NOT IN RUSSIA
Just in case there’s a terrorist attack on Moscow or I’m spotted in Heat buying fancy Marmite variations and you think I’ve been lying to you. The documentary was pulled at the very last minute. Thermals packed and everything. Still hoping it might happen at some point, as the school seems a fascinating place.
Have spent a couple of days writing more of the book – this had been put on the back burner a while ago – and am today back into working on ‘The Event’. Even managed to get to the cinema over the weekend, which I haven’t done for a very long time: saw Milk, which was quite extraordinary. Penn must be the greatest screen actor of our generation. You may also be interested to know that I have, as of yesterday, finally watched the classic Star Wars Trilogy: I only ever saw the first one, once, as a kid. Now I feel I understand a whole set of cultural references which had until now eluded me. Finally I get all those Jedi mind-trick jokes. Until now I was faking.

sumthing in the milk aint clean…
Derren I cant believe you havent seen STAR WARS- until now, yet you have had a dalliance with women dressed as Princess Leah- where did that fetish start? And who can forget in the past you have had a fetish for the chewbacca look – you have a fan who looks like chewbacca, name starts with S and ends in E bwhahaah
“I’m just looking for that moment to drop my Jedi knickers and pull out my real light saber.â€
Ewan McGregor never have the same respect for the roll that Alec Guiness did.
Shame about Russia Derren. Maybe it will still happen at some point.
I’m pretty sure I saw a young girl on TV a few years ago claiming she had x-ray vision. She went on to give a (GMTV) doctor a diagnosis which checked out apparently….. don’t know if I’m buying any of that to be honest but the whole thing sounds fascinating .
Must just say the blog is incredible. There’s so much to read and it’s very diverse which is truly refreshing. Thanks to everyone who contributes, just wish I had more time to read it.
Oh pitty about russia….i am sure you get to do other good filming though!
(and no thats not a psychic statement ) :p
That’s a shame. I was looking forward to watching the video of you doing the Cossack Dance on Youtube.
Yeah i didnt get them jokes eitther until i watchedit again recently. Just completed watching all DB;s dvds – loved the specials and the interview on inside your mind – loving the book – and yes Derren you are very very charming! xx
Star Wars movies (From best to worst) My opinion:
1. Empire Strike Back
2. A New Hope (First one)
3. Phantom Menace (don’t care what other people think)
4. Return of the Jedi
5. The last one where Anakin turns into Darth Vader
6. The middle one where we meet Anakin as a young man and get the whole darn exposition about the storm troopers and where they came from and yadda, yadda. Brutal.
