grant said...: Whoo-hoo - I'm in! When does it open?
Oh, actually I think I know: there was a fight between the studios because this movie was due to open on the same weekend as Nicole Kidman/Hugh Jackman's "Australia" and they negotiated to open on different weekends to maximise audiences. Regarding "Australia", I think I'll wait until it comes out on video...; 4:48 pm
damian said...: What about the finale in "Octopussy" when Roger Moore dressed as a circus clown diffuses the nuclear bomb. Man, they don't make them like that anymore. On a lighter note, I bought Taledega Nights on DVD for my own personal collection. Ive watched it about 20 times already. Highly recommended.; 10:58 pm

grant said...: With all due respect, Damian, I saw Taledega Nights a few months ago. I know they probably saved a lot of money by not having a director or editor but it might have helped. Delete the useless scenes and it would be a 14-minute movie. I liked the cougar-in-the-car scene and the father selling the tickets Will had put away for him at every race but, otherwise, it doesn't warrant ONE viewing, let alone twenty. You need to start getting your act together...; 6:42 pm
Newcastle Roffs said...: Sorry,Grant,but Taledaga rates very highly with me. Most of the irrelevant scenes are hilarious. (the scene in the bar "say crepes are the best", saying grace etc).
I'm with Damian on this one and you know I don't often agree with him.

PS. Get "The Matador" out and watch it ASAP

Shake n' bake!; 6:38 pm
