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

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? 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.
