which compeltely disguised their method. I assumed there was a metal support involved, but it was so well done that I couldn't work it out

Have you seen 'Drive'? The soundtrack reminded me of Blade Runner a little.

Carey Mulligan?

I seem to recall being hugely underwhelmed by it as it had great reviews at the time, in hindsight I think these reviews were based simply on the male lead being the latest hot man in film.

He struck me as ever so slightly downsey.

The soundtrack I have no recollection of.

Drink may have been taken.

He's a getaway driver who only drives for five minutes, ffs? That's never going to work, is it?

I agree. He is a bit downsey. Also has rather a nondescript, weak-chinned sort of look to me. But what do I know? The ladies seem to go for him. :shrug:

What do you do?
I drive.

And he wore gloves. I have long since been of the opinion that a person, outside of perhaps F1, that owns or wears ‘driving gloves’ ranks very highly on the Deviantometer and at very least must appear on a few separate registers.

I mean, obviously Gladiator is great but most of the others are utter dross.

He's literally the most overrated director ever, at least until your man Chris Nolan came along and ruined Batman by having him talk like a dog off That's Life.

Tbf the drugs may have contributed.

My driving instructor reckoned wearing driving gloves should be a criminal offence. He was a bit odd, though.

Gladiator? Don't be a winkle, j. Great fight scenes, but everything else is poo.

The last Serial was an improvement, I thought. The professional investigator was particularly damning, I thought.

Surely she doesn't still think Adnan is anything other than 100% guilty?

Obviously he was doing far too much coke when directing Showgirls, so we'll let him off.

But alien, blade runner, thelma & louise, gladiator and, dare i say, american gangster, are all excellent or good.

You've got two seminal films in there.
