I haven't.

Rectify this immediately!
I saw all three in the cinema.
I don't know if I liked the look of the new trailer. There didn't seem to be much fun in it. The first three all had a nice vein of humour running through them.
The talking dinosaur in the dream in 3 was shit though.
I've just seen......and spoken to a couple of North American Mormons on my doorstep. They now know more about the 19th Century American Shaker movement, the song "Simple Gifts" that emanated from that movement, the Presidential inauguration ceremonies in which it was used, that Judy Collins and Alison Krauss have both recorded it and that the Shaker composer Joseph Brackett was an "Elder" like them. Some considerable time into the conversation, they realised that they already knew more about these matters than they thought they did and recommended me this clip from YT. It appears to be the Mormon version:

Watched the first one thought it was shit and haven't seen any since.
And I've only seen Dr No of the James Bond films. Thought it was shit (apart from Ursula!) and not seen one since.

What did you see during the day, Ben?
I read your post yesterday.
No obligation to answer - but I'd be interested to know.

Oh, what I watched at the BFI? They'll all be filtering onto my blog over the next couple of weeks, so keep your eyes peeled. I don't like to announce them in advance.
Anyway, Frank was a pretty decent film with a great performance from Fassbender.
I wasn't quite as enamoured with it in the same way as the critics, though, as I felt the ending rather fizzled out.
Still, a solid 7.5/10 from me.
This evening I watched Cloud Atlas. Wut?
Red Tails. Terrible, but looks fantastic; and yet somehow the painstakingly authentic looking historical recreations look utterly fake.

Haven't quite got the idea of BFI fully and I should do as it would probably be of interest. I used to like the Museum of the Moving Image (MOMI) at Waterloo and also the ICI in The Mall but only for occasional gigs.

The BFI Archive is just an institute off Tottenham Court Road where you can book in to view archive material. They order it up from various affiliated archives like the BBC, ITV or their own holdings.
The BFI over at Southbank is a whole different affair.
