Cinema trip

Filed under: films — kevin @ 23:25

It’s been ages since I last went to the cinema, so it was just as well tonight’s film was a good one.

I saw Revengers Tragedy, which seems to be missing from the IMDB. It’s an adaptation of a play written in 1607 but now set slightly in the future and revolves around the main character’s revenge for the murder of his wife.

More information can be found on the film’s website and in director Alex Cox’s blog.

I liked the contrast between the modern (more run-down present than sci-fi future) setting and the archaic English dialog. Chumbawamba’s soundtrack also worked well. Go and see it, it’s fun.

Update: It seems Revengers Tragedy is in the IMDB, here, but their search engine couldn’t find it earlier. Odd.

Jedi in Cambridgeshire

The UK’s National Statistics website has published some of the results of the 2001 census. This includes figures for the number of people who claimed “Jedi” as their religion:“390,000 Jedis There Are”

Nice to see some evidence of a sense of humour within the Civil Service…

[via The Register]

Update 13:31 The Scottish census site is much less informative, looks like some results may appear online after March.
