Oh, I totally agree.
Good film, if you have never read the novel.
It's just that if you have read the novel you hate the movie. For the reason you said.
"Cat" I hate as a play, whereas, as a film I think it is okay.
For the reason that, as a play, I thought it flawed, yet it was easy to adapt to film.

In terms of content. Yep. Even I kinda see the odd trail as a point flies past.
It has had some bizarre parallels to my life outside of this thread recently though.
From my own celibacy, to my A-Levels, to cooking, to reading about Campo's sponsorship of Mark Webber about 10 minutes before reading about Queenbeyan, etc.
I guess that this happens to everyone at some stage.
All it needs now is for someone to talk about Matt Dawson and his flogging with a spikey cactus, and it would be too much. |
Edit. Quoted while trying to correct spelling.Stoopit focker that I am.

Actually, I thought it was good stuff in the early days. Then, once it became popular and syndicated all over the place, it became production line. He hasn't drawn the strips for a long time, that's left to contract artists.

Quite amusing this - given S12 and it’s consistent ignoring of the law book. And clearly that’s where SH refs are going wrong – they are reading some silly rule book when they should be studying the laws of the game?  |
I've asked you to keep SF out of this thread!

I look forward to seeing England taking on better oppo than Italy with half your team retired and the other half out with his shoulder injury.

No, she doesn't understand sport. She's one of the country's most awarded playwrights. Unfortunately, this one has some real plotting, structural and conceptual problems. Some terrific performances that don't save it, unfortunately. I re-read some of the rave reviews last night. They glossed over the play's problems.

First post Deano era game tonight - away at Sale. Not an easy game at the best of times - so a good test for where the boys heads have moved to this week. |
Rest assured, if they lose, I shall draw attention to it in my usual fashion.

So you are playing your U-14's.
Big Deal.
So you will win a close one.

NH Tri-Nations?
I don't think so.
Our game breakers are injured in Murphy, Hickie, O'Driscoll.
We couldn't even beat you when we were dominant.
We don't have the strength in depth to beat the big boys when our best are out.
The problem is not so much in the forwards, I seriously think we will cope with the loss of Wood , as our replacements are test quality at set piece.l
It is our ability to break a line that worries me.
The big game for us will be Wales. It will tell whether our backup can cope with their flair with the ball.
If we beat England or France it will either be 1) Fluke or 2) Tactical (Raining in France, Ref. ignores the offside law while we pressure the half-backs)

Finbar, you should try reading Stanislaw Lem's "His Master's Voice".
Banks is good, but someone who doesn't like SF will hate it on grounds it looks like SF. Lem's SF is sometimes despised by SF fans because it doesn't look like space operas.
As for the 6 nations (sorry to be on topic), don't underestimate Wales this year. They showed good things in the World Cup and could beat any one of the big teams on a given match. But maybe I'm just dreaming.

to the former but I've never even heard of the latter. Is it any good?
