FINALLY I’m back in the good ol United Kingdom, ruled by an old German woman in Buckingham Palace and an un-elected Scot in Westminster. The talk is of a dark bat that casts a dark shadow over all shielded under it. Bale is out on bail after lashing out on his mom, the young Ledger has been taken from us in his last major role, bar The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. The film is due for release in 2009, Depp and Jude Law portray the Ledger character, as he died mid production. The premise - In the present day, immortal 1,000-year-old Doctor Parnassus (Plummer) leads a traveling theater troupe that offers audience members a chance to go beyond reality through a magical mirror in his possession. The premise reminds me of my past 6 months in Los Angeles, a magical mirror to explore ones imagination. Is it a real place, does is it exist. Why do I find it so hard to describe that city to my friends and family when they ask me, ‘ How was Hollywood?’ Rain and the moody gloom of a London underground is as good a antidote to the hall of mirrors that is California. The Imaginarium capital of the world, Los Angeles. Will I go back, what do I do now? A question that needs an answer , but a question that cannot be answered easily. For now, I’m happy to enjoy London, as I adjust my eyes to reality….
