They're all wrong saying the ball just hit Hinchappy. The replays clearly show that

No. I don't watch Yank films or telly. The accents mean I have no emotional empathy for the characters.

I don't really like gangster things, other than The Long Good Friday.

The Godfather is NOT a gangster film....

Long Good Friday is excellent :-)

It's about Septic gangsters, isn't it? That's what Godfathers are, the big boss of some Septic-Wop gangster organisation.

I really don't like guns and violence.

I am currently reading Zola's {?mile, not Gianfranco} The Belly of Paris. C19th European Romanticism. Much more my sort of thing.

WES, you should read it. It's set in the Les Halles markets just after they'd built it during the 2nd Empire. Apparently is was taken down around 1970 and the food market mover to Rungis. After reading all these descriptions I so wish I'd seen Les Halles in the old days. It's now an underground shopping centre - and of course the main central underground hub as all the RER lines go through Ch?telet - Les Halles. Beautifully written, so descriptive. Ganpati willing, I shall read more of this series of novels. He wrote ****loads apparently, like Balzac's Comedie Humaine series three or four decades earlier.

Your anti-Americanism is a bit worrying. More in terms of the things that too frequently sit just behind such a view.

And you're missing out on one of the greatest films ever made, by the way :-)

I won't quibble about great as opposed to very good, but I do love it.

Irritating point, how do you get a horses head full of blood into a bloke's bed without him noticing it? :sherlock:

And more importantly, why. Doesn't it strike you as a bit over the top? The deleted scenes show the guy is a nonce, keeping fenale childhood stars locked in his house....

That doesn't explain why he didn't wake up, though. .. :-)

Oh, I hate the anti-American left as much as I hate the Septics themselves. I just don't like the way their culture pollutes ours. There was a letter in The Times last week from someone who said that they walked past a Queen Anne house and heard two people who looked like they were in their early 20s agreeing with each other that the land would have been worked by slaves.

Idiots here with no understanding of history think that our history is the same as Yank history. Also lefties who assume the BoE is owned in the same way as the Fed or who call for the "defunding of the police." It's ****ing depressing.

Middle class Yanks from the '70s onwards wanted to virtue signal that they're good people so started CRT with all that intersectionality *******s and its poisoned our country.

As to films, I don't generally like them. In over a quarter of a century together so far, the glw and I have been out together to the cinema twice. That Chris Morris jihadi spoof, 4 Lions, and The Curse of the Were-Rabbit with Wallace and Gromit.

Yes, you cannot argue with Wallace and Gromit.
