There are so many Bowie things I could have posted here, but they all got bumped down the list because David Bowie might be going back into the studio!

On Adaptations – Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
While we’re at it, let’s muse a bit on the two film adaptations of Tinker, Tailor: The 1979 BBC mini-series and the 2011 theatrical release.
Since I’ll be covering a fair number of spoilers, we’ll put the rest below the cut.
A Double Dose of Friday Bowie
Is it strange that the British say Bowie like a respectful bow, while Americans say it like a bow tie. Unless you’re from Maryland or Texas, where you go nuts and say Boo-ie.
Lucero just did a cover of Bowie’s Modern Love for AV Club’s awesome AV Undercover. I wouldn’t say it’s awesome, but it’s passable, and always nice to see people appreciate the less well known Bowie works.

Speaking of which:
What I Just Read – Neuromancer
Neuromancer is William Gibson‘s first novel and the foundation for much of the cyberpunk sci-fi genre.
Quick Movie Review – Take Shelter
Dewart: You’ve got a good life, Curtis. I think that’s the best compliment you can give a man; take a look at his life and say, ‘That’s good’.
It’s a testament to the filmmakers and crew that a movie about a man building a storm shelter could be so incredibly beautiful, terrifying and compelling. It’s a story that’s intensely personal and apocalyptic at once, and the only thing I can think to criticize is its use of children as props rather than as characters.

Friday Bowie has a floppy hat
I guess he likes to eat flowers too.
I suppose it would also be wrong of me not to mention that Bowie and his lovely wife Iman just celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary this week. Aw.
