April 10, 2003now *that's* entertainmentwatched the real The Italian Job yesterday (Noël Coward...XD), and will probably write more about it soon. it reminds me of something else i forgot to mention, though... ...the Sir Michael Caine special on Parkinson. this month, BBCA has dubbed as "Michael Caine Month," (and it was them who left out the "Sir," not me! XD) and as a result are showing a handful of his films as well as the Parkinson special during this month. (oddly enough, they don't appear to be showing The Italian Job---and i only regard this as odd considering that the Minis are VERY CLEARLY in the promos they've been running for this special festival! at least they're showing Get Carter...--;;;) right, so i watched the Parkinson special a couple of weeks ago. taped (and presumably aired on proper BBC) last November, it's one hour long and as one would expect, quite entertaining. the bit i remember best was a story he told about dancing at a disco with Sean Connery during the filming of The Man Who Would Be King in the Sahara. XD this interview is completely worth your time, if you've got BBCA. he's 75? i hope i'm that amusing if i live that long. O.O;;; also, for certain people who would care, there's a Parkinson coming up where he interviews Ms. Minogue, as well as one where he interviews Sr. Bowie. you might want to check their schedule for these episodes, and/or set your VCR appropriately...^^ oh, and on a completely different note---watched a lot of the extras on the R2 24 Hour Party People DVD yesterday, as well. still need a bit of time to process, but expect to write about those soon, too. however, seeing the interviews with Shaun Ryder and Bez were very...O.O;;; thusly, coming across this thread nearly had me on the floor. Shaun "Aston" Ryder. XD XD XD XD XD [also, hadn't realised Caine was a "Sir" until watching this special. XD which apparently so shocked me that i promptly forgot all about it until after i'd posted this entry, so i'm editing this now to reflect that. it's 3:25pm. whoops. XD] Comments
higuys!What yourblog powered by? Posted by: aast at May 11, 2007 08:02 AMno, haven't seen that movie either. will have to look into it. wonder if that got released here...? at least when the remake of Get Carter was released, some company had the good grace to make the original widely available here as well, so at least you had a choice...:P Posted by: janni at April 12, 2003 06:31 PM...but do you know of the other famous Caine quote said here a lot? From the film "Zulu!" (even though it was never actually said in the film by Caine - people will always do it in a Caine voice. Or argue blind that it was in the film...) we think it's hilarious, and i'm sure anyone we showed it to probably would, too. it's nowhere near as famous though---i think a lot of people probably aren't even aware of this movie's existence here, let alone of that line! their loss, too! it's a fun movie and a HILARIOUS line! :) did you know there's to be a Hollywood remake of it coming out later this year? :O that's what prompted us to go buy the original. remakes are hardly ever a good idea, and this one looks particularly horrid. >. Posted by: janni at April 11, 2003 12:44 PM...I only told you to blow the bloody doors off!"...is that filmic quote as funny / famous in the US as it is here? ( I believe it is in the top 5 most quoted lines from a film , in the UK) Posted by: Paul the Postman at April 11, 2003 11:15 AMPost a comment
