Subject: RE: BS: Seen any good movies lately?
The other day I found, in a charity shop, a film (in video-tape format) that I had wanted to see for ages. It was called 'The Limey' and starred Terence Stamp. It was about a gangster from the East End of London who goes to Los Angeles to investigate the death of his daughter.

It turned out to be eye-wateringly, tooth-achingly BAAAADDD!!!!! The plot, the acting, the dialogue were just awful - especially the dialogue ... no, that's unfair, the plot was worse ... holes that fleets of aircraft carriers could pass through without touching the sides ... but on the other hand the scene where Stamp talks in Cockney rhyming slang to the LA cop ... my toes still haven't uncurled after a week!!

I hope the Director (and Stamp) were shot soon after this went out.

Still, the video only cost me 99p and I'm eternally grateful that I didn't go to the cinema to see it!
