Music Lesson 11:46am on 28 Sep 2009 Sorry about the pun, but you've really 'struck a chord' with me on this one. I'm a classically trained violinist, and competently play a range of other instruments from saxophone through to banjo. It really drives me nuts every time I see someone pretending to play an instrument on screen - I even remember as an impressionable child being frustrated at the dreadful miming on Top of the Pops! It's probably because we know what to look for - I'm sure pilots, for example, are equally frustrated at flying scenes.

One thing you forgot to mention was the marvelous performance of wittertainments friend, Kevin Spacey, as Bobby Darin in Beyond the Sea - one of the few movies that I've bothered to buy a copy of.
Robbo's England picks 08:48am on 08 Sep 2009 I haven't commented on this blog for a long time, though I always read it and usually enjoy it. I'm probably a bit late, but I just wanted to join the club - JoeDavisRoach needs to get a job, get some sex and stop drinking, in no particular order.

Stop being so clever ;-) and I don't know whether to laugh or cry at your comment...
Damned if you Do: Michael Sheen and Me 6:08pm on 27 Mar 2009 Good Dr. K.

Regular watcher, listener, reader of your work, occasional poster...

Sorry to dig up an (recently) old topic, but also on the re-makes theme, I recently watched possibly my all-time favourite movie, The Magnificant Seven, which boasts in it's credits that it is based on a Japanese movie called The Seven Samurai. I was wondering firstly, do you share my enthusiasm for The Magnificant Seven, (and incidentally, all-things Steve Mc Queen), and secondly, have you actually seen, or even heard of, The Seven Samurai? I ask because I'm roughly the same age as you, and I'm sure you remember as a boy watching The Magnificant Seven along with James Bond, The Great Escape, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang et al every Christmas on BBC. Another of my boyhood favourites was of course The Italian Job which was completely ballsed up in the remake. Can The Magnificant Seven be modernised, and also if you've see The Seven Samurai, how does The Magnificant Seven compare?
Man Utd look unstoppable 08:01am on 06 Mar 2009 What's wrong with so many of you who hide behind your screens criticising the authors of these blogs? I've checked out some of your comments left on other blogs, and it's just the same - bitter wannabe's with nothing better to do. If you don't have anything to say, then don't say anything. Constructive criticism is fine, but moaning over nothing is pathetic.

I'm an armchair football fan who doesn't claim to know everything, so I found this blog informative and well written, as of course were the majority of the comments left above.

Cheers Phil.
Reviews Bonanza: Anvil, Gran Torino and Che Part Two 10:24am on 03 Mar 2009 Completely off topic, but from Fridays wittertainment, Frido and President Camacho was of course from Idiocracy, currently running on Belgian cable, and one that I can't help watching over and over...
Bouncing Back With Boro 07:58am on 03 Mar 2009 Top blog Robbo - I always read and occasionally comment. You were obviously in a good mood yesterday - never seen you respond to the comments so often!

I just wish I'd read this yesterday - I would have loved to have joined the love-in with GazUtd - both yours and his comments were priceless and made me giggle. Looking forward to the next one...
Goal Dust 2:51pm on 27 Feb 2009 please don't bite...
Goal Dust 2:23pm on 27 Feb 2009 Idiot.
