Jesus, November already. How did this happen? Grey and rainy all day. Take Tay on his first cinema trip, to see Up. Oh Pixar. The first 15-20 minutes make me cry silently and continuously. And again towards the end. Sigh. Great film. Tayo enjoys himself too, transfixed through most of it. Haven’t seen a kids’ film at the cinema for a while, and definitely not with a family audience as there is on a Sunday afternoon. Very amusing, hearing the parents’ laughing at certain things, the kids asking “why?” continuously, repeating the jokes.

Later, back at home, decide to watch Two For The Road. Really great film but more excitingly it uses exactly the kind of narrative device I’ve been trying to work with in this redraft of Little Brother, to great effect. It makes me really excited about the LB script again, and I wish to hell I could get hold of an original copy of the TFTR script. All I can find online is a transcript, annoyingly. The film seems really ahead of its time in a lot of ways, and much of it is very contemporary (fashions aside). Am definitely going to have to watch it again, just to take proper note of the transitions and story telling.
