“Six Minutes to go yet, Control.”
It’s time again for Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. I don’t think I will ever tire of this superb series, and I say that having seen it dozens of times. I’m hoping that watching it now will ease the soreness of my sore tooth. I should probably read the novel, too. Although maybe I’d be better to wait a week or so: lately I’ve been promising myself I’ll read this or that novel (Moby Dick, Madame Bovary, and Seven Pillars of Wisdom each come to mind), while not actually getting around to devoting time to any of them. We will see.
(I just read on Wikipedia that Tomas Alfredson, director of Let the Right One In, is planning on making a film adaptation of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy: very interesting indeed. I need to watch Let the Right One In again, but this time with the English subtitles turned on — last time Liu Bing was concentrating on it the most, so we were using the Chinese subs, and so I didn’t have much of a clue as to what was happening.)
