Watched The Artist on DVD last night. LB was not too impressed, as you can see below. I’ve illustrated this tale with the most artistic window display I saw for the event that dominated the UK this weekend. Big spotty pants captures it perfectly for me. That’s all I’m saying.

“Mum? Is he [George V] deaf Mum?”
“No. He ain’t deaf.”
“Why won’t he talk Mum?”
“It’s a silent movie LB. There isn’t any talking in it.”
“Why doesn’t he just talk?…. Why.doesn’t.he.just.talk?…”
“Are you enjoying it LB?”
“No Mum. I hate it.”
“Why?”
“It’s so boring Mum.”
“Boring? Why?”
“It’s just.. It’s just SILENT Mum.”
