My Sunday night was spent in unexpected fashion: watching Battleship Potemkin in Trafalgar Square, complete with a fresh (I'll be the judge of that) score by the Pet Shop boys. I won't trouble you with a review, it's not as if you can go and see it on my recommendation, but the Guardian's one is close enough, I suppose. Eisenstein's iconic images became a pop video, but hey, let's not be precious. Prompted a couple of thoughts, one is on Big As A Whale now, the other may soon follow it. (Un)interestingly enough, the preamble kept on about how many Stop the War demonstrations there had been in Trafalgar Square, unquestionally assuming that all right-thinking people would be of the same opinion. Neil Tennant, for one, is not. See here.
