No rain yet. I watched Escape From New York which I don't think I'd ever seen all the way through before - maybe caught the last twenty minutes when getting back from the pub twenty-odd years ago. It was OK, though there seemed to be some gaps in the narrative; we know that walking down fifty floors of the World Trade Center wasn't something that took a couple of minutes, and getting downtown to the WTC from the railway was a lot quicker and free of incident than getting uptown a few hours earlier had been. And we certainly know that when an airliner flies into a building in downtown Manhattan, you don't find said airliner in big airliner-shaped pieces on the ground afterwards. But it was of its time; I have a vague recollection of it being criticised for excessive violence when it first came out, which isn't apparent now. Maybe I should watch the sequel Escape From LA and see if that's sufficiently violent for modern sensibilities
