Kinky Serenity
In a bid to stop people complaining about my lack of updates and as a way of getting back into talking crap again I'm forcing myself to make a post I'd meant to make weeks ago.
A while ago I saw Kinky Boots, a very British comedy set in the north of England about a shoe factory saved from bankruptcy by changing their product line from quality mens' brogues to womens' boots that could hold the weight of a man for transvestites. While the film was very simple and had some quite sweet moments, it was made all the more odd because the transvestite in question was played by Chitwetel Ejiofor, who had previously played the Central government assassin in Serenity.
It's not every day where you see someone as an assassin one week and a very convincing transvestite the next.
As if that weren't strange enough, Stephen Hawking was in the front row and appeared the enjoy the movie quite a lot.
Only in Cambridge.

I like the sound of this movie. Will try and find it. I love British movies.
It's a great film and Chitwetel Ejiofor is scarily fanciable in a frock and thigh high boots.
Not quite the north of England - it's set in the Midlands!!
I saw it in Northampton where it's set - it's probably the most exotic thing to be associated with Nottingham ever!
How surreal to see it with Mr Black Holes in the same cinema!
