I wasn't sure how to title this post.

You see - my favourite film maker is a BBC guy called Adam Curtis. And he also runs an amazing blog filled with fascinating insights into world politics, war and modern consumerism.

Anyway - awhile ago he posted up an interview with a guy who was filmed in the 1960's. It is an interview with chap called Francis Beveridge. And it is the most amazing interview I have ever seen.

To me this guy is a hero. He absolutely hates his life, hates his wife and family and is just counting out the days until he dies. He is totally devoid of joy and isncapable of enjoying anything. Maybe it is an English thing - but I think his attitude is hilarious. He is so omega - he is almost alpha.

Anyway - for those looking for something a bit odd - check out the second video from the top of the page in the link below:

I am in the UK - and I hope the video works in other countries as well.

Sorry to dig up an old post. But this really is a funny video. Anyway - I just came across a direct link to the video:

The guy is a legend.

Will check it out.

Also feel free to drop any articles from that guys blog (not sure what the most relevant thread would be), I trust your judgement.

Yeah - I will put together a 'best of Adam Curtis' blog. I have alot of stuff to say about his work - and it is useful having a few pointers.
