Pete Andre's got a new job as an interviewer. He was interviewing Bill Murray last night, probably for ITV

Re: London Film Festival 2009
George Clooney was on top comic form for his Q&A at the screening of The man who stare at goats. He was miming to the audience at the beginning because he didn't actually have a mic next to him when the artisitic director asked him a question about the film. Then when the author of the book came to spoke, a rather nice but very short British guy, George went up and moved the mic really high.
I think this film and FMF got a high profile screening because of the british funding involved whether it's lottery money or the BBC.
It's a shame Ewan Mcgregor and Kevin Spacey didn't come and support their film last night, given that they are both UK based.

Re: London Film Festival 2009
Just caught Life During Wartime, the new Todd Solondz film, down ol' Lahndahn Tahn, pretty good stuff, rather dark as would be expected, but hilarious to boot.
Looking forward to Cold Souls and Bunny and the Bull now.

Re: London Film Festival 2009
Well I am more envious of you, because it's often the smaller films that I find a hidden gem or a nice surprise, but I am quite busy with work, so haven't been able to see many films at the LFF. Anyway, off to see Up in the air tonight. Will report back later, esp how it works at Vue West End as its the first time LFF is using Vue.

I saw 44 Inch Chest on Saturday night. It was very good! A great cast too. It would have worked just as well as a play...

Re: London Film Festival 2009
44 Inch chest was one of the films I was interested in, but hey with some many free films as well from SFF and budgetary/time constraints, I couldn't go. Glad you enjoyed it, I will definitely catch the film either in the cinema or on dvd
