In film news
Completely off food, but topically interesting. Michael Moore's much nattered about film Fahrenheit 9/11 had a US release date of June 25th and was later released in the UK on July 9th. The first shoddy 'filmed in the cinema' copies appeared on the streets of Saigon on July 13th. They sold out well before 7pm on the same day and reappeared in bulk today. Harry Potter's latest made it over before the UK got sight of it. Michael Moore doesn't have a broomstick, but he did get here eventually.
Noodle pie,
Did you get to see the film? It was excellent, thoroughly enjoyable cinema.

Yes, I watched it yesterday. I'm inclined to agree with Stuart Hughes over at the excellent Beyond Northern Iraq blog.
"There's little in the film that hasn't be said elsewhere -- often by journalists and writers far superior and more rigorous to Moore. But never before has it been said so accessibly or entertainingly."
