I like the film, partly because of the on-location stuff in Rome etc, so I'll be interested to hear how it works on stage.
Yeah, but it does have Jude Law in it, and anything with Jude Law in it means you come out angry.
Aye, he's a good looking fella isn't he!

Why?

And, at any rate, I do believe he gets his head brutally smashed in with an oar in that film!

I'm not sure, I think it's his face. Can't stand the guy. I don't even think he is that bad an actor, just whenever he comes on screen I want to punch him. The oar thing was nice, except, he is in the paper every sodding day, normally after knocking up some new bimbo waitress, so that glorious dramatic illusion is shattered, as you realise the tosser isn't actually dead. Rant. Over.

Nah it can't be that, because I don't hate everyone better looking than me, and with more bimbo waitress notches on their bedposts. That'd be a lot of people to hate. Anyway, you mean envious.

I haven't seen the film - as for the on-location Rome stuff, the Queen's Theatre set designer IS very good! I'll report back! 8)

I just watched the first episode of the 'sequel' The Pacific which came out on Sunday in the US. Very good, at a faster pace than BoB though.

It was interesting - set design was good - lead actors good - all of which sounds like "faint praise".... I think the company did as well as they could with the script - but you can't get away with the fact that it is a bit weird, and I'm still not sure I have much of an idea what it was about (expecially a much-repeated dream sequence where he describes a dream with three people on a sinking harbour and a cobra and some toast...)

having said that it did portray a sense of manace and threat - which is what the book was about (I think) - and lots (rather too much for my liking) of scenes where two blokes act in their pants - tight ones - evoking a vague undercurrent of homo-eroticism which is never really developed, only hinted at...

had a nice Magnum during the interval.

Watched this on Sunday with Mrs Enfield and Miss Enfield.

No plot as such (apart from the message about greedy humans having destroyed their Mother Earth looking to rape a green planet of it's resources irrespective of the indiginous population's rights). Think Wall-E meets Pocahantas meets Dances with Wolves meets a Man called Horse.

Anyway, fantastic special effects.

I'm amused that every year I spot another actor who's just made it big. Last year Simon Pegg. This year James McAvoy and Jamie Bamber, who I can't believe I didn't spot up til now.

sure i saw Gruey in a couple of episodes!? he was the postmaster iirc.

Marc Warren too, that fella who looks like a young Malcolm McDowell - he turned up in that 'Wanted' last year as the repairman.

And Doctor Who he was too :mrgreen: we know Mr Warren

Lookin through the Pacific at their castlist of relative unknowns. Wonder who's gonna shoot up to stardom from that. 5, 6 years on our 3rd watch of the pacific we'll be saying "oh look, the guy who's playing Darth Vader's dad and the prequelquel is sat on the hill with burns"

Anyone been watching the 'wonders of the solar system' programme? Brilliant watch - nice to see a presenter who is enthusiastic and manages to share his interest in an entertaining way.
