Good Point

Scrawled on an advertisement for the Anthony Nolan Trust in one of the lifts at Belsize Park tube station:



It wasn't me.

Another bollocks tagline.

"The most notorious terrorist group"? I think there's one outfit in particular that would have something to say about that, if they weren't so busy plotting the destruction of Western Civilisation.

And Wikipedia kindly tells me that, although it formally ceased operations in 1998, the Baader-Meinhof Gang was at its most active in 1977, the "German Autumn". So it's not exactly "of our time" either.

I need something more calming to look at on a tube platform as I gloomily ponder my impending commute, Guernica maybe or Bacon's Painting.

Ad on the Tube

Forget solar lamps - someone get this kid a pair of legs and a chair.

I know what he's attempting to get at, but Baz's comment sticks out amongst all the superlatives heaped on Steve McQueen's Hunger. Taken literally, his comment may just as well read "A Film", and tells us nothing about the quality of the piece. This is what exercises me on tube platforms - the general increasingly shitty quality of the adverts I'm forced to look at. I'd rather stare blankly at peeling paint on the the other side of the rails, but if I must consider the goods and services offered, why can't I impassively ponder their prospect, instead of being mildly angered? Lazy film reviewing by a hack who doesn't know much about films in any event, and lazy blurb-selection by whichever work-experience kid was charged with leafing through the tabloids in order to cover all demographics, that's why. There's a stunning piece of stupidity on the poster for The Baader-Meinhof Complex poster as well, but that's for another time.
