at our own artistic angle

May 11, 2007 at 9:39 pm (muppetry within)

So, we’re at home, feet are up, shoes are off, tea is in hand. The playstation is humming unbelievably loudly in the background and we are watching ‘A Cock and Bull Story‘ at significant volume as sent by Lovefilm as we both think the other one likes Steve Coogan.

Its a fine film. A tad up its own bottom in a convoluted in joke kind of way. Somewhat self referential, but its OK, I like that sort of a thing. The playstation controller gets dropped, various words and numbers pop up on the screen, and it goes back to normal, or so we think. The film is of the making of a film, of the film, and is shot a little like a documentary, so when the odd extra bit of voice over begins it seems predictable, almost to be expected.

And what’s NOT expected is that at the end of the film the voice will say ‘Audio Description Track provided by XYZ’

So, ‘A Cock and Bull Story‘. The sort of film you can watch half of with the audio description track running. And not notice.

We’re watching ‘The Bourne Supremacy‘ tonight.
