I was wandering around Waterstones this afternoon looking for something to jump out but I got nothing. It&#8217;s almost a shame I got a preview of the new Richard Morgan a few weeks ago otherwise that would have so done the trick. It&#8217;s annoying, it makes my journies longer or at least seem long. There is one slight advantage, I concentrate on the music. The lyrics become more important, it&#8217;s not just background, it&#8217;s all there is.<\/p>\n<p>Alex and I went to see <i>The Machinst<\/i> this evening and unfortunatly it was pretty shit. The writer had obviously seen <i>Fight Club<\/i> and <i>Momento<\/i> and just played off them, badly. Christian Bale wasn&#8217;t bad, in places he was really good but he was working with a really poor script. Best thing about it was the trailers before hand.
