If I had a blog, I'd prob put this there, but anyway, apologies if it's mildly OT.
I was reading an article about a film I'm going to see tonight - The Oxford Murders - it's a mathsy murder mystery.
Someone I know from a local pub has a minor role in the film, as does Liverpool film maker, mover & shaker, Alex Cox, who wrote a Guardian piece about Englishness & Spanish film making.
After spending hours stuck in a box designed to make him look like he'd lost 3 limbs (don't ask) he was in need of a drink . . .
"In short order, the torture device is deconstructed, and I am let out of the box. Rosa, the very kind producer, presents me with a glass of traditional English beer. This is a wonderful-tasting beverage, which I plan to sample again soon."
I think he's being mildly sarcastic - that he's English & has drank it before & will continue to do regularly, but I'm still not sure.
Anyone else spotted any interesting pieces where good beer gets good mention recently? cheers MikeMcG (finally getting round to wondering whether the lack of posts means ukf
+dra has sadly had its day?)
