Oh dear, another one passes on - and I fear we have another River Phoenix on our hands.

I don't think I've seen any of his blockbusters, such as The Patriot, but I did enjoy 10 Things I Hate About You and Two Hands. And despite hating Brokeback Mountain with a vengeance, it wasn't the fault of the performances: Ledger and Gyllengaal did their best with a problematic narrative and lousy editing.

Meanwhile, I look forward to his Joker and Tod Haynes's spin on Bob Dylan, I must add Monster's Ball to the Sofa list, and this is surely another example of the Curse of Gilliam: they have been filming The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus together. Oh dear.

Surpised me when I saw it on the front of the paper this morning. Pity too. I really liked Ten Things I Hate About You.

I saw it on Ceefax at about 1am - thought WTF? and went to bed rather than searching for the news online and losing a couple of hours' sleep. 10 Things was definitely (along with Clueless and Cruel Intentions) one of the better teen classics serial adaptations.
