few episodes and played a large role in writing the scripts.

This photo of Michael K. Williams who most will remember as Omar from The Wire is beautiful and pretty evocative of how I hope the show will be. A favourite of mine and probably everyone else's (I hear distant cries of "Stringer Bell!") he appears to be playing one of the hitmen involved in bootlegging. Bow ties, patterned suits, and gorgeous smokey visuals.

I do declare.

Just swell.

I found this video of Dylan singing Just like a Woman at 'Concert for Bangladesh'. Take note of Mr G Harrisson playing with him. Brillllliant.

Interview with BEE

I'm only part way through Imperial Bedrooms.

Its always the way with Ellis that you're never quite sure whether he's gonzo and taking the piss, or whether there is some profound meta-structure you've missed.
