Going to be in London for the week, got several days filming as a gypsy extra in the remake of The Wolfman. I shall leave you in the capable hands of the least reactive of the alkali metals....
Woohoo, Sal's away time to party arty: no seriously .. have a smashing time playing a gypsy come back with loads of tales of rubbing elbows with the stars.
I've got The Wolf Man (1941) with Lon Chaney Jr on a £1 DVD, along with Mesa of Lost Women and Carnival of Souls. Must get around to watching it one day.
This means we are in the hands of Lith. London is a nice place. once you get past the bad bits. I have seen ideal potential scenes around the Greenwich peninsula for great British film. Even fringe stuff. I can create a script that has both the vincent Price element, and the raw cold emotion that envelops people like me. The wanderer, the one with the limp, the tears that engulf the eyes. The wind that dries the tears and chills one to the very bone. One suggestion. Use Oyster
London isn't "away", it's the centre of everywhere. You'll be going "away" when you skulk back to the fens at the end of the week ...
Sometimes I would rather live in Rochester. When I spoke to a few people down there. They always seemed to refer to London, as "Up there". Meaning, above. But I cannot understand why there needs to be two train stations: Chatham and Rochester? It takes literally two minutes between the two...by foot. Perhaps Chatham station should close. Anyway, we now have metal for a week. I would avoid Brixton at all costs. Some call it Beirut. Other's just call it, Babylon. Whichever title you go by, you are in for a shock if thou foot shalt stumble across a Brixton pavement.
