How Ridiculous

Capote

To persist with, well let's just call it the counter-tenor theme, to the cinema this afternoon to see 'Capote'.

It was hugely enjoyable and how marvellously Philip Seymour Hoffman portrayed the writer's vileness.

(That said, as a performance, How Ridiculous did not think it matched the excellence of Heath Ledger's in 'Brokeback Mountain'. Mr Ledger has been robbed of a Golden Globe and a BAFTA and HR is packing the necessary equipment to camp at the foot of our stairs if he is robbed of an Oscar.)

Of course, Chris Cooper was superb, as always, and Clifton Collins Jr as 'Perry Smith' was just magnificent.

To top it all, the music was divine as Lady Thatcher said at the end of The Duke and Duchess of York's wedding.
