Went to see a fairly mad Orson Welles movie last night called Mr. Arkadin, also known as 'Confidential Report' (I seem to be on a run of movies with more than one title). It started off reminding me of the backwards Seinfeld episode but the film it most reminded us of was Beat The Devil, which it was even more hammy than and not as consistently entertaining as (ooh, dangling prepositions, you won't tell, will you?). It was so over the top that it was hard to take seriously and the main character was really horrible, so it wasn't really that engaging, but there were still some fun scenes, including a really funny turn by Michael Redgrave.
Afterwards, Geoff wanted to show me the architecture in Southwark tube station. When we asked if I could go in for a look and come out again, they sold me a platform ticket for 40p, which was quite exciting (you have to come out again within 70 minutes). The station is definitely worth seeing, btw, but the best way is to take the tube there and start from the platform.
