I've finished a chapter of the novel, which various kind friends like debg are reading, and another chapter of the teen movie book, and am hard at work on both, which is why I am posting so little at present...

However, vschanoes and I went this evening to a screening of one of our favourite movies, 'Valerie and her Week of Wonders', which is a 1969 Czech fantasy film based loosely on a 1930s surrealist novel of the same name. VWW is wonderful in its own right - the last flowering of the Czech New Wave before a Socialist Realist clampdown post-invasion - and is also interesting for its influence on Angela Carter, who once acknowledged to me that it was key to her discussions with Neil Jordan about 'The Company of Wolves'.

( Roz goes on about her favourite film and how some people don't get it )

Anyway, you have really got to see this film.

Something I always vaguely suspected

You scored as Existentialist. Existentialism emphasizes human capability. There is no greater power interfering with life and thus it is up to us to make things happen. Sometimes considered a negative and depressing world view, your optimism towards human accomplishment is immense. Mankind is condemned to be free and must accept the responsibility. </td> Existentialist 94% Postmodernist 88% Cultural Creative 75% Idealist 69% Modernist 63% Materialist 63% Romanticist 44% Fundamentalist 13% What is Your World View?
