Home is where the hardest

1. So maybe this Tintin movie thing won't be such a clusterfuck after all. This story from the Times is moderately reassuring. Thankfully, they're going to keep it a cartoon.

2. Herewith is an interesting story from The New Yorker about the British "guerilla" artist Banksy. In other news, Banksy is no longer so mysterious.

3. The Office season finale was hilarious. I was particularly interested in reading Creed's blog. Now that I have, I have to confess that it's kind of lame.

4. So what do you think: Jordin or Blake? Though I was wrong about last week, I'll stick with my prediction that Jordin will win.

5. I see that The Good German--much discussed in this space--is just out on DVD. I suppose I'll have to give it a shot. Jenn has been reading the book, and I'm interested in what she thinks about it. In other similarly-named-spy-movie news, we watched The Good Shepherd over the weekend. I'll confess that while I enjoyed it, it was a bit of a mess. I gather that it is a semi-fictionalized take on James Jesus Angleton, the original counter-inteligence chief at the CIA. There's a ton of good material there, so perhaps we should hope that someone else will take another shot at it before too long.

6. I'm about two-thirds of the way through Christopher's Ghosts and it's quite excellent. (Among other things, there's lots of terrifying stuff about Nazi torture--sorry, interrogation--techniques in the first section that are no doubt intended to tell us somthing about things going on in our own world.) That said, I'm not sure I'd recommend it to someone new to the McCarry books. You're better off starting back at the beginning of the series (discussed here). Trust me on this.
