I want to do a Claymation of Time's Arrow.<BR/><BR/>MA: University Challenge is just the UK version of College Bowl (which was referenced in Diner). I can't see it would be beyond anybody's comprehension.<BR/><BR/>Muthas: Welcome. Coffee's on, or would you like a glass of chateau pea-pod? The movie of The Rachel Papers is rather softer and less misogynistic than the novel. Dexter looks like a young Mart, but I don't think he is him.<BR/><BR/>Billy: Well it blimmin does matter.

Scarily accurate.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I live where it's set so I had lots of fun going "Oh, look, it's Christmas Steps!" etc.<BR/><BR/>I imagine that they played down the whole quiz show element because it's unlikely that US audiences will understand people competing where there is no money prize whatsoever.Spinsterellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611660308963083276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18775356.post-47494794936122954932007-03-06T18:37:00.000+00:002007-03-06T18:37:00.000+00:00I saw that trailer in the theater, and it was utte...I saw that trailer in the theater, and it was utterly incomprehensible on every level. I don't know <I>University Challenge</I>, so it wasn't that I was missing that element.<BR/><BR/>But the people doing the promo clearly have no idea what the movie is about either. So they have a voiceover line that the guy who goes to university "meets the perfect 10"!<BR/><BR/>Then they play off the number thing with really ugly graphics that say "what we search 4," "what we long 4," "who we're made 4."<BR/><BR/>What a riot.Mapeelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149683683413237283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18775356.post-35268903624571275842007-03-06T12:34:00.000+00:002007-03-06T12:34:00.000+00:00How on *earth* did they Yankify Jeremy Paxman??"Co...How on *earth* did they Yankify Jeremy Paxman??<BR/><BR/>"Come *on* Magdalen....."<BR/><BR/>And when will someone bring "Money" to the big screen?<BR/><BR/>Have a word, Tim...<BR/><BR/>Pompey were a bit unlucky at the weekend against the blue scum....<BR/><BR/>L.U.V. on ya,<BR/><BR/>BobWesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07104427046281324757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18775356.post-87937272954379416092007-03-06T07:31:00.000+00:002007-03-06T07:31:00.000+00:00What pissed me off about the film was that despite...What pissed me off about the film was that despite the class warrior theme the two female leads went to the two best-connected actresses in the fucking country.<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed the book and film possibly more than I would have otherwise because I *really* fancy David Nicholls.Spinsterellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611660308963083276noreply@blogger.com
