    I saw David Byrnes American Utopia show twice live. Utterly sublime and maybe the best live show I’ve seen.
    If the filmed version is half as good it should be a Stop making sense level treat.

    I’m not a sceptic!! But every one of these poles that pop up about which film will you watch? The majority is always .. none of them… maybe it’s the calibre of films bring realeased, but being the week that it is, should the choice not be.. home alone, bad Santa etc??? Of is it just newly released movies?
