I'm reading Strange Conflict right now. The Duke battling Nazi spies on the Astral Plane.
It's great. The upper class stoically keeping the routine of visiting their clubs for drinks while the Blitz goes on all around them.

Picked up The Devil Rides Out and Strange Conflict at the weekend. Really enjoying re-reading TDRO and I've never read Strange Conflict, so really looking forward to getting into that. Nice one, Johnny

Some friends of mine were taught by Noah Baumbach's dad in university in New York. They were telling me the other night that Jeff Daniels' pompous character in The Squid and the Whale is no exaggeration at all, sometimes they weren't sure whether or not he was quoting the movie.

just thought you guys might appreciate that factoid

Anyone seen the new Baumbach movie?
I wasn't wild on Frances Ha but am always curious of his work.

Saw it last week, Naomi Watts, Charles Grodin and Adam Driver were good, as with most of his movies I thought "this is good, I dislike it though"

Haven't seen Charles Grodin in ages

Glad he's still working

I'm actually the polar opposite. Normally don't have much time for him but loved Frances Ha. Greta Gerwig does a great job of balancing out his misanthropy.

I loved the new one

It's good but I felt it fell a bit short in the end. I wanted a different ending, maybe one more with the way I feel right now (more so than the character), which isn't the point. Normally I laugh more than I did with this one. @riath said she felt she was joining me in my mid life crisis therapy session.

He turned up in the last season of Louie C.K. 's show in a small recurring role as his doctor, probably one of the best parts of that season:

Proposing a theory that the continued funding of Tim Burton/Johnny Depp movies is the film industry's attempt at self-policing containment.

It seems Tim Burton isn't involved so maybe that'll save it.

Unlikely though.

edit: oh he's producing it. doomed then
