OK. I'll watch Miracle on 39th St. instead. That'd be something new.

that's because Novo was 5 streets too far

it's Miracle on 34th Street :lol:

Is this Grey Owl film crap, or just so overplayed that it was good the first time but now you're sick of it?

I found it interesting and watchable, I mean anything is watchable after watching mountain men and gold digging storage war pawn stars, but it is overplayed, it will do the rounds shortly;)

The film suffers a bit from omission and artistic license, as is often the case when you're already familiar with a biography. Maybe they'll string a whole bunch of them together, (Grey Owl, the Winnie the Pooh bear thing, maybe Passchendale or something tasteful about the War of 1812) make a weekend of it maybe? :fingerscrossed: :sick: I have Old Jock McGowan's fishing tackle that he used when he went fishing with Grey Owl in the '30s.

I don't think it's overplayed 'cos I'd never even heard of him.

He used to drink in the same pub as me. Cider and gin he ordered, in the same glass.
