They might be making Y: The Last Man into a movie! I hope so I hope so I hope so! Tiny article.
I have seen two more film festival movies.
Retribution. A Japanese horror about a ghost that is completely different to Ring, Dark Water, et al. I loved it to bits, and I don't want to tell you why because it's all spoilers.
It was awesome, and creepy but not too creepy and although I had to check the back seat of the car before getting in I didn't have nightmares.
Leonard Cohen I'm Your Man is a fantastic documentary that is mostly coverage of fantastic performances at a Leonard Cohen tribute show and a bit history of Leonard Cohen told by himself and his fans.
It started powerfully with Nick Cave covering "I'm your man" and then had some interviews with various people. Had to physically stop myself from 'squee'ing when Nick Cave talked in his normal voice (quiet, pleasant, gentle Aussie accent.) I fell in love with Rufus Wainwright because he sang 'Everybody knows' with such flair...and then they had him do 'Hallelujah' and 'Chelsea Hotel #2' and then Beth Orton sang 'Sisters of Mercy' and a bunch of people I've never heard of did beautiful covers as well and oh! I want to own it on DVD so I can rewatch it now please.
*Jenni subsides into Cohen fangirl bliss.*
In other news Harry Potter prevented me from getting to the ultimate word count on kiwinowrimo, but I'm sitting pretty on 41,434 which is what...four times the word count I had at the start of the month? So I'm happy. The book is coming together and may even have a structure sometime soon. I am a bit sad, but mostly pleased with myself.
