It's not like the original is a greatly loved or even fondly remembered film. Even so, fuck 'em, it wasn't that bad.

The biggest outcry was over the Tyrone Power Jesse James movie. Two horses were dumped over a cliff to simulate the James' escape from a posse. The horses split open when they hit the bottom. A journalist happened to be on set that day, he wrote about it and it resulted in the American Humane Society seal at the end…

And that's why Peckinpah liked filming in Mexico. He could use trip-wires and blow up a bridge with horses on it.

Unsung genius. Good call.

If we're talking Spanish artists how about Goya? His Disasters Of War are still horrifying after 200 years. And I've never had a painting deliver such a gut punch as when I walked round a corner in the Prado and saw The Third Of May 1808.

Oh, Good Lord, no. He lives in her basement.

@washington, I'd recommend Dickie in Seance On A Wet Afternoon too. Seriously creepy performance. And everyone should read some Greene at some point in their lives.

No, Phil -sometimes Philip- Davis. He plays Chalky in Quadrophenia. But I wish that Daniels had been in Brighton Rock, he improves everything he's in.

Do you mean Back In Black?

Well done Amy! You're a real trooper!

And the guy who played David Lean's Oliver Twist and produced Fawlty Towers, John Howard Davies. Hell of a career.

It was mostly filmed in Eastbourne, which is a different kind of South Coast shit-hole. Good review of a mediocre film. What really reminded me of Quadrophrenia was Phil Davis popping up as Spicer.

Sorry to be ungentlemanly, but surely M'selle Huppert is a bit long in the tooth to be considered a call girl. Maybe a call woman, seeing as she's got to be nearing 60 by now.

You would be, you lumbering monstrosity.

There's a Golan-Globus Mack The Knife? With songs?

But will he do as good a job playing Prince Charles as Ben Cross in William And Kate? God, that's an awful movie. Let's hope this one's worse.

He does.

Her monument is the rare groove classic Camp Kuchi Kaia.

She's supposed to be from Yorkshire, so has a Northern English accent in the film. But from what I've seen of it she's been using Don Cheadle's accent coach.

Yeah, but we like nerds round here.
