Trapped At Work

Captioning a truly awful rendition of 'The Scarlet Letter' from 1995 featuring Demi Moore, who I can't STAND! And, of course, it's due out tomorrow, so I'm stuck here in the office all by my lonesome until the darn thing is finished. The only consolations so far have been the presence of Gary Oldman (totally unrecognisable as always - I think he's brilliant) and a fantastic 5-minute sex scene, complete with hilarious symbolic shots of hands raking through barley (?) and Walt-Disney-type vomitous glissando chime music. (Sex scenes are great in that they rarely require subtitles, and five minutes of tape is about an hour's work.)

The afternoon started promisingly enough with 'Hi-5' - disturbingly catchy, although it isn't a patch on 'Play School' - and I should be grateful for the four episodes of 'Doctor Who' coming in tomorrow (we've had to fight the Sydney office for them ever since we made it up to Tom Baker) but I have to wade through this stuff first. Time for another cup of instant, methinks.
