Where Eagles Dare is one of my favourite movies too. Though the best ones are the Man With No Name trilogy...Scots Greys, the last charge of the Old Guard...gotta love it!

Actually, he has a name in the films. His name is Joe Manco. Alternately, he's refered to as "Blondie." The "Man With No Name" misnomer comes from the American promotion of the Leone/Eastwood films back in the sixties. "The Man with no name and the short cigar is Clint Eastwood.," etc. Ironic, since he had a name! ahahahahah

Today it's BAD LIEUTENANT with its original, SCHOOLY-D  music score (pre Led Zeppelin lawsuit) and the most recent episode of JOHN FROM CINCINNATI (more DEADWOOD folk are turning up on the show, which is a good thing, but David Milch can't capture that lightning in a bottle a second time; on a relevatory note, Ed O'Neill gives the best performance of his career in each and every episode).

Transformers today. Not a big fan of the story but what else is there to do on a Monday evening?

It does look quite stonking as far as this sort of thing goes.  Good quality copy?

CD, I'm in Denmark, so the copy is the one shown in the cinema. Hopefully it'll be a good copy, with the absurd prices they demand for movie tickets these days..gosh...I just morphed into my Dad... agagagagag

Transformers is officially one of the best movies I have seen all year. Gigantic robots, everything that can be blown up is blown up and it's hilarious. I mean, it's really funny in the good way. When you come across a good copy of this, buy it! now I can only wait for Harry Potter (movie), Harry Potter (book) and Simpsons...the future holds good things...

For some reason it won't come out in the UK til 27th July (for some reason us limeys always get shafted in this regard).  So I can't see it in London when I'm in London for the first time in 4 years from 17th to 25th July.  asasasasas asasasasas asasasasas

Not to worry, the sweet pirates will furnish you with a copy before long.

I reckon it has to be one for the big screen, though.  It has arrived at the cinemas here in Dlaian.  Probably the sort of film that can be watched in a dubbed version with no probs!

I don't know. There are quite few funny lines in this movie.

It cuts both ways. Off the top of my head I can think of a few American films the "Limeys" got before the Americans:

LAND OF THE DEAD
GHOST DOG: WAY OF THE SAMURAI
and some that haven't been released in the U. S. some 8 years after the studios financed them, like Johnny Depp's THE BRAVE (f'n brilliant movie)
and some U. K. audiences were given a test screening of THE SIMPSONS MOVIE but none have surfaced in America.

We have yet to see Guy Ritchie's REVOLVER (2005) produced by Luc Besson, as well; but it's had a fair shake in the U. K

I'm soooooooo excited for The Simpsons Movie.  And I have to say that, even though I was upset when some plans in China fell through, I was relieved to find out I would still be in the US when the next Harry Potter movie (and book) was released.

My dying, rustbelt corner of the world will get the movie, but not the KWIK-E MART mock-ups done to a handful of 7-11s around the country :(

Borat - tonight I watched this.  American friend told me that the DVD version I have has a lot more in it than the cinema version. But I was totally opened mouthed all the way through - from disbelief and hysteria.

Followed it up with some of the "Safanic Verses " - Safron vs God - which is also hysterical, and then "Kath and Kim" - again an absolute classic!

It's equal parts Norman Gunston and the late Andy Kaufman's "Foreign man," cranked up to 11.
