Re-watching what now? Life Aquatic? The notions rolled about first that Steve Zizzou was an metaphor for Wes Anderson, yes but then, that Ned was a metaphor to Wes Anderson’s films and hence, that the interactions between Steve and Ned are indicative of Anderson’s feelings about his work. It all brings to mind that the whole movie is a defense and an apology to the world (but really to the critics) for his oeuvre and a comment on the fakery which is his movie making.

Really though, I like the full size cut-away ship.

Anyway. Tonight? Nick Hornby. I’ve never read any of his work (though, of course, I have seen High Fidelity) but he was such a nice guy and the bits he read seemed quite entertaining that maybe I’ll pick something up. At least I’ll start perusing The Believer.

Strangely though, I picked up a Mordecai Richler book instead.
