Welcome to Litsy!

Ol' Flappy Hands (BBC film critic Mark Kermode) rants about the usual things - 3D movies, the decline of projectionists, popcorn etc. The book gives him time to go into a little more depth, and kept me laughing, even when I'd heard many of his complaints before. I found the sections on the English-language remakes of foreign language films & what's lost in translation particularly interesting.

& now I really want to see Sex & The City 2! 🤷🏻‍♀️

"Look at the two pictures below. Obviously with this being an audiobook you can't actually look at the pictures. Obviously. But bare with us, it'll all sort of make sense. It's essentially two pictures, both in black and white, that appear to show a man walking towards us with a fence next to him. OK, back to the text! "

It's a beautifully sunny, wintery day here. I'm audiotravelling.

I got this on Audible when I had a trial a few years back. I haven't listened to it, because I found the narration unlistenable- quite a surprise as I love listening to Mark rant on about stuff.

Coming back to it now, with a few more audiobooks behind me, I've ramped the speed up to 1.5, we're in full-rant mode, and all is good. They really must have told him to s l o w d o w n!

And the story about attempting to buy cinema tickets online 😂😫!
