21 September

No real time to respond now to Neil Brand on Bernard Herrmann (Knowing the Score), Drive, and Red State, but a very enjoyable day with my friend Chris, who made it for a day at the Festival.

In honour of the last of these items, and referring to a passing comment that I made to Jane Monson (the Festival's writer in residence) that the Picturehouse's weekly programme could give rise to a poetic comment or appreciation (with, of course, the offer of a lovely prize):


There was a director called Smith
Whose
Dogma became quite a myth
When they said 'Where's Red State?'
He become so irate
That gunfire erupted forthwith
