I saw an interview with A(a)ron Paul who said there was no CGI for any of the car stunts. :shock:
I was totally gobsmacked at some of them, definitely some of the best driving I've ever seen!!!

Some good films available on sky movies this week. Just watched 'Enough Said' (James Gandolfini's penultimate film :( ) and 'Nebraska'. Will probably watch 'Saving Mr Banks' tomorrow.

It took me a moment to get past thinking 'Hey, that's his Kevin Finnerty voice!' (Though it's pretty much the same in The Last Castle).

clapton is god wrote:^ Bought it from Amazon and received it yesterday. Hope to watch over the weekend but our lass was less than impressed when I suggested it yesterday evening so ended up watching Ronin again. I'll post comments after a viewing.
Did you ever watch this? (downhill) I told my dad about and he's just text to say how much he enjoyed it. For him to A. Enjoy a film enough to want to tell me. And B. actually send a text ! Must be testament to the flick...

Yep, sorry, watched it same weekend as above post, just me and Mrs C with lass opting out. Very, very good! Enjoyed it a lot. Loved the characters and the essential Englishness of it all. Thanks for the recco. Also watched your Aussie film recco from last week and found it a hard watch but what was interesting was that the three of us were still discussing and dissecting it the next day, which is always a good marker.

A lunch of wrapizzas. Like a King.

Gave up on the lunch/dinner thing a while ago, it's too confusing down here. Practicalities over principles. Still tend to say tea for my evening meal. Feel like a charlatan saying 'dinner' for some reason.

Have to translate for our Maud when I'm back home. A few weeks ago we were going to Middlebrook at about half 11 and my mum asked if we'd be back in time for dinner. Maud's response was 'oh yeah, we'll only be a couple of hours'. :D

Tomorrow ... Macbeth is the open in Grosvenor Park in Chester. The weather is said to be OK. Taling in your own food and drink is, apparently encouraged.

Should be interesting.

In Tom Stoppard's wonderful play Travesties we are in Zurich 1917, where were encamped James Joyce writing Ulysses, the Surrealist, Tristan Tzara, 'writing' cut up poetry and Lenin plotting revolution. Might be a temptation...
I thought I'd replied to this! I thought it might be the Bloomsbury set, but apparently it's New York in 1951.

Just watched the 1st one and thought it was excellent. Recommended.

Watching this think about 50 years of Match of the Day. Reminds of me pleading with my mum to let me stay up and watch it when I was a kid. It's still my favourite footie show, for all Sky and BT's techno bollocks.

Going to be weird watching it for the first time without the best pundit of the last 20 years.

That thing on ITV about the First World War, told from people's letters. Absolutely heartbreaking.

9-0'Clock. BBC4, Freeview 9 for an old classic tonight. The Eagle has Landed with Michael Caine. That's for me. :)
