I sit here, with my girlfriend aside me, drinking coffee and eating porridge. We are each on our matching laptops, looking out to a foggy Regents Park, connected to the larger world , each other and yet still the archetypal 21st century individual. I look across to glance at what she is reading or watching, … Continue reading Critique: A Critique

The Blockbuster Experience
Past thoughts, recollections and perhaps even rants may have led keen readers to think otherwise however Mr Hummels is a proud supporter of independent cinema and all the offal that accompanies it. And, after Saturday nights showing of Dr Strange in Leicester Square Odeon, will remain so. Please allow me to discuss. So, I understand … Continue reading The Blockbuster Experience

It was delightfully funny, perhaps mainly as I watched it with my Dad … Continue reading Political Cycle Setting 2 – Extra dirty, Double stains. Broken Machine.
The long awaited…
Here is the criminally overlooked, beautifully produced and masterfully directed 'The Mushroom and the knife' I hope you enjoy.

Introduction It is I! Wearer of Hummels, speaker of truths unto me, person with perception about which you are reading. Or in poorly translated spanish, La percepcion sobre que, tu estan leyendo. It is true, that if I were a professional footballer (an issue we've covered in the past), the chant directed at me from … Continue reading Mr Hummels. Back, in Hummels.
A glimpse…
So, as the questions grow ever stronger, and the hair grows ever longer, many avid readers are crying for a revelation in regards to the identity of Mr Hummels. This is understandable, however mystery and Mr Hummels go hand in hand. Without anonymity there would be no Mr Hummels. Complete creative discretion is the name … Continue reading A glimpse…
