A few sunny days in Bordeaux just wandering round and loving it.

Itβs a scorcher in Bordeaux and itβs beer oβclock
Movie Log πΏ: The Fog, 1980 - β β β β
Second film Iβve watched in France on this trip. What a classic. Starting with the ghost story is a touch a genius with the film being one itself. Soundtrack, effects, acting all spot on. Iβd LOVE to run a radio station in a lighthouse

Really bold cinema! I loved the super close up shots of everybody throughout. Builds a tension that is added to by everything. How can someone eating lobster be tense? It is here!

Movie Log πΏ: Close Encounters of the Third Kind, 1977 - β β β β Β½
John Williams just let loose. So clear where Spielberg went from here to get to E.T. What a marvellous film thatβs aged like a fine wine. The special effects are so good for a film of its age. Spielberg is a visionary!

Forgot to log this one. Formulaic but a fun watch. Really plays with silence, big fan of films doing that.

Awesome. Loved every second of this. Edge of the seat stuff the entire time, beautifully designed, filmed and executed. How can some rooms built off kilter make me uncomfortable?

Peak Sunday afternoon film. Terrible CGI, impossible physics, amazing. I love how the lights on planes flicker in movies

Finished reading: Thirst - Twelve Drinks That Changed My Life by John Robins π
What a brilliant read. Iβm not a particularly quick reader but couldnβt put this down. Really insightful, emotional and funny at the same time.
I saw this plaque in Manchester Airport yesterday (T3 Arrivals) and ended up finding out more about it at Manchester Histories. How cool is that?

Did everything very well. Lots of gesturing at the screen and fidgeting in my seat. I loved that nobody in Ireland has a car from later than 2004 and somehow it was possible to rent a Saab 900 from an airport
