"Does Dennis Nicholls have no respect for human life?!"
It just isn't fair, Jack has already watched The Wind and the Lion on dvd, while us lesser mortals have to wait for the 'official' release in two weeks!
The Windy Lion stars Sean Connery, you may remember him as testy posterboy Zed from the 1974 film Zardoz, Zed's made so many appearances in testy that I think it's time we made him an honorary member.
Steveo stand back and let Flufferdoodle enact the grapes of wrath.
The gangs all here, all we need now is gazonga babes and some Python quotes and we'll be right at home.
OK...let's get started with the assimilation of this thread...
"Sir, I need your liver"
"And what are you doing this morning?
It's a birth.
Ah! And what sort of thing is that?
Well, that's where we take a new baby out of a lady's tummy.
Wonderful what we can do nowdays!"
"Is there something YOU'D all rather be doing than marching about the square? You'd all rather be at the pictures, I suppose!"
Now that we got some Monty Python Quotes and Gazonga Babes, all we need is out mascot, Nuts the Squirrel!
I wonder if THE TED will show up here and use some caps!
I don't think fans of this film will be disappointed (except it has these black bars at the top and the bottom).
Black bars again? Damn! When will they sort this problem out? I bought a widescreen tv to get rid of those pesky black bars and still they turn up!
Jack I once had a copy of 2001 with a moving star background in the black bars, what a travesty that was! The BBC have been apologising ever since!
Keith's Roosevelt is as much a classic as George C. Scott's Patton.
Hyperbole?!?! From Dennis? Can't be!!! Must be true. True? Wow!
Patton (1970) Best Picture: Scott won "Best Actor" awards from the Oscars, Golden Globes, British Academy of Film & TV Arts, Laurels, National Board of Review, National Society of Film Critics, & NY Film Critics.
Dennis: are you pulling my leg???
Here's a publicity still from the Wind & the Lion. You'll see Keith in his Roosevelt costume. That's Sean Connery in some very British non-Zardoz garb in the upper left. And that's, of course, Candice Bergen with her hand on Keith's left shoulder.
