My fear with the proposed idea, though, is that revealing their origins may remove them of their mystery!<BR/><BR/>I don't pretend "Paradise Towers" is a classic, Simon, but it does actually contain some very good ideas even if they are all borrowed from J G Ballard! It's also reminiscent of Terry Gilliam's "Brazil". I think it still has a certain relevancy, in the wake of 9/11, warning us not to "build high for happiness"!<BR/><BR/>"All hail the Great Architect"!!TimeWardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853837867256272087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10873408.post-59428521069284759142007-07-28T19:10:00.000+01:002007-07-28T19:10:00.000+01:00Paradise Towers - eeeeesssh!!

They should have pranged her to death with that bloody toasting fork!!<BR/><BR/>Okay - I'll stop there! <BR/><BR/>I watched "Blink" again last night and it's true, Carey Mulligan is a pretty good actress!Old Cheeserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871751335676050949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10873408.post-87500237785340047082007-07-28T08:16:00.000+01:002007-07-28T08:16:00.000+01:00You had me going too.

Must admit, though, I'm tempted by the return of the Ood!!!<BR/><BR/>Who's Russell kidding, Paul, in his interview? Sounds to me like he has a chip on his shoulder about something, which comes over in some of the lines in his show - usually the lines that leave a bad taste in the mouth!<BR/><BR/>The pic of Carey, Simon, is from her new film "And When Did You Last See Your Father?" which is out in October. It stars Jim Broadbent and Colin Firth as well as another of my favourites Elaine Cassidy, whom I've posted about before.<BR/><BR/>Carey's wearing a name tag which, coupled with the dress, suggests she's at a wedding or some other family occasion. The Mel story you're thinking of is "Paradise Towers"!TimeWardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853837867256272087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10873408.post-84902369123817747082007-07-26T14:08:00.000+01:002007-07-26T14:08:00.000+01:00My goodness, I thought for one moment that was tru...My goodness, I thought for one moment that was true!! As the others say, if only! <BR/><BR/>I think we should petition RTD NOW to re-cast the companion. Move over Donna La Chav, Hello Sally the Sparrow! (Or should that be Sally Piaf?)<BR/><BR/>I thought it was kind of funny that the outfit Carey is wearing in your pic looks like the kind of thing Bonnie Lamgford's Mel used to wear! Can you imagine Sally screaming her head off and talking about carrot juice? Perish the bloody thought!Old Cheeserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871751335676050949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10873408.post-39376243318149076782007-07-26T09:26:00.000+01:002007-07-26T09:26:00.000+01:00NEVER in a MILLION YEARS would Russell or the prod...NEVER in a MILLION YEARS would Russell or the production team admit they had made a mistake. <BR/><BR/>Everything that goes right or wrong was planned right from Day One - you KNOW that Tim...<BR/><BR/>(and according to Russell's interview in The Word a couple of months ago, if you don't like it then you're a straight man who doesn't cry, because everyone else loves it)Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07955130887775079826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10873408.post-64098198585883780512007-07-26T08:44:00.000+01:002007-07-26T08:44:00.000+01:00sigh..... you had me goin' there....sigh..... <BR/><BR/>you had me goin' there....doppelgangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01054886001547860460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10873408.post-44618113691633490862007-07-26T07:23:00.000+01:002007-07-26T07:23:00.000+01:00If only!If only!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.com
