The Boy Downstairs, Hotel California (The Eagles)

Today we watched the trailer for The Boy Downstairs, a movie written and directed by Sophie Brooks and starring Zosia Mamet. It seems to be about a young woman who split up with her boyfriend some time ago, but she discovers him living in her apartment block. They become friends again, and his current girlfriend gets angry. Recently, we have watched a lot of animated features, as well as a lot of suspense and action movie, so I thought a romcom would be a nice change.

We also saw a live video of The Eagles performing Hotel California. Unusually for live videos on YouTube, it had the English lyrics as well as a Japanese translation. Two things that stand out about The Eagles is that the vocalist is also the drummer, and that there are three guitarists. The guitar sound is quite full, and two of the guitarists clearly enjoy playing off each other.

The Premier League has become a bit more interesting. Manchester United have bought Alexis Sanchez, and he is expected to improve the team, meaning they can put some pressure on Manchester City at the top of the table. [190 words]
