Hey, I love Raiders too; my brother and I must have gone to see it a dozen times in the cinema when it was released. I just loved Chariots that little bit more.

Cheers to you too! I lived out in Richmond in those days, and used to catch the 406 Railway bus downtown on a Saturday, to wander around Granville Mall (picked up some great movie memorabilia from Golden Age Collectables back in the day), go to Duthie's Books, grab a bite at Pacific Centre Mall, and then catch a movie…
Some of the western background shots were shot in our area of British Columbia last September, and my son was a production assistant on the shoot. When he found out about it he called to ask me if I'd heard of a show called Penny Dreadful. I replied that it was my favourite TV series currently on TV. Can't wait for…
I'll go with Noel Murray, and say that Chariots of Fire winning Best Picture in 1982 is my favourite memory. I'd heard some buzz about the film, and went to see it one night at the (long since closed) Capital 6 cinema on Vancouver's Granville Street. It was in one of the three small cinemas on the top floor, and I got…
Molesley: oh captain, my captain!
Uncle Julian couldn't have signposted Peter, Marquess of Hexham's, tendencies any more than he did, short of having Bertie wonder why Peter was forever painting rainbows everywhere. 'But he was always artistic, don't you know. . . .'
'I know you to be a nasty, jealous, scheming bitch … Don’t demean yourself by trying to justify your venom.'
Yes, we do; I got the Lieutenant-Governors (of which each province has one) with the Governor-General (only one of them).
I know that Mary's supposed to be the beauty of the family, but Laura Carmichael has really outshone her this season, aided by some absolutely beautiful frocks. The costumes for the season have all been lovely, but Edith's have been head-and-shoulders above everyone else's.
We already have one of those in Canada, although we pronounce the first word "Leff-tenant".
“When will it be over?” “Not soon. They go round and round.”
So Carol's pretty much directly responsible for Jessie, Ron, and Sam getting killed, because of frightening the bejesus out of poor Sam last season. Good thing Rick will never know, or things could get - tense.
'Who are you?' 'I'm the player to be named later.'
I was coming here to say exactly that. It's absolutely perfect, and the cast is impeccable. The four leads are great, but I especially love Ruth Hussey as Liz; the other three get most of the attention, but Hussey makes Liz such a wonderful character, both wisecracking and wise, and you get the feeling that if Tracy…
West coast of Canada, which is slightly more impressive than Abergavenny (in more ways than one; I've been to Abergavenny, so know this to be true).
The number of Saturday nights I spent babysitting, to a background of The Love Boat and Fantasy Island, back in the 1970s, is frightening. On the other hand, I was able to parlay all those Saturday (and other) nights into several decent purchases, as well as a trip to England when I was 17 (I was the only person of…
He had Edith name-drop Woolf a couple of episodes back, so I guess that box was ticked.
Molesley really has become my favourite character on the show (well, apart from Isobel). He was such a put-upon, sad-faced, comic relief buffoon for the longest time, but actor Kevin Doyle has really made him a three-dimensional person. I loved his and Baxter's sleuthing to find out that Bates wasn't a murderer, and…
I think The Walking Dead should do more 'period' episodes. This was a nice change of pace for the series.
I recorded the film on VHS years ago when it aired on TV one afternoon, and managed to get the Holmes bit, which I'd only heard about before then.
