Trailer of the week - Burn After Reading

It's about time we, the public, got another Coen Brothers film. And here it is. Dream line-up: Frances McDormand, Clooney, Tilda Swinton, Brad Pitt, John Malkovich.

Burn After Reading is headlining the Venice Film Festival in August and will open in the UK on September 5th.

A Note From Lady Catherine of Springstones, Keighley

To the weary traveller who comes across this place on a cold and windy night, of the kind so characteristic of the web's peculiar climes, welcome. As the patron of Filtnib, who speaks so freely within these imaginary walls, I have many criticisms of both his style and his opinions. Yet he is young and, I trust, is already learning. I hold out hope that my patronage of this place will lend him the means to achieve better things in coming years. I can deduce as yet very little in the way of thematic coherence in Filtnib's musings and can only offer my apologies on this account. Comments are welcome.
