Crude Diaries

Morning,  After five whole weeks, the Odeon West End has finally decided to stop screening Stupid. Bloody brilliant to get five consecutive weeks, but the extended run has slightly held us up.  We weren't allowed to announce competing plans while the movie was in the cinema - hence all the "please hang on" replies to all your emails asking when you can screen it. Anyhow, now we've finally been dropped, we can move on to... 

Hello from Stupid Towers, our new office with windows which open and space aplenty for cat-swinging, Not that we're going to have all this legroom for long: two more adverts for two more people below. Please pass them on to anyone you know who doesn't want to see their family or friends for the rest of the year. 

Bonjour de Paris,  This week's most thrilling email: "I am a curator at the BFI [British Film Institute] National Film Archive and we are very keen to acquire a copy of The Age of Stupid for permanent preservation in the archive... The importance of the film's issues led to an instant selection decision."  - Pause for enormity to sink in - 

Evening all,  To paraphrase Douglas Adams, don't you just love the whooshing sound deadlines make as they fly by? 

Morning If anyone's bored this morning/lunchtime, there's a gang out on the streets of London giving out free copies of a spoof Financial Times from 2020 (in which Age of Stupid gets a few mentions). They're in need of more helpers, so please call 07779792675 if you'd like to join them. Detailed info from them below or at: http://ft2020.com. Nice day for it.

Morning, 

Hello "The Age of Stupid" opens in UK cinemas TODAY. Please take everyone you've ever met - along with ten of their friends - to one of the cinemas listed below this weekend. And, while you're at it, please forward the attached flyer to every longlost pal and mailing list you're vaguely connected to. 

Morning all, 

Evening all, There's a bloody great tent and banks of solar panels in Leicester Square. How on earth did someone get permission for something so outlandish?!?? See pics attached. Note also: sunshine. Sorry we haven't made this totally clear - lots of people have been asking - but anyone not in the UK will be able to watch the green carpet shenanigans live on our website: http://www.ageofstupid.net/premiere_webstream But not the whole film obviously. There's also a live event in Second Life: http://www.oneclimate.net/stupid_premiere

Evening, Too many amazing things have happened. I've run out of superlatives, so am resorting to a list. Full prose will resume at the earliest opportunity. Tabloid Revolution: Three million people will have choked on their cornflakes this morning when they read Pete's column in the Sun. See attached. "We - that is humanity - have only a couple of years left to act if we are to stop catastrophic climate change causing the deaths of hundreds of millions of people." In The Sun.
