Just out of interest, does James McAvoy use a wide range of accents for all those personalities?

We now take our own popcorn (3 bags for $1) to the movies, one bag microwave popped before we leave, then put the topping on it when we get there. Why pay $8 or so.

Why even have popcorn? Fruit drops (with silent wrappers) and a choc ice or tub in the interval

Later today we're going to see 'Gold'

Nope, just the popcorn, no other luxury items. The ones you mentioned are way more expensive than the $0.333 bag of popcorn (3 to a box ActII brand)

I'm speaking more from (UK) memory where the fruit drops would be ones you'd already bought and the choc ice/tub wouldn't cost any more than from the local shop.

Yes, just watched it. Finally. On Netflix now.

I'm a sucker for journalist related stuff and war correspondent/photographer in particular.

One I've not seen since the 80s when I caught it on C4 is Circle Of Deceit (Die Fälschung)
I've not found a stream of it anywhere - a genuine one, not one of those pretend ones - except in German with no subs.

It's on Amazon.com streaming but it needs a credit card with a US address. I succumbed and ordered the dvd from amazon.ca
