i claudius Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) The lady in the van ,just downloaded on PB . been looking forward to this , about the old lady who lived in a van on Alan Bennets drive for years . Any inappropriate characters in it.casting wise? I will be keeping a close watch , but as its not set in the middle ages i feel it should be ok Best not to watch Gods of Egypt then. The main cast is all white with one black actor. All would stand out like a sore thumb in ancient Egypt!Not so the Egyptians had black slaves, mind you as it was a certain faith that captured black people and sold them as slaves. I would have thought that they would be complaining about it,strange that they don'tIs God's of Egypt good? Might give it a try Edited February 28, 2016 by i claudius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GinBoy2 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 The lady in the van ,just downloaded on PB . been looking forward to this , about the old lady who lived in a van on Alan Bennets drive for years . Thanks for the heads up, also been lookign forward to this one Just listened to Maggie Smith being interviewed on WHYY's Fresh Air. While I love her as an actress, can't say the premise of the movie fills me with a burning desire to watch it. She was clearly on a promotional tour to plug the movie, but heck it seemed a tough sell Grrreat little film...no special fx, just good performances and story. They also put someone in just for iclaudius. PS. Once you see it, please tell me im not the only one who thinks maggie smith looks like michael caine in it. Curious that you mention Michael Caine with regard to Maggie Smith, In the same interview I referenced before, she couldn't have been more complimentary about Michael Caine from their time making 'California Suite' Herbert Ross, the Director was notoriously awful to work with, and while she wouldn't say exactly what it was he had said to her during the filming which was so troublesome, simply said it was Caine that helped her get through the ordeal of filming with him.

Frank James Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Dickensian Have to put in one more rave for Dickensian, which just wrapped up its 20 episode first (?) season. It works as a master acting class, and the "mash-up" of characters form many of Dickens' novels works so well, I'm sure the Old Master himself would be well pleased. With the Artful Dodger befriending young Oliver Twist at the end, and walking away into the mist, ala Casablanca, there's hope for another set of these, and certainly CD himself left behind an infinite number of new situations to play with. The Dickensian home page gives a brief bio of each character, and the novel from which they came, which I wish now I had read at the beginning instead of the end. FLAWLESS! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank James Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Sorry to have "spoiled" it for you. Would it have been better if I had left out the three words "at the end"? I try to be very careful not to insert spoilers, or at least to pre-identify if I do. There are 20 episodes. Dodger plays a small part in the big panorama, and Oliver even less. I guess i wanted to point out that this would be a strong hint that the show might go on. Please accept my sincere apology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank James Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 The Room I had to pause this film at least 4 times. It was painful to watch, and terribly true to life. One of the "news" sites I read every day (NY Daily News) carries the latest true version of such stories every day, from all over the world. Once, this was the stuff of fiction (John Fowles: "The Collector"), but now it's all too real, almost commonplace. Brie Larson deserved the Oscar for her performance, but I almost had to shut it down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, been looking at this one and thb having the same thoughts as you had,, will get enuf about me to watch it,, Soonish ,,, oh and always have loved fowles and his take on ' 'control' and for some reason 'the collector' i particularly Liked arguably not his best but think it was the first of his i bought and always v much thought a test pad and stepping stone for.him to produce The classic 'the magus' Sent from my GT-I9000 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
