Cinema is back in the doldrums, it could be a complete flop.

In fact the worse written a book is, the more copies it sells.

You know a good forensic accountant, cause that's what it takes to find

Apparently Runt carefully reads all Earl's posts to make sure he
doesn't care about them. What a loser!!

Is that based on Jude the Obscure? I haven't seen it.

Yes. The current Dr. Who has certainly modernised though. It's still
male hero with female 'assistant' but she's a pretty strong-willed
character. Also interesting is the extra male sidekick of dubious sexual
orientation. Hints of T. Russell Davies' influence perhaps?

Any true depiction of Jude the Obscure will have the audience sawing
through their wrists before they've got half-way through their popcorn.
It's one of the bleakest books I've ever read - I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Travel trivia - they filmed (at least part of) it in Durham.

Dunno - I saw them filming it in Durham. Perhaps they did other bits
elsewhere. They made a hell of a mess - covered up the road surface
with dirt to simulate an un-made road. Took ages to wash away.

Dubious? What's dubious about Jack's plurisexuality? Not even aliens have a chance of

A lot of it was filmed in the Edinburgh Old Town - the High Street
near Parliament Square and around Greyfriars Churchyard. I haven't
seen the film but I have seen the set.

You can often watch movies being shot below George IV Bridge in summer,
in the cul-de-sac that leads to the back entrance of the High Court,
which is easy to dress up as an 18th or 19th century street. But it
does get *some* traffic; shooting must occasionally be interrupted to
make way for police vans loaded with thugs on their way to jail. If
they'd only ship them out in tumbrils the courts could make a bit of
money out of their location.
