Too much for my liking and I'm British. That recent show The Assets took it to ridiculous lengths, although I'm sure there must have been some American actors in it somewhere.

Watching (or listening to) Ian Hart use a British accent one night on the new show The Driver, and then hearing his American one the following night on The Bridge is disconcerting, to say the least.

During the hold-up it looked as if some of them were wearing animal masks, and I'm wondering if that was a little nod to the second season of the Danish/Swedish original version, where the bad guys also wore them.

Mick Ronson was there that night as well, wasn't he? From simulated fellatio to the Lord's Prayer, they'd certainly come a long way from their appearance at the Hammersmith Odeon 20 years before.

Yeah, for a minute there I thought Bowie did his Lord's Prayer thing at Live Aid, but I think it was at a benefit concert some years later.

Better drums and Sting, but not McCartney or Bowie as stated in the article.

I read that he wanted changes made, but I'm not sure exactly how noble he wanted the character to be. I always assumed he didn't fancy the idea of playing a drunk lawyer who turned up at funerals looking for work. Or one who slapped Charlotte Rampling at the end.

The biggest scare/fright in ATPM was actually at the very start when the
typewriter keys crash onto paper out of nowhere, especially if you were
lucky enough to see it on the big screen. 70s films were good at keeping you off-balance.

RR in a film like this makes me wish he had gone ahead and played Frank Galvin in The Verdict. It was a role that would have really tested him at that point in his career. Newman was great, but the idea of a star lawyer fallen on hard times would've been even more effective with Redford, maybe, if he'd been willing to…

Every time I see this film I think that it was actually Redford the actor who made the mistake, rather than Redford as Woodward. I thought that Pakula must have decided to leave it in as a lucky accident because it's something you never see in films.

I never thought to see the day when Jon Amiel, the director of The Singing Detective, would be churning out stuff like this.

I found that the two main characters in all versions of the show - Danish/Swedish, American/ Mexican, British/French - were the strongest parts of the show. The serial killer aspect was just okay, and was mainly useful to see how the characters and their world developed as the show went on.

Well, how good can it be when Patrick Dempsey plays the maid of honour to Michelle Monaghan (his secret love) who's marrying Kevin McKidd's Scottish lord? Throw in a few kilt jokes and you'll get the picture. The scenery's nice, though.

Well, only about half the population of Scotland (to belabour a point).

Whereas Made Of Honor was quality all the way.

As long as he's not in Scotland.

Ha! It all(most) makes sense now.

I'd have (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais as their best song, followed by Stay Free and Complete Control. The headline confused me, though, as I've never thought of WMIHP as an album track.

My mother was pretty relaxed about what she let me watch, but she had been so traumatised by the shower scene that she refused to let me watch Psycho when it came on TV.
The one other thing she had a problem with was a scene in Shenandoah where something happened to one of James Stewart's daughters, and whenever it…

Redford did all right in the film, actually; of all the actors who've played Dortmunder, he was most successful in capturing the pessimistic nature of the character, I think, despite the fact that he looks totally unlike Westlake's description. It's just that things in life tend to go badly for Dortmunder, and it's…
