I know it's considered wrong to sniff someone else's seat at work, but is it *actually* a crime?
And now that I have your attention: this is fascinating. Frank Darabont has done a film called The Mist from one of Stephen King's slighter short stories - I remember it well, but not well enough to remember which collection it's from! - and he seems to have turned it into something really dark and also good, a tense thriller that also captures some of the socio-political climate in America at the moment - read this Guardian review, it makes it sound like a cross between Cloverfield, The Thing, Lord of the Flies and a Darabont film.
I didn't care much when the film was announced, but I'm very interested now.
Hey, yesterday I nearly got hit by a bike and while i was still recovering from that, I bumped into Dustin Hofmann in Leicester Square! Well, me and about a hundred or so fans all screaming "Dustin, Dustin!" I think he was opening Kung Fu Panda - nice man, very short, with white hair and a big smile, and he took the time to wander up and down the crowd signing and shaking hands and exchanging words, which is more than a lot of stars do in Leicester Square.
He said to say hi.
