Stuff: General Election, Coldplay @ Glastonbury and more

I suppose I should mention the UK General Election which reaches its conclusion on Thursday. From its soggy birth through wet campaigns its not been the most riveting event even if Ed Davey ends up flying to the Moon.  It feels as if none of the parties have an agenda to inspire which may be a sign of the times. Bold political thinking is long gone which means that manifestoes tend to seem similar overall and you sort of know that whichever side wins the same people will benefit and most won’t .

 

Reviews- Asteroid City, Elton John

 The recent spate of memes depicting films remade in a Wes Anderson style has irritated the director yet demonstrates how- in a similar way though different style- Tim Burton became ubiquitous some time ago. Anderson has now arrived at that odd position where his work has never been so well known yet his choices have never seemed so obvious. Asteroid City will do little to change people’s opinion either way as it is very Wes Anderson indeed.
