Simple Pleasures, Part 2
Friday September 25th 2009
If the death of film retail also means an end to the classic HMV tradition of stacking box-sets in Jenga towers then let’s shut the internet down right fucking now.
HMV floor staff, I salute you.

I was so busy organising a teen film festival last week that I completely forgot to mention what a bonkers clocks week it was for new teen movies. Young Adult, Martha Marcy May Marlene and Chronicle all more or less fit the profile, and two of them already feature in my Best Movies of 2012 list. Cinemas showing all three are few and far between, but if you happen to live near the West India Quay Cineworld then there’s a hell of a triple bill waiting for you one night this week.
