Building Sights US - the Chrysler Building with John Malkovich
BBC short film about the Chrysler Building starring John Malkovich, from the series Building Sights. First shown on BBC 2 in 1995.
Warm rain.
The hoary old joke goes “You can always tell when it is summer in Britain – the rain gets warmer”. This seems to be true yet again this year. To be honest I am not a person that likes hot weather – anything over 22 -23 degrees Celsius makes me feel very uncomfortable indeed, but the current autumnal weather is just too much. We get half a day of nice weather, then suddenly it becomes overcast and wintery again. So much for global warming. The rain certainly makes the grass grow though - I mowed the lawn whilst the England vs. whoever football game was on last night. I seem to be cursed when it comes to buying a replacement pair of spectacles; I have been looking around for several months since my last eye test. My current titanium framed spectacles are ancient and falling apart; I have had them longer than any other pair since I started wearing glasses at the age of five. The problem I have is that in addition to having very bad astigmatism, my prescription is pretty strong. This precludes me from choosing quite a wide range of frames – anything rimless or half framed is pretty much out of the question. I went into the opticians yesterday, clutching a recent photo of Apple supremo Steve Jobs, who was wearing a very smart pair of rimless glasses. I asked the assistant if they had this design, or anything vaguely similar. He replied that they get a couple of customers a month asking the same question; he'd done some researchand found out that Mr. Jobs' specs are bespoke and probably cost around $10,000! No luck there then either. The photo at the top of the page shows a floating crane barge and some tugs moored off Erith last week; the area still has strong maritime connections, and indeed the world class marine engineering company Kort Propulsion has its' headquarters in the town. Not many people know that the old red brick building opposite the Morrison's petrol station is actually their offices. You can see the place on Google street view...
