Yeah. Or possibly the TV show came first, I can't recall. It's Kureshi's semiautobiographical acount of growing up in Bromley in the 1970s and fucking Billy Idol the rise of punk. It's bloody brilliant, and basically made Naveen Andrews.

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Dude, I love that book. I don't know how I missed that it was also a movie, but now I know what I will be scouring my video store for this weekend...

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
It was actually a BBC mini-series, not a movie. Might be tough to track down...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
If it's available on home video (for NTSC/Region 1), it'll be at bbcamericashop.com.

there's a new dentist in my dentist's practice that looks like Naveen Andrews... I am considering switching from my currently also-handsome, but in more of a american highschool quarterback way, dentist. Hm.
That's weird, right?

Hmm. My local video place has a lot of obscure and hard-to-find stuff (and let us take a moment to bless odd little independent video stores!), so I might luck out. Or, I wonder if I could ask them to order it? I don't really want to buy it myself, since I am (as always) wicked low on cash right now.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hey, I just read that Naveen Andrews not only caused a big to-do in England years ago apparently by moving in wit his acting teacher when he was 16 (!) and having a baby with her, but that he now lives with Barbara Hershey. Who knew?

Not that big a to-do - I'm a reasonably obsessive celebrity gossip whore, and this is the first I've heard of it.
