I was there this morning and found one DVD only. No Pride and Prejudice on special and hardly a sci-fi one from the catalogue. They had Helen Mirren's 'The Queen' and if you are shifty like me, you could get the sweet thing at the counter to give you the special edition for the sale price. Sweet things are so easily intimidated. P&P, I had to pay full price at the ABC shop but it'll shut Mum up for weeks.<BR/><BR/>Fleetwood, be kind about those teeth, they're the only things standing (like tombstones)between him and starvation.<BR/><BR/>Sedgwick, tell me the granddaughter made you see "Horton sees a Who"? The thought of you sitting surrounded by raucous midgets is making me smile and loling.<BR/><BR/>River, some great bargains at BigW this morning but I had no money left.

So many people and there didn't seem to be any order to the dvd's. I had a really hard time finding the ones I wanted. I'm never doing that again.

He's ageing well and will make a really great looking old guy unlike some I could name.<BR/><BR/>Russell Brand wasn't bad updated for the 21stC. and I agree not a patch on George Cole.<BR/><BR/>M'Lord you actually went to see the remake! No one could have replaced Billie Dawn especially the voice. Melanie Griffiths sounds like a chipmunk.<BR/><BR/>Like I said Jayne, not the greatest comedy but enjoyable. Wait for the credits and the closing song though.<BR/><BR/>Bella, the last film I saw whatsisface in was ruined because I kept wondering when his face lift was going to fall. Talk about stretched leather. And you would make a wonderful bitch.<BR/><BR/>River, two of the best St T's movies are out on a double DVD.
