Thanks, bexter2001, if that *is* your real name. I would love to
pretend that you'd fallen for the old Deliberate Mistake To Guarantee
Comments On Blog ploy, but it's a fair cop. It is indeed Ryan Gosling
who is in Drive and not My Good Friend Ryan Reynolds, but I'll leave
the mistake in and hope that more people are driven to the comments as a result.

Incidentally, I've added an extra film to the list above (The Artist).

Hi LizzieJ. The official FDA site for film release dates in the UK (see below) has it listed as August 26th - I took it from there. I've just double-checked and it's still August 26th. That could change, but that's the current official UK release date.

Since writing that blog I've seen a *third* version of the jar with "New Rack" written on it. Can't wait to see which one makes it into the finished film...

 Commented on 13.02.11 @ 16:30
I'm afraid it does sometimes happen that reviews are on the site even though the films aren't showing everywhere. However, the films should eventually make it to the different city venues - did you manage to catch it in the end? If not, it's out on DVD now...

I'm based in London, so it was showing here, though I first saw it at the Edinburgh Film Festival. The reviews show across all the View sites so that happens occasionally, I'm afraid. It's out on DVD now though - did you see it in the end?

It's a proper thing! I didn't just make it up. Celebrity deaths *always* seem to come in threes. Lots and lots of examples over the years, e.g. Lady Diana, Mother Theresa and...um...whoever else died around the same time.
Skyline Trailer

I agree. It made my Top Ten of 2010 over Top Story 3. I am secretly hoping it nabs the Best Animated Film Oscar, as I can't quite see them giving the award to a film with a 3 in the title, regardless of how good it is.
Disney 50
 Commented on 13.02.11 @ 16:13
I don't think they're counting direct-to-DVD sequels as (ahem) "canon". The 50 is theatrical releases only, I think. You're talking about things like Aladdin 2, right?

I can't *wait* to see The Great Mouse Detective. Very excited.

You're welcome! Thanks for commenting. Hanna does look like a lot of fun, I agree. She's a terrific actress too - this is a very interesting choice for her and not something I'd have expected. I hope it's good.
New Spider-Man Pictures
 Commented on 13.02.11 @ 16:03
It was never going to be a pre-Spider-Man prequel in that sense. I think what they mean is that he's still going to be at high school (as in the early Ditko comics), whereas the first Raimi film jumps to Peter working in New York and all you really get in high school is that bit with the tray. I agree with you though - I think it's much too soon to reboot the franchise, but I'm a huge Spider-Man fan too so no doubt I'll come around...

Well, that's true, of course. Lucas has got time on his hands though, surely? Come on, Lucas! Share with us your thoughts on the logistics of the Shia LaBeouf: Lord of the Monkeys scene!

Post-Credits Scenes Take Two and The Truth Is Out There
 Commented on 16.06.08 @ 22:39
They have, but I suspect no-one will mind all that much. I'm still waiting to hear who'll play Captain America. I refuse to get excited about reports that 'Marvel want DiCaprio for Cap' until he actually signs on the dotted line. Unlikely, admittedly, but it shows they're aiming high.
After the Credits Roll and The Lost
 Commented on 06.05.08 @ 22:04
Thanks for that, Anonymous (and thanks for all your previous comments too!) I was about to email the editor to get that line taken out. I was aware of the post-credits scene (hence me sitting through the credits twice) but the UK PR swore blind that it had been dropped from UK prints. It turns out that it had been dropped from the prints shown to critics but not the theatrical prints. Infuriating. I should have known something was up when they denied that the scene even existed (well after it was already up on YouTube). I shall amend the blog accordingly.

thedalyemail > Sadly, I saw it a couple of years ago at the Edinburgh Film Festival and, as yet, there's no sign of it getting a decent release (hence its inclusion in the "Please Release Me" section). That's not to say it won't get one eventually - there are several films coming out soon that were at the same festival, so keep an eye out. However, it's also available on Amazon.fr, with English subtitles: http://www.amazon.fr/Du-jour-lendemain-Beno%C3%AEt-Poelvoorde/dp/B000GCFAMK
The Spallness Factor and Get Smart This Summer
 Commented on 26.04.08 @ 13:41
I'm not being deliberately divisive! And I do rate Timothy Spall - it's just that I'm fed up with him playing whiny, blubbing losers, in much the same way that I'm fed up with seeing Robin Williams playing innocent man-child types. As long as Spall sticks to roles where he's not required to burst into tears about halfway through, everything will be fine. And for what it's worth, I really *am* looking forward to the Get Smart movie, though I accept that a) it may be rubbish and b) not everyone will share my looking-forward-to-it-ness.
