Hither (sometimes Thither)
I've set to record BBC4's Storyville tonight. The Queen of Versaille. It was only on at the cinema late last year for a week here or there and i missed it. It concerns this lavish and cartoonish former billionaire couple who've had a financial collapse and had to reposition themselves somewhere in the real world again. The review i read a while back tickled me when it mentioned that the wife of the piece all shoulder-padded and a big bag of surgeries rents a car from run-of-the-mill Hertz when disboarding a standard airline flight and asks them at the desk: and who will my driver be today?
Should be a good un.

Me too. I caught a trailer for it on some rented film or other, and it looked quite interesting.

-Dead Man's Shoes(after it was recommended on here). Not bad. 6.587/10
-50 Dead Men Walking (BBC 1 last night). Awful performance from English actor with big hooter. 6.459/10
-Friday Night Lights Good adaptation of the book, but the book was better. 6.123/10
