THE ORWELL PRIZE

http://orwelldiaries.wordpress.com/

“From 9th August 2008, you will be able to gather your own impression of Orwell’s face from reading his most strongly individual piece of writing: his diaries. The Orwell Prize is delighted to announce that, to mark the 70th anniversary of the diaries, each diary entry will be published on this blog exactly seventy years after it was written, allowing you to follow Orwell’s recuperation in Morocco, his return to the UK, and his opinions on the descent of Europe into war in real time. The diaries end in 1942, three years into the conflict.”

That is absolutely amazing and immediately hits my feed reader.

“Ah Quentin, always making news. Today it was his decision to cast Eli Roth in the forthcoming remake of Inglorious Bastards. We understand: throw your friends some work. But when you have a chance to fix your career (which is not Death Proof) maybe it’s best to set the nepotism aside. So to commemorate the man, we thought we would recap a little bit of the bizzarness that is Tarantino by looking at some of the strangest moments of his existence ever recorded on video.”
