Black Hawk (and knickers) Down
On the BBC�s Newsnight programme, the film critic Ekow Eshun called Black Hawk Down � a careless, racist movie�. Well said Ekow! My jaw is still dropping over the fact that it is one of the high-grossing movies. With the emphasis on �gross� presumably. George Monbiot has written a short piece about the events behind the movie. So have a look.
On a lighter note, the man who sent me David Markson�s This is Not a Novel has set up a new blog with the wonderful heading See Some Nudes/Save the World. Not for the prudish.
