Some days are better than others

Zooropa, that forgotten U2 album, is reasonably good, I think. It's never really grabbed my attention in the way that Achtung Baby or Pop have; War is also another favourite of mine (the album rather than conflict). I can take or leave the others. A brief unrequested opinion on the self-proclaimed "world's greatest band" or whatever rubbish Bono's been talking recently. In saying that, however, I appreciate his campaigning for awareness of Aids in Africa and previously during the "Drop the Debt" campaign.

Films recently watched (at the DCA, possibly the best cinema in Scotland/Northern Ireland , if not, inner most regions of the solar system):
Sunday - The Motorcycle Diaries - road movie cum pseudo-documentary; various South American people shine; beware romanticising of Che Guevara.
Monday - Collateral - Tom Cruise's trademark wooden acting is an advantage in this suspense thriller (beautiful shots - reminiscent of Lost in Translation).

I was going to comment further on the above, but it's suffice to say that both are worth watching, if not in the DCA then at your local movie emporium.

And further to the above - Star Wars on DVD; little more needs to be said.
