Sin City was OK but hugely over-rated.

It needs to be better or have some proper stripping from the Alba

One I’m looking forward to is Clive Barker’s remake of the original Hellbound Hellraiser one of the greatest British horror films ever made.  Still in early development but if he can capture the atmosphere of the original he’ll be onto a winner.

Probably have a gawp at Saw III for the gore and Tarantino and Rodriguez’s Grindhouse.

 Think you need an open mind,   for this sort of thing (ps I'm not suggesting you haven't ) meaning more, go to something on spec....it might be crap it might be great.
 
  The Libertines looks good, as apparently the debauched Earl of Rochester had some connection with Lydiard.

  Anything with a Ken Loach input like Tickets, will at least be thought provoking

  And Soy Cuba sounds like it'll be worth brushing down the old Che Guevara beret for.

The Libertine is ok, bit long and drawn out though.

Filmed not far away from me and a good friend who does extra work got buggered against a tree.

  Oh I see it was part of the film....I thought just some random theatrical practice.

   When I was an extra in Ken Russell's Tommy, I got a free ticket to a Who concert......they played 6 numbers and fucked off.

Did you make the big screen Reg and any sign of Reed or Nicholson?

I've done a bit myself mostly TV work but it's the most tedious job in the whole world and wasn't worth the pure boredom of sitting around all day.

My brother did alright he managed a minor role opposite the lesbo from Brookside and got £250 - £300 a day plus expenses the cunt.

  No.....apart from a crowd scene....the bird I lived with, got picked out, because she was fit,  given a nurse's uniform to dress up in and had to wheel in the deaf, dumb and blind kids.

28 Weeks Later... (2007)
The film starts six months after the Rage virus has spread throughout the city of London. The United States Army has restored order and is repopulating the quarantined city, when a carrier of the Rage virus enters London and unknowingly re-ignites the spread of the deadly infection, wreaking havoc on the entire population.


Sounds shit :roll:
