A few days of holiday in London helped fill out the gigs etc list this month. I also seem to be back on the films after a slow October after a packed September, and saw a few classics I'd not watched before.
Good films: The Selfish Giant, Gravity, M, Full Metal Jacket, The Consequences of Love, the weird final film in the Meditations shorts
Stood up surprisingly well to a rewatch: Scott Pilgrim, watched for costume references because went to a dress-up quotealong event, where London Gigging Buddy and I were the only ones dressed up but it was fun anyway, and liked seeing loads more tiny details on the big screen.
Good other: Stewart Lee, Emiliana Torrini, Victoriana
