Films are better now. Have you seen The Great Train Robbery? Jerky as fuck
Although I maintain that Nosferatu has very rarely been bettered in the horror stakes in the 89 years since it was made.

Alt: might spoil myself with a trip to M&S. Try and convince myself I'm middle-class.

And how are you, darling?

I went to M&S on sat
but couldn't find what I wanted.

I've seen that film. Some old films are good, though. Do you consider The Sting old? I love that film. And Metropolis.

I'm doing ok. Ups and downs. I felt the baby yesterday for the first time, but have another appointment with the GP tomorrow and scan on Sat.

Metropolis is a fantastic film
The Sting is a lot of fun, I wouldn't consider it old by the same standards though.

Are you planning to keep the gender a secret? I think you should, cos some friends of mine had a baby earlier this week and having been told after several scans that it was a girl, which is what they really wanted, it turned out to have a penis.

Poor girl!
What are they going to do with the penis, keep it or not?

I think we've decided to have a surprise. I think everything we buy or get should be gender neutral, mainly because I don't like little princesses or gun boys.

They found some lost scenes of Metropolis, but I haven't seen them yet. I'm looking forward to it.

Hmm. Depends why they were lost
Possibly they were removed from the film with good reason, then lost. Let's put it this way; no-one's been particularly keen to find Glenn Miller.

I do feel sorry for the newborn lad, because his parent's hopes and expectations of him have been utterly kippered before he's even had his umbilical cord cut.

I fear that might happen too
I'm trying to keep as neutral as possible, so I think a surprise will be better.

I think the bits found are part of the original film, really, just got damaged. I'll try to find the article where I read it.
