Apparently, BBC Londinium is reporting that Le Boss is about to extend his contract, see story on Arseblog here, nice to have something to smile about in Arsenal-land if its true, the beeb don't lie do they? Grimandi will also allegedly be named as Director of Football; well, all the big news happens on Fridays...
Good luck to La moving into his new house in Auckland, geek heaven I imagine, look forward to seeing it once we've raised the air fare.
Regular readers will be relieved to hear that Brian has sent me another joke but I don't want to post it just yet...btw, well done on getting your job, Bri, lets hope you get that golden shower, I mean golden handshake as well.
Changing the subject, watched Revenge of The Sith again the other day, what a load of wang. The dialogue is so bad and some of the acting ain't much better ("oh, the younglings"). I wonder if anyone else wishes Lucas had left it as just a trilogy? I've just been reading Easy Riders Raging Bulls by Peter Biskind (thanks for the recommendation, Jake); excellent book about Hollywood during the late 60s and 70s. Anyhoo, Lucas was so peeved after studios ripped apart THX 1138 (his 'baby'), that he lost faith in Hollywood, claimed merchandise rights for Star Wars in wonderful piece of bargaining with the studio, raked in tens of millions of benjamins and started to produce his own films. He was also set to direct Apocalypse Now but Coppola decided to take the job instead; the THX 1138 incident had battered his confidence so much with regard to directing 'real films' that eventually Lucas decided that Star Wars was his destiny and he carried on with the adventures of C-3PO and R2-D2...
