peterwrites - ehm, well - writes about the film Bl,.m which is a screen version of Ulysses. Somehow this worries me; Ulysses is not meant to be seen on the screen but in the head. It will be very difficult to do this text justice in any way shape or form. Attempts have been made but all have so far failed miserably, except perhaps David Suchet's portrayal of Bloom, which was really quite attractive. I see that Stephen Rea gives it a go this time, which is good - he is a great actor - but also a bit tiresome since Rea always - always - gets dragged out when someone needs an arty and Irish actor.

Oh, and I'm back from my holiday. But I'm completely knackered and there's Spellbound on TV in a minute, so I'll be back later.
